  • Well i am so bloated i look like i am ready to give birth again!!!!:eek: Have still got my stomach cramps but they are manageable, still did my 12 hour shift, need the pennies!!!!!! My god it has been so hard not to eat toast or any bread at all today. I have to make and feed my residents with breakfast and the smell of toast just makes me hungary!!!! why is it when you cant have something it makes you want it so much more!!!!!

    Well kiddies are still going to the childminders tomorrow even though i am not working, dont feel too guilty as they are going to a new play area that does playgroups..........first the bigger ones get to play whilst the babies and littlies do baby yoga and other activities then they get to play whilst the bigger ones have their play group. both my boys love it and its already paid for (she includes money for activities in the bill). This means i have a good few hours to try and get as much listed on turbolister and try and tackle my ironing pile!!!!! busy morning for me!!!!!

    The smell of toast makes me so hungry too hun!! Think its just one of those food smells!!! (like fish & chips!)

    As for your snail - well he may just be starting off, but if you check out your above ticker hun, you're well on your 2009 target - that's brilliant!!!

    Hope you get all your listings done! And someone said to me about clothes on ebay - you can get bags of kids clothes off some people? Not sure how you feel about that - but the lady at my work got some for her kid and was quite happy! They grow out of them so quick I think some items only get worn a few times!!

  • Hello peeps, how are you all today?

    Well, the kiddies have been shipped off to the childminders. The house is way to quiet............................... they are being dropped off just before 3pm so loads of time.


    My plan for that time is:
    • quick hoover (the whole house), polish and clean the bathroom
    • washing hokey cokey (weather really hot here today so will dry in no time outside)
    • sort through ebay bags and my wardrobe and photo
    • load photos onto photo bucket so ebay wont charge me for the upload
    • get listing on turbolister
    • if i have time, start tackling my ironing mountain
    think i have plenty to sell in my wardrobe that doesnt fit anymore.

    Hey little emms, have already bought several items for ds2 on ebay, its quite addictive and bad for my bank balance!!!!! did start out looking for research purposes:o but have found that bundles seem to be selling more than single items so will have a look at what i have stashed away.

    done my scratcheez for today (pants that tab put the money into the bonus pot for you to play bingo with as i never ever win!!!:mad:) so going to make a brew and get down to some housework and find where i have hidden my motivation for ebay!!! (what is it about listing that makes you favour having your eyelashes pulled out?!?!?!or something equally as painful!)

  • O,k its 12pm and time to update.

    well out of my list above i have had a brew, washing on line and next load in and hoovered downstairs....................and thats it!!!!!!!:o:o:o

    Whilst hanging my washing out i noticed my little seedlings were getting big so have spent the morning in the garden repotting and nurturing my seedlings!!!!:o also planted some different lettuce seeds and my carrot and onion seeds.......

    The sun is blazing and it just seems too nice and a shame to spend it indoors listing. am resisting the urge to go and cut the grass as i know that is just putting off listing (and its my fellas job) and i have 3 hours left in which to list as much as possible!!!! arghhhhhhhh, its just like when you know you need to do an essay to hand in or something and all the other jobs that you normally hate just look so much more appealing!!!!!
