  • Pigsback clicks, a few more Ebay listings, washing out on the line (although I do that anyway since I got rid of my tumble dryer), wrap my Ebay parcels in some wallpaper cuts so that recipient gets nicely decorated parcel and I can do a bit of recycling...................
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

  • I have:

    Sold a luminous pink scooter on ebay for £350 - collected this morning & paid cash.
    Am in the process of selling all my old Barbie stuff on ebay - got a bid for £10 for a suitcase full of shoes and clothes up to now.
    Have hoovered the stairs and landing and tidied the lounge.
    Hung some washing out
    Hoovered my car out and cleaned the windows with my own mix of cornflour and water so they sparkle!

    And now....I have sat down with a brew to have a wander through here for a bit until my OH comes home from work.
    ;)I am not a complete idiot - some parts are missing;)


  • Sorted out & priced up loads of books, video's, dvd's and cd's for my sister to take to the carboot tomorrow.

    Afternoon all,

    DH sold his car yesterday (at last), so:
    Paid off c/c :j
    Paid final £200 back to his sister :j
    Changed insurance over to new car & don't have to pay for the rest of the policy (next 2 months) :j
    Bought a new washing machine with left over money - old one is knackered and not spinning properly. New one is an extra 500 spin and A grade efficiency, so much better. Plus got £100 knocked off, as display model :j
    Done all my clicks, surveys and entered as many competitions as possible.
    Sold dvd on ebay and posted off.
    Hope you all have a good day x
