Morning everyone

Sorry I have been quiet for a few days I have been keeping up to date with all the post but havent had anything to say.

Oooo I just thought of something...... I survived one of THE most horrendous spider attacks EVER :eek: yesterday. I have had worse though. I was helping my dad clear out all the old clothes and knick knacks in our loft to take to the charity shops yesterday and I was stood with my back to a wall and turned my head to the right and a dirty great big spider was right next to me, oh I nearly died, you should of heard the shriek I let out. I could tell it was trying to get over to me to make a nest in my hair. My dad picked it up and tried to throw it out the window cos he doesnt like to kill them but accidently crushed it which I was happier with cos I knew it couldnt get me then. I know some people dont like hurting spiders but I have a really irrational fear of them so I prefer them to be killed then thrown out


Well thats all I have to say for myself but Phwoooaaarrr Phwoooaaaarrr Phwoooaaarr My word that man is hot. I've never watched lost before but may have to start now.

Morning ladies hope you are all ok.

Sending big hugs to anyone who needs them.

Sylph keep your chin up Mrs, sending big hugs to you! xxxxx

Rainmac - Glad your boys seem better today, I knew they would be, just the thought of mommy eating all of their chocky must have put them on the road to recovery :rotfl: Good luck with the duplo

I am not feeling so guilty today I know she will love it and it will finish them off and I know I will be able to get most of my money back at the end of it when she has finished with them in 5 or so years :rotfl:

OH has gone out to help a friend at work today for a few pennies which is good, I need to book a courier for 2 things on ebay which sold (I hate people who tell me how much postage is when they clearly have no idea and have only paid 99p each for 2 items which RRP over £40 I mean how dare they! stop being so tight you have got a bargain!!!)
I have 2 washing baskets full of toys that I need to list still (wether I will get it done today or not I don't know)
I spoke to my mum last night and she has said she needs to ask for a collection at work for one of the girls and see if she can get a nappy cake ordered from me for my sis to take back home with her so it saves on postage so keeping my fingers crossed for that one

I also need to make a couple of easter cards with DS and cello up a couple of hampers!!

Right tea break over, I MUST get something done today ... or I could just keep getting distracted and not do anything! :j

Thanks for your help!
I love reading about everyone even though I don't post much as you are all so friendly - is it me or have some of the other boards been taken over by very uptight and quick to judge people. When I first joined MSE most people seemed to be pleased to help not judge but now it has changed - I used to go on the Boots one but even they seem to be shouting at one another now. Please don't get like that here!

Morning all!
Woke up feeling all wobbly headachy and sicky this morning so haven't gone to work.

Just a quick query for all you eBay experts:
Can I list items without pics and then go on and edit the listing and add them later?
The only place I can get photos on at the mo is from work and I don't want my items to end in the middle of the morning so am hoping to list them in the evening and then add pics the following day - will this work?

I agree about this thread being the friendliest and most helpful - I was originally posting on the weddings board before I got married last year and ventured over here as had become addicted :rotfl: - I pop back there from time to time and am amazed how judgemental some people can be and don't even ask me about the credit card forum

Have a great day everyone am off to the post office later as have an eBay item to post - every little helps and some cards to get on their way.

Morning all...

Hope everyone is having a good day

We are off to Ponty today going to have a little wander around the town and then head to the park. I think we might even treat ourselves to lunch today.

I woke up feeling awful this morning though I think Edward Scissorhands has been at my throat and I just feel like poo but going out is hopefully going to take my mind off it.

I agree about this thread it seems so much friendlier compared to some I've read recently

Morning Ladies, had some more to add to my challenge total today, £10 in Amazon vouchers which have bought OH another A Team boxset for his birthday and £10 from one of the daily click sites. Total now £81 so far :j:j:j:j

My eldest daughter is taking me to the cinema tonight for the first time in I dont know how many years lol, was probs back and white films when I last went haha. We are going to Pizza Hut for tea first too.

Catch you all later xx

You are all so kind & thoughtful & supportive - that's why it's a good thread - others I've seen have been nasty and very sarcastic, to make themselves feel good, presumably, whereas on here we try to make each other feel good.

Hayley - hope you made your bowling - I find coming on here late at night winds me up so I can't sleep - perhaps try a 9:00pm deadline plus the warm bath etc?

Rusty - good for you getting the set - think Antiques Roadshow they always get more for a set and the original boxes.

(((Hugs))) to all those feeling icky - thank goodness they are virtual I don't want to catch anything!:eek: Too much to do....

I'm scared of house crash people! I have learnt my lesson the hard way and had to get PLM to kick their mean asses :rotfl:

Yes to the query about eBay - you can edit a listing later (i think..unless someone bids on it)
