I love having the car! FREEDOM!

I only learnt this morning that Jared isn't on placement this week so i get the car for an extra day. Yippeeee! All i had to do was take him to the bus station instead of losing the car for the whole day. I wanted to check out the Littlewoods Clearance again to do a proper search. So i packed a bag of crisps, got Ethan into the car, packed up my little pram and went. I bought so much more stuff too, Fearne Cotton Jeans, a couple of dresses, skirts and tops. I love it! Generally within 3 months I've sold everything and made a fair bit of money. All my Christmas present's so far have been bought out of my ebay money. I definately recommend it if you are buying something really cheap and it's a well known brand. The jeans i bought (pictured below) were bid on within 2 hours of me putting it up. Loves it!


I was able to carry the little pram up the stairs, so no fussing from the 'ealth and safety inspector. Esme and Cassie were planning on going to the Outlet in Ebbw Vale so i was going to meet them there - unfortunatly i over estimated Ethan's tolerance level of sitting in the pram so i wasn't able to meet with the Wheelies. I did manage to find another few bargains to sell :) And i bought a Christmas present for Jared. So all in all, a good day!

I got dinner on before I picked Jared up so i could get on with ebaying. It took the whole night to get everything i bought up on ebay. Jared was good to just let me get on with it while he took care of Ethan. It was nearing 9.30 by the time i finished so just enough time to work out before bed.

Unexpected bargains! LOVES IT!

I have a mega busy day ahead of me. It's one of those days where i have to make a list for everything i have to do! Manic! I dropped Jared off at the bus station and came home to finish getting ready for the day. After all that, Ethan and i went into town.

I had to get Jared some stationary for his Uni first from Tesco (Everyday i have a task from him!) and then took Ethan to get his hair cut. I usually go to John Headington's shop as i like the walk in style - i am rubbish for booking ahead. Ethan HATES having his haircut but i must say he did considerably better than last time. It wasn't till the very end that i had to hold his hands and head. I love it when his hair is freshly cut, look how handsome he is;


As we came from the shop Ethan was sobbing. I haven't even taken him to the dentist yet - what will he be like for that?! I had some eBay packages to drop off so i did them at the post office. It feels like it's never ending! I hate it when a person doesn't pay for ages resulting in several trips to the post office. I always have a pang of worry when I'm paying for it to be sent, thinking, 'are they going to leave me negative?' I have got my feedback score to 442 with only 1 neutral which eBay withdrew. I wonder who will be the buyer to ruin that? Anyway..

I bought Ethan a little bag of sweets for being a good boy in the hairdressers while i bought a quarter of lemon bon bons. Let's just say the little bag of sweets were not touched! Cheeky Ethan wanted mine! As we were walking back to the car i noticed that Littlewoods Clearance store were doing a big sale on the first floor. They don't have a lift in the store and i had Ethan in the pram so i asked an assistant if i could leave it at the foot of the stairs while i had a look. It was like she was doing a health and safety examination?! She ummed and arred for a good 2 minutes! Flip woman! IT'S A PRAM! Thankfully i was granted special permissions..phew. When i got upstairs i couldn't believe the prices. Everything was £2! I didn't really have much chance to go through the rails as Ethan was loose so i only picked up a few items, vowing to come back tomorrow with the small pram.

When we got back to the car i nipped home and put what i had bought straight on ebay then drove to the Littlewoods Clearance next door to Morrisons in Ebbw Vale to check their deals. Bit of a waste as i only came away with one dress and the woman behind the desk moved at a glacial pace. And half way to getting there, Jared called to say he was at Merthyr Bus Station. Gutting! I need to befriend a person in each store and get them to text me when a killer deal comes in OR make someone i know work there. Haha. I had to hurry back for Jared - he had been waiting a while and wasn't too happy. Sorry babes!

When we got home i had to get dinner on before heading down the Church for the Missionary meeting. I couldn't find them any where in the building and just as i was about to leave, I saw Eldo who pointed me in the right direction. Good job too, better late than never! Glen was trying to make a movie to be handed out during the Panto week and asked me to be in it. I had to say no - i hate being on camera! On the way home i popped into Esme's to say hello the Cassie Wattsian! I stayed for a bit. Man i love those girls. I feel like when we are together it's like I'm 17 again, they had me in proper full on stitches. Hahahaha! I couldn't stay long because Jared has football to go to.

I did some blogging before going to bed!
