2018 Benbenandme's Next Battle

£33 profit from another offer I'd forgotten about

My Mum gave me £100 for Christmas, I've managed to avoid the sales and not spent any of it, and haven't found anything I urgently need, therefore I've decided to put it in the holiday fund as that way it will get spent on something I really want

16 items listed on ebay today, nothing of any real value, almost all items that have been on there before or boxes up in the garage, but at least now they might sell and generate a few pennies and some space for me

On a roll again

And another new bookie joined and another qualifying bet done. I've really enjoyed getting back in to the betting this last week or so, and Christmas was the perfect time to do so as there is so much football on over Xmas / New Year. I'm really not wanting to go back to work, I much prefer being off and making money

Morning all, up at 9 today, even that was a struggle, not sure how I'm going to manage tomorrow morning back to work

Veg is prepped for dinner, ds has had his bath, Swagbucks goal has been reached, we've got a little list of bits and pieces to get done today, hopefully this morning, then we can chill for the last bit of the holiday

So today that horrible anxious feeling has been back. I know it's because I'm back at work tomorrow and I hate it there. I will be counting down the days, trying to get ds through as many as possible before GCSE's without too many meltdowns. I know he's already stressing about them. He gets his mocks results next week, hopefully he'll cope okay with that.

Tonight Mr S has got in touch via facebook (remember him?!). I was civil but kept the chat purely to football. I don't want to meet up or anything so didn't keep the conversation going too long.

Other than that it has been a bit of a nothing day. We've been to the tip and cleared all the stuff that was building up by the rubbish bins. I did go in the garage today and opened a drawer to look for something and there was a huge pile of mouse droppings in there :eek: I realised I'd put the bag of mealworms that the hedgehogs have in there and they've been in and emptied the bag :eek: So, more clearing up there, couldn't see any signs of them anywhere else but may get some traps just in case.

Back to school tomorrow then. Not looking forward to it. Thank goodness we've got the cruise booked and can look forward to that instead. Usually I have a rubbish nights sleep before we go back to school, I'm hoping that won't be the case tonight, I've had a warm bath already and ot my stuff out ready for the morning.

Hi,

since Christmas I've sat and read your whole diary - very impressed! Will definitely be following your diary. You've inspired me to start Swagbucking seriously, nearly made £10 already this month and its only 7th!

But what I really wanted to say was good luck for you and your DS today, first day back in work/school is never fun. Struggled to get my DD and DS out of bed this morning!
