    Thanks teafor2. Wannabe is usually right about these things. I’ve just listed 3 things which I hope should raise about £20 but we’ll see.

    I'm not right :o I just know how much I worry and would rather get it done now. I'm not very patient and would worry myself crazy (more than I already do)

    If you list tomorrow for 10 days it will end on a weekend and it will the end of the month for payday for people too. It will have maximum time to gain interest too. I always find things ending on a weekend sell better

    I’ve started my UC claim, just working my way through. Have a bid already on one thing £6.99 so that’s good!

    I’ve take antibacterial spray off my shpppng list as I had a brain wave and put some disinfectant floor cleaner watered down in it. I’m assuming it must do a similar thing?!

    In answer to your earlier question wannabe yes BF will help out if needed but he bails me out so so often it’s not fair and I really want to rise to this challenge. Obv if it meant the difference between starving and eating I would, but if I can do it on my own I will!

    BF has come home with marmite, more milk and DW tabs out of his own money so I will take them off my list and fill them with other things we need! Going to try my best to go shopping tomorrow as couldn’t go today.

    Ahh thats nice of him and hopefully makes it a little easier. Well done on the UC claim. Don't forget to ask for the advance if you need it.

    Good news on the eBay too

    !!!!!! May is back being sick! Seriously! Poor girl she’s got a really high temp now too. So I guess I’m on house arrest again?!

    Just going to calm myself by reading beanielou and teafor2s diaries.

    Oh no. It's like ping pong sometimes with sick children isn't it, just keeps passing from one to the other. Are you feeling any better in yourself, apart from obvious lack of sleep.:(

    Good news about Ebay and BF sounds a star. Not many would think of dishwasher tablets - unless he knew it was his turn to wash up of course. :rotfl:

    I went through a phase of buying different cleaning products for different things but the clutter in the sink unit drove me mad and I just think it's all a marketing ploy at the end of the day. My cleaning stuff now consists of a bottle of bleach and a bleach spray which I use in the kitchen, bathroom and on floors. I'm sure your watered down disinfectant will be fine.

    Hope May's sickness is just having a final hurrah and then it's all done with. x

    I use bleach and sterilising fluid. I don't buy anything else

    Hope the sickness bug leaves you all as soon as possible.

    Have had to break the news to BF that despite working everyday this week as well as tomorrow he’s going to have to do my shift tonight. Although he’d been there all Morning getting the coffee maker installed. I just feel really rubbish. Have awful churny tummy and have to keep running for a poo (tmi) just made Roo some toast and the smell made me retch. May is still in bed. Quite worried about her. I haven’t eaten anything, nor do I want to right now. Still haven’t been shopping obviously. Just wish I could feel better as I’ve got so much I could be doing at home.

    Sounds like you and the DC's are all having it really rough at the moment. Will it be a long shift for BF? If you can change who goes in easily enough maybe you could 'owe' him one for the future.

    Just watch for May getting dehydrated, her sickness has been going on for a few days now hasn't it? Hope that doesn't come across wrong :o x

    List on ebay now, there's plenty of people buying. Just seen you have.

    Cleaning stuff is all the same, it's just named differently.

    Hope you are all better soon x
