    Have managed to get 6 things listed on e-bay, not very much I know but pretty good considering I sold everything that wasn't bolted to the floor last year. Have got 3 watchers on my exercise bike which I'm selling for £35 so I'm hoping that will sell. My son also donated £5 of his easter money into the holiday fund. Am saving money today and staying in. Hate Bank Holidays everywhere is so busy!

    Hope your all having a good one and enjoying the fine weather.

    Well I've got 3 watchers on my exercise bike and 1 watcher on my wedding dress. Would absolutely love to sell those two this week would bump my savings up by £65. I've even posted the letters to Barclaycard and Northern Rock to try to claim back some mis-sold PPI so fingers crossed for that as well.

    I'm hoping I'll get my holiday pay from my last job in this months wages, that should be about £200 - £250 so that'll also be a welcome surprise. In my mind there are so many plans but real life keeps spoiling them :)

    Nothing much else happening in my little life, seem to be plodding along quite nicely. Hope everyone else is OK

  • Fingers crossed for holiday pay and PPI claims GR and of course ebay. Really hoping you do well so you get a fab holiday.

    Thanks KP, really need a few days away but want to go abroad if possible. I'm sure I'll get there.

    Have had 2 £2 coins today so have popped them in the savings tin. Also got a mystery shop tomorrow so that's another £10. Still got no bids on the e-bay items but the watchers are still there, the items end on Saturday so I hope something sells!

    Well the only things I've failed to do is finishing tidying downstairs and put petrol in the car. Will maybe pop out later for petrol and I've got all day tomorrow to clean so it's all looking good. Actually got carried away with e-bay and listed about 12 items :)
