    Great that you managed to turn that hostess trolley purchase into a huge profit!

    I brought a coat at a bootsale back in the summer, paid £1 for it as it had a mark on it. Got it home, cleaned it up, good as new, wore it a few times but it just didn't sit right across my shoulders so I gave it another wash, listed it as a BIN for £15 on the bay and sold it within an hour :)

    It's lovely isn't it Pooky, easy money :money:

    This morning I have done an event with my cards at a pre-school blue light open day. It was okay, just three hours, quite busy but people were there to see the fire engines and ambulances rather than to shop :D I took £20 so not the end of the world, it all helps :)

    This afternoon is a pottering housework one, with some FA cup footie thrown in. Bournemouth aren't playing today so I don't have that stress :D

    I also need to get my tax return done this weekend :(

    Ah hello weekend, I've found you again :D

    We've only had a little bit of snow down here, today was an inset day, we were hoping it would be snowed off but it was not to be. We did get to finish at 2 though so that was nice :) I've come home and had a hot bath and put my pj's on, I'm not planning on going anywhere again today so it's chilling time in my house ;)

    This weekend should be quite a lazy one, nothing major planned other than the car having its MOT tomorrow.

    Dishwasher has been emptied, rubbish taken out and the washing machine is on.

    Yesterday was payday so that means I can move some money over to the savings pots. I need to check all the banking is sorted ready for the new month ahead, I might do that tonight.

    Car has had its MOT today and has passed :beer: Very happy as that means the car maintenance find can continue to build without being raided :D

    This morning I have done some washing, cleaned the bathroom, kitchen, my bedroom and the lounge, I've hoovered through. The dishwasher is on again, the banking is under way and the footie is on. I've been to the shops and got a few bits for dinner tonight (haddock fishcakes and chips) and now it's blanket on the sofa time :)

    This morning I have been and done the food shopping, £52 and £10 for a new slow cooker (the flex on mine had worn through). I've also taken some stuff to the tip.

    Now to start thinking about prepping dinner and then some pottering around to be done :)
