    Me too, I'm loving it :D Just wish VB would smile - she has wealth, health, beautiful children, beautiful husband, a ticket to the wedding of the year and the most miserable face :(

    She does :(

    That wedding was stunning, I cried buckets. So happy that Harry has found someone who makes him so happy. What I'd give to have someone who looked at me the way he looks at Meghan :smileyhea:smileyhea

    I got up early today and went to a local car boot sale for a mooch, I bought a big raspberry bush for £3.50, a punnet of strawberries and one of raspberries for £2, and then 3 dresses, 2 from Whistles for £2 each (with labels still on) and one from Hobbs for £1. All will go on ebay as they won't fit me but hopefully will bring in a few pennies.

    I then went to a local town and did some job spotting and have just redeemed £10 from there.

    I need to take some stuff to the tip (opens at 10) then clean the car out, hoover through indoors and have another pottering kinda day :D I have managed to do nearly 7,000 steps already today so shouldn't struggle to reach my 10,000 target.

    I've got a £5 bid on one of the dresses already so that's my money recouped that I spent on the three of them, so hopefully I will make some profit on them :D

    I've done most of my 10,000 steps already today, had a nice beach walk before work this morning. Tonight will be homework, bath, dinner and not much else.

    Thankyou to the lovely person who used my shopmium referral code today :T Off to check the survey sites for any more that need completing today and I also need to do some swagbucking :)

    And a £5 bid on one of the other dresses too, so that's a 100% return on my investment already :D:D:D

    £5 cashed out from swagbucks, I went back to Amazon vouchers again as I've used all the ones I had (ds wanted something so I used my vouchers and he paid me back) :)

    And finally half-term is here, it's been a hell of a couple of days at work but now I get to rest :T

    Ds is at his grandparents for the weekend, I have very few plans, so am looking forward to just catching up with stuff mainly :)

    This morning I have been looking at the monthly banking stuff, I have £100 left until payday, I have enough petrol in the car but will need to get some food shopping.

    The dresses on ebay finish tomorrow, they're currently on £18 in total which is great as they cost me £5 :T :T
