    The teachers said loads of lovely things about little jwil last night :j :j so pleased with him. He's super good at maths (does not take after me!) and reading (yay!) but needs some more practice with his writing. So we'll be doing lots of practicing at home.

    That's fantastic news, well done little one :j:j:j

    I sold another item yesterday :T That was taking up some space and has been hanging around for a while so pleased about that :D

    I did some listing for DH as well. One of his items was bid on almost immediately and has since doubled in price :T It's still got 9 days to go too. That's also a bulkier item :T

    Hey jwil - I've just spent the morning at work reading your diary. You;re doing so well in all aspects of life, don't give yourself a hard time about the anxiety. Make sure you have enough YOU TIME as well.
    With regards to Slimming W - have you come across Slimming Eats website and app? They have some brilliant recipes on there and so easy to do.
    I'll keep following and keep up what you're doing

    It tells you on ebay - since 2004 when I joined, I've made over £30k :eek: Some of that will be stuff I've sold for DH as he didn't have an account as early as me, and some is the kids stuff which they get the money for. It's a shame I had to use it to live on for so long, I could have cleared the debt!

    Hi anna, thank you :) I've heard of slimming eats, but it's not really on my radar. I will have a look, thank you! It's always nice to get new recipes, and easy is what i need!

    Do keep popping in :)

    I know it's amazing! Yes, it would be more with car boots, but we sell all the decent stuff on ebay so the car boot stuff gets sold for pennies. But there's a lot of that too, so it will all add up!
