Just done a quick budget and not great but could be worse. Hopefully someone will buy the car on ebay today well place a winning bid at least. Got three at the moment but all look way too low. I really dont want to go as low as 2000 but may have too.
Both toilets broke so called out repairs guy last night which in the end didnt manage to fix either so been using the camping loo. Hopefully that will be sorted today but I feel the HA will pass bill to us for wear and tear.
Shopping needs doing and have £41.53 left for the month (week really payday 25th) should be doable. need to start list now actually while Im thinking about it.
Still finding it really tough to stay positive OH very down and I want to just shout at him because hes making me feel low. I know its not his fault hes having a bad time too. Gave him a shoulder rub last night so hope that helped. I just wanted to curl up in a ball when the second loo went. Oh and cavalier needs a new key fob circa £50!
Off to London tomorrow most cost will be expenses so can claim that back. Hope you have fun tonight ISOM isnt it ND tonight?
Hope work is ok today GR as Dizzy said on your thread try standing up to witch she may back down. Hope you all have a great day and ebay goes amazingly well for all of us!:j0 -

Wendy please don't give up on ebay. Go on advanced search type in cake decorating book and tick completed listings and then search. Just have a look at how cake decorating books sell. When you go on your car boots you can pick up some of these for pence and then put them on ebay. You'll sell them for sure and will give you a little boost.
Hope you're okay hun.

HI Wendy. Sorry the car is still a prob for you. Followed your advice and went on AutoTrader and thankfully we sold to a very nice chap. Trouble is we paid for 3 weeks worth of advertising and felt a bit miffed about all the money we paid but hey ho. Hope you come up trumps soon. We took a drop on our asking price but it was worth it to free up the driveway.
Haven't read your diary for a few days but you seem to be keeping very busy and involved with lots of stuff - good for you. Take care.0 -
Thanks Dizzy Ive been trying to avoid going around the carboots to not spend money! If I get the chance I ll try your tip on Sunday.
Angela Im really glad you sold your car. Ive dropped my price from £2595 to £2249 including having to add another £100 tax on. Have been offered £2000 without tax which I really dont want to take but may have to if anyone else offers the same. If I had known how much hassle this was and how much the Cavalier was going to cost in such a short space of time I wouldnt have bothered.
Hopefully if I try and forget for a while we may have more luck.:j0 -
