Sold my Tommy & Kate bag on e-bay for £15.09. Yee-ha. Used the bugger once and has been sitting around the house for about 2 years so glad to see it shifted.
Didn't sell my Eeyore, colouring book & pencils or my slippers. Can't win them all. But I've made about £35 from stuff I probably would've chucked out anyway.
What else, my blog birthday on Sunday so will have to upgrade to some fancy graphics I think to celebrate.
Erm....feeling a little 
@ Sunday, 06. Jul, 2008 – 18:24:46
Just watched The Omen & The Exorcist for the first time today. I snoozed. 
Failing miserably in my surviving on £10 a week thingy. Had to buy some pain killers at £3.99 and a prescription for my inhaler - NHS now charging £7.10 
I also went round the shops whilst the boys had their suit fitting for the wedding. They arsed around (including dad-in-law-to-be, in fact he was worse) which annoyed me greatly. I resisted buying anything (wavered at the box set of Dexter at £27 - but only because I knew it was a tenner cheaper on Amazon).
Must go and make gravy for our tea.

Don't know if this counts as a fail but I had to crack out the credit card tonight to buy a new hot water bottle. It was only £15.85 and was essential because my old one leaked hot boiling water all over my now scalded left thigh.
I think this is fine. Something always crops up each month, usually a birthday or car -tax or wanting that LBD from Asos, so as long as I don't buy anything other than food and pay my bills I think I can continue with my £10 a week thing.
ps - I bloody posted this entry in tellyaddicts group by mistake - what an arse!!!
@ Sunday, 29. Jun, 2008 – 20:05:04
This month is 'cheap month.'
Because I don't have any children to worry about I tend to spend money as if I'm an heiress. I reason that, due to my childless status - which could change within the next couple of years - I can spend my money willfully and freely like I'm a student with my first grant installment. I may as well get it out of the way before the rug-rats decide to make an appearance.
The last few months I have been quite happily spending but, now that the fellas 30th is out of the way I think I should stop for a couple of months at least and see if I can live on a budget. (I never lived on a budget when I was a student, so gawd knows how this will turn out). So, I have allocated £10 a week for essentials like choco and tram tickets and magazines. And that is it. I have had to stop going on the Topshop website and I immediately delete the emails I receive from Asos.com. Believe me, that has been hard. 
My week started on Tuesday with £14 in my pocket and I am happy to report that I have £3.21 left to do me until Tuesday. So, I've spent (just a little) over my allocated £10 for the week. I even resisted an evening out last night with friends. This is going well. Although, I still have to get my haircut for a wedding on the 1st Aug - I could always get one of their trainees to wreck do it.
As long as I don't socialize I think I may just achieve my goal.
Am off, there is a mini profiterole with my name on it.

Recommend posting to-do lists on blog - I felt under a bit of pressure there.
So, have done everything apart from the online wedding list - mainly because I can't decide between Next & Debenhams. If we went with Debs we get a £50 voucher as an incentive but I think their stuff is more expensive and not as nice as Next?? Can't decide so am waiting for the fella to come home......then he can choose.
I'll email the vicar some other time when I know what I want to say to him! And the marriage licence can wait - as long as its in 6 weeks before the wedding day then I think we're set.
Chicken Chasseur for tea tonight. Oh yeah!!!
and another thing - ladies if you're after a Tommy & Kate handbag (just like new) I've put one on ebay - it's a right bargain (as well as some coloring pencils, slippers and an eeyore)
@ Friday, 27. Jun, 2008 – 12:36:26
Have quite a lot to do but can't be bothered.
The wedding is a mere 5 months away and I've still got heaps to do. Trying to find a cheap batch of RSVP cards is proving difficult. You can get a batch of 5 for about a tenner in WH Smiths - what good is 5 to some-one who is asking about 70 people to attend?? Useless. Some-one suggested Tesco's but, considering we got lost trying to find our 'local' Tesco's I don't know if its worth it. No, sod it, I think we'll have to venture outback again to get these bloody wee cards.
I'll make a list. That way, I'll be obliged to my conscience to do these things this afternoon. In fact, second thoughts - I'll have to make 2 lists with a seperate one for wedding garbage.
Wedding Garbage
1 - Set up a wedding list on t'internet
2 - Order in some shoes to go with me wedding dress (need them for my next fitting in Aug) DONE
3 - Source those damn RSVP cards (which means emailing a friend - her's were just what I'm after) DONE
4 - Should really email the vicar just to keep in touch.
5 - Post the wedding licence forms off
There are other things but I think that's enough for today.
T'other List
1 - Bunch of stuff to go on ebay - DONE
2 - Dishes (might do that once I've blogged actually) - DONE
3 - Decide when I'm going home again and look at flight costs DONE
4 - Hang washing up & re-load the washer - DONE
Oh, and the anxiety has gone. 
EDIT - CHRIST ITS 3:22PM AND IVE HARDLY DONE ANYTHING
@ Wednesday, 18. Jun, 2008 – 19:42:51
Successful apple pie & cream (and bloody lighted candles!!) event this morning.
I was that excited I had to poo 3 times before I presented him with it (sorry but it's true) 
Had to wake him up so he was all sleepy (and looked all lovely and snuggly), but I think he was delighted. Blew his candles out - only 3 representing each decade - so there was enough fuel for that many candles Ellie 
10 seconds later the pie was back in the fridge and the fella was lightly snoring. Ah a success I think.
ps - just had a quick bite of his pie now (THE APPLE PIE THAT IS RUDE BLOGGERS!!) and I almost threw up - now I remember why I can't stand apple pie.
