Tin Ass Carla!!

thats what i feel like today, SUCH a tin ass! lol usually its Darryl who gets the freebies, the cheap things, the bargains, today its been me!! i should really be working (have a few things to research for the business) i have all relevant pages up on the screen, i just keep surfing blogs and trademe instead! lmao!

ok this morning i used the "buy now" on a change table for $30!!! usually they go for (that type) over $100! but the person was new to TM and didnt know what it would fetch, hehe yay for me! so we will go and pick that up on the weekend, considering i was thinking about $200 for a wooden one (this isnt wooden, but it will do!) $30 rocks! it does have some damage on the change pad, BUT i just accepted a fixed price offer on a gorgeous change pad, reserve was $35, i accepted the offer of $26, they retail for well over $60! and its immaculate and hardly been used! SCORE! so that is one more thing to get to tick off my list!so really, if you think about it, all up its $56 for a change table that will look lovely and should of cost me well over $100! veryyyyy happy!

30 Weeks today :) so very exciting! will try to get Darryl to take pics tonight, all depending on how late he gets home.

Back on July 31 i posted that the neighbours (remember the washing on the line going green for over 6 weeks?!) had a backpack on the washing line for over 2 weeks, well, guess what, its still there! the world is FULL of rather odd people! damn i hope they dont read this! (well hey, you never know!) but if they are, HI!! come over for a cuppa tea! i dont bite!

i have a confession, today, i have not stopped eating, lol and i havent really eaten anything healthy either, apart from a banana and a couple of oranges, i have had, wait for it, nearly 2L of chocolate milk (yes you did read that right!) a mince and cheese pie (and now i remember why i dont usually eat those!) chocolate yoghurt and a few timtams, triple choc fudge of course! now i dont know about you, but i blame baby, lol must be food that she is craving, yes unborn child, i blame you! lmao, oh and is it a contradiction that ive just brought the new Healthy Food Guide today too??? ahhhh dumb arse! i will SO pay tonight when im all bloated and bluch.

HUGE congratulations to A Mummy Losing It and Jodi on the births of their daughters, VERY cool! cant wait to see pics!!!! WELL DONE to you both!

Happy Trails..... :)

Great score, you really are the TradeMe queen!! We were looking at a few change tables with the baby bath combined in June/July and they were all around the $100 - $140 mark.

If I were you, I'd go put some little treasures in the back-pack and see if you can grow anything interesting!! I'm thinking homemade stink-bombs here (remember making them as kids - I think it was a piece of carrot in a film cannister and leave in a dark place for a couple of weeks??)
