Sounds like a plan Beanie
I always feel quite young in the first half of any decade, it's the 2nd half I'm not keen on. :rotfl: x
'tis true.

I keep telling the smalls this year is my last birthday! I said it last year too :rotfl: 29 feels a lot older than 28!
Well done on the Listing tea, it becomes addictive I love it

Don't forget you're 'sticking' at 55 though Beanie so you'll never know what it feels like to be 56 :rotfl:
Oh to be 29 again Wannabe or 39 or 49 for that matter :cool: Think I tried hubby's patience with the Ebay malarkey but I got there in the end.
Had to smile at your DC's designing their birthday cakes. I can remember spending ages drawing my wedding dress and wedding cake when I was little.0 -

Off out to church in a few mins but will be back later to update my end of week totals. Have a couple of jobs to do this afternoon. A bit of wrapping up for the post office, some ironing, dog walking and a couple of jobs in the house. I lead such a mundane life really.The highlight of my day will be Call The Midwife tonight. :rotfl:
Enjoy your Sunday. x0 -

Day 20/31, 12 NSD's, Prolific £2.80 cleared, £0 pending, Cash £25.50* for 14-20th January.
Just done a count up and this week I've spent £13.50. £10 on a top, £2.50 on a birthday gift and £1 on a bar of chocolate. Which means that instead of £25.50* that I've mistakenly copied all week I actually have £26.50 left over
Tomorrow I get my final £30 of the month which has got to see me through 10 days. Can't see that being a problem but there are a few things I know I need to buy so I'm not adding anything to my pots this week. That means I'll be starting with £56.50 but I'm hoping I'll be able to add at least £25 of that to the pots/CC towards the end of the month.0 -
You've done so well with the pots and keeping track

Thanks Wannabe and Beanie. Holding myself accountable by coming on here definitely helps, even if my maths isn't always up to scratch. :cool:
DD and I went to see a show last year and had a brilliant evening so we made a pact that we'd do it once a year. We've had a discussion this weekend and have decided we're going to go and see The Book of Mormon. I'm booking the tickets tomorrow, borrowing the money off myself and paying it back over the next few weeks, it's not until summer so plenty of time to save up. So, I need to add a new pot to my list tomorrow. Think it's going to be quite a spendy day looking at my list, but all nice things so I don't mind. x0
