    I've got 6 items listed and all ending in about 8 hours and for the first time ever I've not had one bid! :eek:

    I've got a really busy day so I'm not sure if I'm going to have time to list other items :mad:

    Hi mrscmr - he has severe cerebral palsy, epilepsy and some ...extras.
    He can become very ill rather quickly, and is non verbal so he cannot tell us if he is not feeling good.

    He goes to the hospice for 14 nights per year which means we can get some sleep:j, and a break from the caring side of things. He is going to the hospice from school for this week which we havent done before. I always feel terribly guilty when he is not here, but then dd has sleepovers and we try to look at these visits in the same way.

    Apart from that - he is a 6 year old toad - into fast cars and football and heaps of fun!

    Wish I could find my sewing box in all that ebay clutter!!!!:confused::rotfl:

    LHB, do you have to sew his name labels in? After years of sewing labels into everything and then finding them coming off, it was suggested to me to write my children's names on the labels in biro. Yes it does fade with washing but can then be rewritten again. A biro name would probably be fine for the 14 days he's away.
    Hope you both have a good rest.

    Now I have a quesiton about Amazon and CDs and I am too tired to even be bothered to do a mock-up entry. I see that lots of people put CDs on for 1p - how much would you make if the postage cost was 66p?

    Thank goodness the sun has finally come out...although I'm not looking forward to my roast beef dinner now.

    hi all!

    Hi Floxxie, and thanks for the tip. Im sewing partly because everthing is nuked in their washing machines, and partly because it makes me feel like a good mummy in doing it:A. I have always sewn the labels in, and its rather relaxing:confused:. He is in for 4 nights this time, and we taz round like mad things!!

    I dont list cds on amazon for under £1.40. My postage costs are 76p second class, and then 12p for a bubble envelope from poundland.
    I have a large box that come under that £1.40 price, and have decided to have a coffee morning, and sell them off to my friends for a £1 charity donation per cd. (I just need to tidy the house up from all that ebay stuff first:rotfl::rotfl:).

    Roast Beef......!

    Purpleroses, well done in your sale to Italy.

    I have listed 5 already - will list that box full of character dolls, then get back to that sewing!!
