TEN months and counting...

Huge list of things to do today and I just can't get started. I will stick the stuff on ebay too!
Meeting friend for coffee later but secretly hoping the weather picks up again so I can talk her into a can of something fizzy at the beach instead of the £3 a go coffees!

Well I haven't done the ebaying yet but I've tidied like a woman possessed - even hoovered the car!
Only spent £2 in town so not too bad on the money front but obviously some ebaying will help.

Thanks Bunny, stole the idea from the Special Occasions and Celebrations board - there's some great ideas there that look fab and don't cost much! DS loved helping and even managed not to eat any of the sweeties!

Fancy coming round my place and sorting our house out! I now have not only the normal junk/mess to deal with but boxes of stuff that went unsold at car boot today! That after giving 3 bin bags worth to the charity shop!:rotfl:

£40 roughly after entrance fee, better than the person to the right, half of what the person to the left made.... Can't even completely blame it on the pitch! I'd recommend being one of the first to arrive we were in the second row and I think people got bored coming that far. There was a third row I think they did even worse....

My experience don't bother with books, dvds but do try jewellery and bigger items. I was told clothes sell well, I sold a few of the obviously pretty and summery things but not general stuff.... My paste table collapsed within 10 mins which didn't help... :rotfl: you might want to check your tables are sturdy enough before you begin! People were very interested in musical instruments, big kids toys etc.

That's not too bad, I've done a few but not for a while. One of my friends is supposed to be doing one with me but she keeps putting it off. I usually borrow my dad's pasting table - have never borrowed it for decorating just car booting!

OK, here are today's aims:

1. [strike]change bed [/strike]and tidy in DS's room
2. [strike]buy pressies for mum and dad[/strike]
3. EBAY - you can tell how much I love this by the fact I tidied my room yesterday, also the lounge and the bathroom rather than do it.
4. Get stuff ready for work tomorrow.:(

getting there...

My lounge is still there ready and waiting for someone to clean it up! I have made 3 hamper/boxes for present giving later in the year and prepared a vase for MIL with flowers from the garden and a ribbon I already had. Looks fab.... wouldn't have thought of doing it normally - would have just got shop bought... At least she should be able to tell I made the effort.

Another bit of good news.... I've got some more ripe raspberries in the garden.... delicious!
