Well it has been a couple of weeks of ups and downs. I'm pleased to type that this week has been an up. Ebay reinstated on Sunday, still not got the normal sales but hopefully that will come.
The best news of all (saved till last) is that we've managed to exchange today. The seller wanted a longer completion time and the estate agent is helping him sort out new accommodation as he's moving into rented. The deal is done!!
There's light at the end of the tunnel!
Also in naughty, non money saving we've booked 3 nights away in Ibiza. We looked at staying in the UK but couldn't find anywhere and it was nearly the same price! The only problem is all my summer stuff is in storage so I'll have to have a furtle to try and find it.
Meeting friends for a meal tomorrow night so it could end up messy!

Todays fun filled day is to go to my friends who is looking after all our worldly belongings and see if I can find my box of shoes so I have some sandals to take with me.
Had a lovely evening last night, out for a meal with said friend above and her hubby. She is doing me a favour and having the dogs on Thursday we fly, until DD1 comes home later that day and she'll get them from hers. DD1 is away milking cows for 3 weeks.
DD2 is just getting over covid and has tested clear yesterday. DS2 and OH have gone to mend somebody's fence.
