    Perfect and as you say, free. Enjoy :)

    Thank you :)

    I have loved OITNB and need to rewatch from the beginning to get all their stories again. I would definitely put it on your watch list.

    I'm so glad you used it for time for you rather than time to firefight against the cleaning in the house. When I get time alone in the house it so exceedingly rare I run about doing as much cleaning as possible... hubby however sees it as time to relax and will be just watching the wrestling. So I'm sure your hubby wouldn't mind you relaxing.

    Hope your Ebay sales have all done well tonight and theres loads to go in the morning.

    I'm jealous of your bounce passes. I never seem to find anything like that that's age appropriate. Keep up the great work xxx

    I'll definitely put it on my watch list :)

    I'm guilty of trying to catch up with everything, I'm trying to make an effort to keep on top of things better so it's not so urgent.

    This is the first year I've had anything like the passes, I'm just going to have to start liking lots of places on fb and keep an eye out for similar offers. It makes such a difference knowing there's somewhere to go for 'free'.
    Glad you took some 'me time'. I found SW very up and down. You have to look at your overall progress rather than individual weeks - the trend....

    Thank you :) I do tend to have a loss, then a gain/maintain, then a loss, but the overall picture is downwards. However I do cheat too much and that is not helping at all!

    19 parcels posted today, most DH's but some mine :T :T I'll check fees etc and then see what I can transfer to the holiday pot.

    Got my smear test this morning :o At least I've been able to get it done easily while I'm off.

    Another pottering day planned afterwards.

    Off to brizzle-land today. Booked the coach as it's cheaper than the train then found out the motorway is closed. Hopefully it won't take too much longer!

    Finally cashed out on One Poll, spent the whole day yesterday refreshing for surveys as I needed 5p! One was there this morning. I don't know when they pay out, so I doubt it will arrive before I go away.

    Sold another item yesterday :T My sales have covered today's trip so happy about that.

    Cashed out on PA as well. It all helps!

    Thank you :)

    We had a fab day yesterday, catching up with family.

    Back to work today. Lots to do! A load more sold for DH last night, including a few bits that have been on for ages (one bulky) :T :T

    Sounds like hubby is selling lots. Is this usual standard or has he ramped it up for your ultimatum? It definitely sounds like he's clearing out. Hopefully you can claim another room back soon. And you might be able to get the Christmas decs down without risk of injury. Keep up the great work jwil! You sound so much happier xxx

    He goes through phases, it's a productive time at the moment, so I'll take that :D
