    pigpen - absolutely! Much better to present them with a fait accompli. Did you manage to get out of doing the sewing then?

    I feel like doing something, but I think I'll probably have my work cut out doing a proper teaching job again, even if it's only two days! I'll concentrate on my French and Spanish.

    Hi everyone,

    Just to let you know that I've been so good this week (yes, I know it's only Tuesday!!) and have actually mopped the bathroom floor for the 1st time ever (!!) and cleaned all the grout off the walls that's been there for a year. Think you must al l be rubbing off on me. :)

    Now quick question for all of you who ebay (hope you can help...): I'm trying to sell stuff for the first time, and I've set it all out on Turbo Lister, but when I try and upoad to ebay it won't let me because it says that first I have to create a seller's account by submitting a valid credit/debit card. I have an ebay account on which I've bought loads of stuff, and a PayPal account with a card linked to it. I don't know what it is I need to do!!

    Help?!

    Evening all, just quickly checking in before i go to bed, i'm knackered.
    Thank you all for your kind wishes for DD, everything went fine, it only took 2 hours so not too bad. Will be able to bring her home tomorrow hopefully.

    Hope the tooth is feeling better Michelle, sounds like a very unpleasant experience.
