    I'm really pleased you've had a great day at work. It compensates for having to be in on your birthday.
    Wow you got some good things there GR. I love the mowing of the lawn, I bet that was a nice surprise.
    Are you going to be having another surprise later on Gr?
    Work was good thanks. Took my mind off my tummy ache which has settled down a bit now.
    Maybe catch you later then hun. If not hope you have a lovely night.:D
    :beer: Here's a double Tia Maria for you hun.

    Morning all. Went to bed really early last night and J phoned me late and as a result I was still awake at 1.30 this morning. Look and feel like a wreck today but it put a smile on my face so I'm not complaining.

    I really must tell you all this as not only did it make me smile but it made me a bit jealous. As you all know I've listed my wedding dress on e-bay. I received a question about it last night and it said. Your wedding dress is really beautiful, would you object to selling it to a man? !!!!!! is that all about? I can't even think about it but it did make me laugh! Was a bit p'd off to think that a bloke can get into my wedding dress and I can't though :)

    On a more serious note - got lots of stuff ending on e-bay today so fingers crossed something will go. It's the stupid things people seem to buy, do you find that as well?

    Got another good day in work today as the witch is off, in fact she's off until next Wednesday and then I'm off on Wednesday so I won't see her until a week Thursday wayhay. Even though I'm doing double the workload (I've got to do hers as well when she's off) I'm less stressed because I'm working in a more comfortable atmosphere.

    Just going to help DD dress and then it's off to work. Catch you all later. Hope your feeling better Diz and Wendy, keep your chin up.

    GRx

    Hi GR...that was funny about the guy and your wedding dress, hey if it sells who cares eh? :D
    Hope you sell some more ebay stuff. I've sold another so added to sig.
    Glad all is ok with J. Sounds good.
    I bet you feel more relaxed at work these days. That's how it should be.
    Well I've had a strange day. Will update you all.

    Strage day, sounds intriguing!!!

    Still not quite sure how I feel about J just taking it day by day and seeing if our feelings grow. Have sold one thing on e-bay and made a massive £7 :) There's just one thing ending today and loads tomorrow. I hate it when you have watchers on an item and then they don't buy its really frustrating. The man didn't get back to me about the dress but it's ending in 2 days time so we'll wait and see. Would sell it to a donkey if it made me some money!

    Work is really busy but so calm its unbelievable. It'd like working in a different office.

    Hey GR, my BH and i have tried to sell her wedding dress on Ebay twice but with no luck, nearly sold it at a car boot about 6months ago but the Polish guy said niete or something to his missus at the crucial moment:mad: . We are going to try again soon, good luck with yours...

    Thanks Shadydaz, I'm hoping that the man will buy it off me. Don't really care who gets it as long as I get some cash for it :)

    Have done my meal plan for tomorrow;
    Lunch
    Ham & Coleslaw roll
    Tea
    Gammon steak

    I'm off to bed now as I've had 2 really late nights.

    Good morning all. Lovely weather here in Wales, for a change....

    Have just checked my online banking and the ex hubby has given me £5 extra this month. He's still about £100 short of what he's supposed to give me but I'll be grateful for the extra £5. I'm not going to count this in my challenge as I only want to count the money I've earned extra thru cashback and selling. Have just realised I;ve not paid my electricity bill and water rates, so going to get that sorted before I go to work this morning.

    Got some items ending on e-bay tonight, but to be honest with you I don't think there's going to be much interest but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    Hi GR hope your day was a good one. Beautiful weather isn't it? Too nice to be in work.
    I bet that extra £5 was a nice surprise. Hope you get some luck on the lottery too.
    Catch you later.
