feeling very pleased with myself - we have a free holiday!

feeling very pleased with myself today so thought I'd share it with u all.

As u know I dont work, not cos I'm lazy but we live in the middle of knowhere and I dont drive so its pretty much impossible for me to get a job and OH works he has a decent job so I'm a kept woman!

But I have worked all my life and am rubbish at doing nothing so to keep me busy I sell stuff on Ebay. I am a total shopaholic so most of its my own stuff but sometimes the odd thing I get from the boot sale for a £1 or 50p, as long as its new I dont mind selling it to add to the funds!

Anyway my target was to raise £500 to pay for our holiday to Budapest in a few weeks so I can feel like I contribute. well I listed tons of stuff last week and I have made £700!!!! I am so chuffed we are gonna have a fantastic holiday now without worrying about wot we spend.

Does get me though what some people bid, I had a pair on Monsoon linen trousers I'd worn em a couple of times but they were too long for me and I stuck em on starting at £3.99...they just sold for £30.51!!!! I nearly wet myself as the bidding was goin up and up lmao

So thats me in a great mood just need to lose a stone and it will be the perfect holiday lol
