Debt free living and looking to the future.

Afternoon, can't believe it has been so long since I lasted posted, life seems to have just got in the way.

Weekend away was wonderful, we ate lots, drank lots and had an amazing time sightseeing and just spending time together, bonus we also manage to come back with 50 euro, so they have been put away for the summer.

Managed to bag myself a bargain on ebay this week, I have been after a dresser/cabinet for ages as I have lots of bits of china and glassware that have been boxed up for over 10yrs as I had nowhere childproof/dogproof to display them and as always something else more important cropped up to spend money on. I spotted someone locally selling one on ebay but the pics were not brilliant and it just stated wood cabinet no other information except there was a couple of marks, so I though s*d it for £15 I will bid on, I won the cabinet and DH and DS went to collect it and brought it home. It is fantastic solid Oak not MDF like I though and the marks polished out with some wax I had, it looks amazing and matches all my other oak furniture beautifully, looks rather similar to this one.

Other wins this week have been at the charity shop, bought a beautiful Hobbs silk skirt that looks brand new, Per una white linen trouser and some lovely new F&F blue pumps all for £14.
Save £9 on a shop in sainsbugs and £10 off a £20 shop from abel and cole which reduced the food bill nicely, also picked up several bags of carrots reduced to 5p which I have turned into carrot and lentil soup and frozen.

£8 in Amazon voucher received so now have £13 towards new duvets.

Tomorrow i'm planning a mass listing spree on ebay to try and make some money for various goals .

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine. xxx

Good afternoon.

Weather is scorching today and is drying my washing brilliantly only downfall is the pile of ironing that is growing on the dining table, but it is far to warm to tackle it now, might do it early tomorrow morning.

Lots listed on ebay this morning, hopefully I will get a few sales to top up the pots.

Not much to update really as we are just having a quiet weekend at home,but does mean yesterday and today have been NSD. Might go to the garden centre tomorrow for some bedding plants.

Have a great weekend. x

Morning.

Wonderful bank holiday weekend over and back to work today. I spent most of yesterday in the garden planting bedding plants and tidying up, spent £73 in the garden centre :eek:, but garden does look very pretty now.

Sunshine seems to have disappeared so not going to hang washing out today, feels so much cooler as well, this is what I hate about this country all the random weather we get, I want to live somewhere where the sun shines constantly for at least 6 months of the year.
