    sold loads on e bay now have £60 in paypal got to deduct £15 postage costs but i am please as it was all stuff i was given of finished with. the shorts sold for £8.50 in the end with £1.50 postage and packing so that was ace.. my bank balance is not looking too good but that is because i took the buffer money that i don;t go into out into the savings looks scary but it is fine. also lots of betting money went out and not much has made it back in yet,

    Hi ladies, Just wanted to say I've just read all the posts on this thread and it's been such a help to me!
    I've just this week started on my DFW journey, I'm about to move house (sold mine, moving into rented) so will pay off a credit card then but will still have some debts.
    However with all the fab stories on this site i've been full of inspiration and have hardly spent this week (only £2 today) - sold on ebay £83 in paypal right now), joined Quidco (£23 there so far)but no luck on bingo at all!
    I am starting to dislike parting with my cash (beofre, I loved it!) - I even texted my daughter as they were coming back from a couple of days away with their dad and asked her to get him to buy me a newspaper (save me hahahah) - so result a free paper today!!!!!

    Anyway, going to tear myself away from this site and get an early-ish nite, been on here most of the week, reading!

    Hope you don't mind me jumping in on your thread but reading all the diary posts have been such a help to me;)

    Bye

    Morning All :hello:

    Cats let me have another lie in (well sort of they woke up at 5am demanding food, so i fed them and went back to bed! :p ).

    I have absolutely nowt planned today, may ring my sister in a bit and see if she fancies lunch.

    2 of my items have bids on ebay, so i will be getting at least £10 when they end! :j (not for a few days yet).

    Just done a survey on homeofreasearch.com, and now off to pigsback to do some clicks.

    Morning all!
    Well I'm going into town with the girls today (I have 2 of 11 and 9) - and I aim to not spend anything, maybe an ice cream for them though! They have Waterstone's vouchers to spend and exchanging some M+S clothes the youngest got for her bday, so we should come home with bags of shopping but no spending!!
    I've written a list of things to do later - get more on ebay/amazon, parcel up stuff to post tomorrow and try do more packing for my house move in 2/3 weeks!!
    Bye for now!
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    I work part time in an art and craft supply shop and then have my own business hand making and selling wedding jewellery, some months i can get a few hundred quid and then nothing for 3 months , usually makes up to about 3/4 of a full time job in total. have been doing it for a year so far and supply 3 wedding shops in my local area.

    looks like you all are going to have a no/low spend day good luck!
