    Oooooo a baby, I'm all broody - lucky you.

    I had to go and do some training today on the maternity ward and there were lots of new babies in lovely white crisp babygros and I felt so broody. Then I came home to the nags of the kids and changed my mind.

    Catch you in a bit x

    I've had a sale. Its only £4.50 but it's made my day. Have also had a bid on something else so I know that's definitely another £4. Have also listed a few more items on both e-bay and Amazon.

    Good Morning. Last day in work for me until Tuesday. Have got nothing planned but am just looking forward to not going to work.

    Logged onto e-mails this morning and I've sold an item on e-bay making me £13 and also had enough points with Mutual Rewards to request payment of £20. I've added these to my total but haven't updated my sig yet.

    Not got anything major happening today other than the usual run of the mill stuff so will update later on any developments.

    Update already

    Have just checked Quidco and I've been paid £70. Not going to inckude that in this months challenge though because I don't receive it until the first week of June so I'll include it in next months challenge.

    What a busy day I've had today!

    Have sold another 3 items and listed a few more things on e-bay. Decided to sell my wedding dress. Got rid of the husband so pointless keeping the dress. Also found a digital camera which I've also listed. Hopefully I'll get some interest on those.

    Hi GR
    Oh my you have been busy! Well done on those sales. Your totals are rocketing!!! [EMAIL="I@m"]I'm[/EMAIL] so chuffed for you. You just never give up and look how it's paying off, literally :D
    I've got bids on 3 of my items so at least something will go.
    I bet you feel a lot better knowing you've got a few days off. Hope the weather stays nice. Or at least hope it doesn't rain.
    I'll go and update my diary, though nothing much of interest to add.

    Thanks Diz, I don't really mind what the weather is going to be like over the weekend, the fact that there's no work is enough to put a smile on my face. Of course if the sun is shining then it's a bonus. I really envy you with the holidays you get. I absolutely hate going to work when the kids are off school.

    The holidays are certainly a bonus I have to admit.:D Sometimes it's tricky though with OH working nights and these mad lot making a racket but I've never been one to tiptoe around the house when he's sleeping. It's not their fault he works nights. He's used to it though. When I was young we couldn't make a noise when dad was in bed and it always felt like you were walking on eggshells. So now I suppose I'm the complete opposite.

    Well I'm having a pretty constructive day. Posted off 5 e-bay sales this morning, been into town and had a few odds and ends, cleaned the car, done 3 loads of washing and have logged on to find I've sold another 2 items so it'll back down the post office for me later.

    AM also going to pop to the supermarket to get a few things. I quite like having a day off work when the kids are in school :)
