i listed 6 books on amazon marketplace, and am planning to go through the dvd collection and list a couple of those as well.
if the books all sell, i'm up about 18 quid, which isn't bad for 15 minutes work0 -
mum had a stroke and we are still trying to sort out proper care for her as she can't walk properly or get up from her chair. So that's not a good way to start 2009.
Good luck and hugs to you and your family. My nan has had a couple of strokes. Her memory is shot due to the last one, but she has not lost the ability to swear!!! - the body is amazing, it will get better.
Take care
