    Morning looks like another hot one today!

    I was going to go to a boot sale this morning but over slept as didnt get much sleep last night in the heat.

    Ive just been working out how much fees i need to take from my OH's money from paypal and i didnt realise how much Ebay's fees cost!!! One game sold for £23.00 and ebay took £2.17 in fees and paypal took £1 in fees so he only actually got £19.83 for the game!!! How can ebay charge sooo much sellers fees?!:confused::confused:

    My OH just called to say his brother's girlfriend is having a baby. And i came over all green eyed monster for a while. :( Silly of me i know!

    I have been playing free bingo all morning on www.winkbingo.com as they give you £15 free no deposit. Im down to £5 with no wins so far. They only do lines, i normally play on the pictures.

    Im waiting for my OH to have his sunday roast then come over to go blackberrie picking with me as i couldnt really pick them yesterday my dog didnt like just standing there!
    I was tempted to pop out and buy TNOTW paper for the £5 off £30 in tesco but i dont need anything from tesco at the moment and mum shops online so didnt bother in the end.

    Italy was FAB Maria, i didn't want to leave. I think i'm going to try and learn to speak Italian. Its one place my OH and I just love.

    Maria/Lil Miss, it will be you soon. I was like you up until a year ago when my sister had my lil niece. I then realised having a baby was a MASSIVE thing, and rushing into it because i was broody was prob unfair on the little one.

    Glad you had a good time Hayley you lucky thing. They should teach Italian at school instead of german. I liked french but hated german at school...its such a horrible sounding language. But french and Italian are sexy :p

    My 2 nephews were the first cause of me wanting a family, espesically after seeing my OH playing with them.....arhh!:rolleyes: And some other reasons that i wont go into.

    I agree, I think more people go to France and Italy than Germany. I bought my OH one of those Italian learning kits, he's listened to the CD once in the car then gave up, i think its time we went to the free courses they offer at our local community centre.

    I was the total opposite, seeing how much work having a baby is put me off. My niece is the best thing ever, but i'm always so happy to hand her back after my OH and I have had her for the day. I can't wait to get pregnant, and go through the whole experience with my OH, but i'm happy to wait until we're both ready and financially secure before we try for a baby.

    Yeah we're both ready emotionally but not house wise. Which is most important! We dont go out clubbing or drinking etc so we wouldnt miss our social life coz we dont have one anyway! I stopped going out drinking years ago when i realised what a waste of money drinking is! I think me and OH are 50 years old stuck in 25 year olds bodies! LOL.

    Hiya

    missed your debt free date (was on holiday!) so great news.

    Luncheon vouchers are pretty common and are accepted in loads of places - I think some supermarkets accept them.

    Hi peb thanks! :A

    Yeah they do say tesco, asda, boots, kfc, mc'd's, BK etc. Not sure if i will be storing these up or spending them as they dont expire till 12/09. They were a nice surprise as i didnt know i was getting them, as on survey it didnt tell me what i was getting for doing it.
    I may have to hide these from OH esle he will use them straight away on Mcd's:rolleyes:
