Petrol YIKES!

I just filled my car tonight and I managed to save myself 13c a litre! I use Premium Unleaded but the BP was out of that so I had to put in the Ultimate and it was 1.55 a litre (the normal petrol was $1.42). They were raising the price in half an hour to $1.55 for normal and $1.68 for Ultimate. The other servos in the area were already higher. $70 later and I walked out of there... Recently I priced bus fairs but never went any further - now I think I will. We will also consider walking to school and work. I am fortunate that I work a block away from where E's school is and we actually live on the same road too. However, it is a very long road and it is a good 40 - 50 minute walk. So it really depends on whether I want a longer sleep in or not as to whether we have time to walk! And in the colder weather I have to tell you that sleep wins! But a compromise could work - bus in the morning and walk in the arvo especially while it is not so hot. Better for the environment and better for my waistline too!!

I am considering having a garage sale. Have never had one before but we have stacks of "stuff" and I was going to just donate it because essentially I am a lazy person ;) but I realise I could make a few dollars that could go towards my vegie garden. I will also be starting with Ebay. Well, actually I have used Ebay a lot for work but never for personal things. It will be interesting to see if any of my things sell on there! For a while now I have considered selling my handmade goods on ebay but have been slightly put off because there is so much on there. You know what though - if you don't try you will never know! I design handmade wedding invitations for work (fairly basic ones because customers need to see that they can easily replicate them at home). My plan is that I could design more intricate ones for sale on ebay. Maybe this weekend I should sit down and do that and load them on to ebay and just see what happens!
