I didn't realise it was a brain disease I thought it was what happens when you have a weak pelvic floor

Morning Everyone

Having another Busy week here, but I'm getting stuff sorted out so things should start getting easier soon.

I managed to sign up to Qype, I'm on about £16.50 at the mo, gonna try and get stuck in today on them as I have no where to go today. I'm thinking of using this towards something for my mum at Xmas so this should keep me more money nuetral. Also got another £3 to put in the Teapot towards Xmas.

Missing Everyone and all the Chat, just don't seem to have 5 minutes to get online these days.

Hope Everyone has a nice Day

Morning all, I had a packet delivered yesterday and found it was a toy, cant remember what the name is but my daughter tells me they are really popular at the moment and come with some kind of collecting cards. It will do nicely for my Grandson 2's birthday in March. Funny thing is I dont know where the toy came from, there was no letter inside or anything, the franking on the front of the envelope was from the people who make the toys, The address label was just a thin strip of paper cut out with my name and address typed in one line. Probably some freebie I have forgotten about. Still I am not complaining.

I have finished my knitted dolls for Christmas presents so am trying to finish off the teddy for OH for Valentines day. I have been trying since yesterday to get some pics of the dolls up on the crafting threads but cant seem to get photobucket to work for me. Anyone know of another site I can use instead?

Having a terrible time - had my wisdom teeth taken out and I got an infection in one and it's hurting bad.

Money saving wise though I've been doing lots of surveys in the night through not being able to sleep! I've accrued quite a few tesco points lately as I shop online with them anyway and there was a 1,000 points offer thing I got e-mailed so I'll be putting that towards money neutral. Husband helped someone take a load of stuff to the skip but there were some good items- like hair clips and kids things still in their packaging so he asked if he could have them for his daughter - but I've stashed some aside for people's presents. There was also a broken mobile in the bag that I still might get some money for if I send it to envirophone along with two of ours. I have a load of stuff to ebay but am unsure whether to try that magpie site or try and sell them seperate on ebay, it would take loads of envelopes (unless - I wrap them in black bag make sure it's well sealed and stick a label on it - now there's a thought) How much do you think it is to post a dvd or a cd? I might put the popular titles on ebay and the rest on magpie or I'll be on forever. Got to get to Game as well to trade in a ds game - can get £20 gift card for it that I'm going to give to my FIL.

Having a lovely money neutral time so far.

Looking forward to: Car boots starting again
Lost starting soon...

Poor you Scattyman, I had my wisdom teeth out years ago, and they had to smash them up in the gum to get them out, I still get pieces of tooth that work their way out nearly 20 years on, I sympathise, it's miserable.

I sold a lot of CD's om Musicmagpie over the weekend and we had a lot that they wouldn't buy because they had too much stock (Elton John, WHAM, Oasis, Pink, to name a few), the ones that sold best were either slightly obscure (Australian import CD's a friend of out used to work at Sony Australia and used to send us them, or the "oldies", Beatles, Nat King Cole, Nina Simone).

I would think postage for a CD would be around 95p (2nd) or £1.14 (1st), because you would have to send it as a "packet" due to the thickness of CD's. If I sell something, I use Royal Mail's online postage, you just put the weight, work out the dimensions and choose envelope, large envelope or packet and then add the address and stick it on! Saves lots of trips to the post office.
