Ouch to tutor, but am sure its worth it. Hope you enjoy your time away, am sure you will x

Yep big ouch, but DD really struggles with maths and if she doesn't pass she will have to resit and she needs a good grade to get on the course she wants at college and would have to go on the lower grade course which would put her back a year.

Morning.

It's raining cats and dogs here so looks like I won't be pegging out, will just wash one load and put it to dry on the airer, trying so hard to not use tumble dryer.

I have a couple of ebay items ending this morning which currently have bids up to £10, few more items to list as well. Not much planned for today other than housework, DD was supposed to be going on a nice long ride on the beach but nit sure if she will want to go in this weather, must also ring friend for a catch up.
Taken sausages out of the freezer for tea which we will have with mash and veg, lunch is cheese toastie and fruit and breakfast is just cereal this morning, found some mince pies in the freezer so have taken those out to snack on.

Made £12 on ebay this morning and have listed 10 items.

Received £20 M&S gift card in the post this morning, which I will use to get milk, bread and maybe a meal deal if they are on this weekend.

Morning, bright sunshine this morning fingers crossed it lasts and isn't bucketing it down by the time the washer finishes.

£10 made over night on ebay and managed to get caught up with surveys yesterday so made a few more pennies.

DS is off out with friends today to a Theme park, I had told him I wasn't paying as I had just paid a huge amount for his school trip, anyway he decided to use some money that his Great Grandma had given him for Easter to pay for his ticket and his Dad has given him some money for lunch, he also has his allowance, think it is good for him to make choices about money and having to pay for things himself, I just need to drop him at his friends in an hour.
DD is at work today and is buzzing as she has just had a payrise and is wanting as many hours as possible during the holidays .
Couple of small spends today on fuel for car and need some milk and potatoes, making a cheesy leek and potato bake for tea, lunch will be whatever is lurking in the fridge or tinned tomato soup.
I also need to go and pick up prescription from chemist, but I get these free as they are cancer prevention drugs.

Have more bits to list on ebay this afternoon and bids are up to £25 on the things that are already listed, nothing finishing until the weekend so hopefully will make a bit more.

Morning, wow yesterdays weather was awesome, I managed to get 2 loads of washing dried on the line and I washed some wool jumpers which I dried on the airer outside, looks a little overcast this morning but hopefully will stay dry and I can pegout again.
Dropped DS off at his friends and then nipped to a1di and spent £4.48.

Managed to list another 6 items on ebay yesterday and bids are up to £40 and most items don't finish for another 3 days, there is a few BINs on as well which might give me some sales sooner.
Also redeemed £8 from a survey site.

This morning i'm off for my haircut, I know I probably shouldn't but it's messy and it makes me feel good, I have dyed it myself at home so at least i'm not paying for that.

Still eating out of the freezer, rst pork for tea tonight, lunch will be left over potato bake from last night or soup and breakfast is cereal, have done a meal plan for next week just need to write a shopping list.

Sounds like you are having a very productive week Penny. Don!!!8217;t feel guilty for getting your hair done, we all deserve to feel good and sometimes that far outweighs the cost of the haircut.

please-let-me-be-lucky

Happy new hair day Xx

pennywisepoundstupid

Morning. New haircut looks fab and she cut loads off so feels much lighter.

Apart from nipping to a friends this morning for coffee and a catch up not much happening, both children have been told to clean their rooms and DH is waiting in for someone picking up an item he sold on ebay, need to find something out of the freezer for tea as i'm not going shopping until tomorrow as DS has a football match and will be driving past supermarket.

Finances checked and £8 from survey site has hit paypa1, no sales on ebay or me but plenty of bids and watchers for things ending in a few days time, have a couple more bits to list this afternoon as well.
