Well what a day. I am dead tired and feel really anxious, don't even know why but feeling stressed to the hilt.
Have had a letter off Egg offering me £20 and I'm going to accept, it's better than nothing at all. Also sold 3 more playstation games on Amazon so that's anotrher couple of quid to go into DS's savings.
Have just done the lottery for tonight but am not feeling lucky at all. Have got my tea cooking and the house to myself. DD up her friends until 7.30 and DS out with the boys until he's hungry and comes home. Its just me and the cat.....0 -
I've just typed up a long entry in the diary and the computer lost its connection before I could submit it :mad: So I've got to start again.
Last day in work today and a long weekend off. Not got anything planned but still not being in work until Tuesday is a fabulous feeling.
I'm going to spend tomorrow giving the house a good spring clean and going to catch up on some reading and college work during the rest of the weekend. It's excitement all round at my house :rotfl:
Well I'm only waiting for the Halifax to pay me out now and then I've exhausted every creditor I've ever had and reclaimed all the charges I've ever paid. I feel quite sad about this as I love the feeling that there may be some money owed to me however small the amount may be. Will have to think of some other money-making ideas then.
Even Amazon seems to be slowing down. Only sold 3 PS2 games last night so I'm a little disappointed with that as well. Hopefully over the weekend the sales will pick up and I'll clear a few more.
Right I'm off to get ready for work now, got to get some money out of the cashpoint on my way as the purse is looking pretty empty.
Catch you all later and have a good day x0 -
Hi GR
how are you? Good to see DS is still doing well with his sales.
Hope you're feeling a bit better than of late. A break sounds like just what you need.
Just off dropping DS at swimming so maybe catch you later.

Hi Dizzy, feeling much better these last few days, I just can't stop eating. I can feel that I've put weight on but haven't got the incentive to diet at the moment. I have been so looking forward to these few days off, even though I've got noting major planned, I just need to chill out a bit.
Have just popped a pizza in the oven for my tea then I'm going to have a nice hot bath and watch some TV in between popping on here.0 -

Ooh that does sound nice. Don't worry about the eating. Come summer we'll be in our gardens eating salads and fruit. So you'll lose that little bit you 'might' have put on.
Have a good relax tonight and catch you in between.

Thanks Diz, Pizza was lush and bath was lovely and hot, now sitting here in nice clean jamas watching Eastenders. Going to pour myself a nice 'little' vodka and coke now.
Have finally sold something on Amazon, I get really disappointed if I don't have my daily trip to the post office.0 -
Ooh I do miss a good pizza. Glad you had a good chill out.:D
I noticed the amazon fees are quite expensive. Only sold two things and my fees are £5 odd. Still the bit they put towards P&P does help.
Both items came to £16 and I get around £14 something, so not bad I guess, more than I would have got on ebay and a lot easier!
Well it's Good Friday as I type so... Happy Easter :easter:

I guess you had another late night looking at the time you left your message. Well I've hit a crisis today. Tax credits haven't gone in!!!!!! I've telephoned them and they reckon that it was released for payment on Wednesday night. I've decided to borrow £100 from the savings account and pay it back when the tax credits get paid in. Really hate doing that but I really need to go food shopping today so need some money.
Feel really annoyed but at least I've got a back-up plan whereas in the old days I would really have been stuck.
My plan today was to spring clean so why don't I feel like doing it. I've washed the dishes and put some washing in the machine and that's it. I'm going to do 4 rooms today
bathroom,
kitchen,
dining room
living room
and the rest tomorrow. Have only managed one sale on Amazon and feel a bit disappointed with that.
Will catch you all later x0 -
Well the Tax credits still not gone in. Where can they be???
Have managed to get to Asdas but it was like a fair. The queues were massive and I spent £80 on shoppingNot very happy about that but it should last me a bit. Also bought some cake making stuff to keep DD amused over the next few days.
Not doing very well with my spring clean and decluttler. Have completed 2 rooms and going to try to get the other 2 rooms done now.0
