    Aurora - post whenever you get chance, its great to hear from you ! what have you been planting?

    rainmac - you should be able to have a look in 'seller account' on the right hand list :)

    ETA: I try to thank every post on this thread, but if I don't it isn't because I don't luv ya, sometimes my thanks doesn't work and sometimes I don't read the post because there has been lots of pages :)

    Calm down, calm down PLM :rolleyes: :p

    Jammy - how do I work out ebay seller fees on what I've sold? I made £39 this week but not sure how much to knock off for seller fees I'll have to pay?

    Rusty - I've ventured to the cake thread once or twice but felt it was a bit like I was without a membership card so haven't really been back but do look occasionally as I love seeing the beautiful cakes :D

    Hayley, if your neice is anything like my boys, she'll love the softplay centre. I loose mine in them and trying to get them to leave is almost impossible ;) Well done on waking up but if you went back to sleep you obviously needed the sleep. Could you talk to the GP about some relaxation exercises?

    Hope your sore throat feels better soon Shelley x

    Well my intentions of sorting out the Duplo has gone a but pete tong. It's like you said Choccy, the more I have tried to do, the more mess I've got in. We've got all the Duplo out but it is all over DS1's bedroom foor as the boys liked playing with it today. I don't really want them to fall back in love with the stuff as I want to get rid of it and make some space :rolleyes: I haven't done any ironing this week so I have an ever growing pile of clothes on the back of the sofa. I hope a little ironing fairy will pop in and do it for me when I'm not here, anyone fancy it? Please, pretty please?

    Did furry say she was away for a few days over Easter or am I making that up?

    Rainmac you should come join in ... I know what you mean though I feel like that sometimes and I was the one who bumped the whole thread back up from a year previous! :rotfl: You know if you ever have any questions you can just ask and I will try and help but your cakes are always beautiful so you are fine :D

    Jammy likes ironing :D

    Why does everyone have a name? :rotfl: Elves, bag ladys, plus, chocky.

    I am just jealous as I don't have a special name :rotfl:

    I came home and got into my PJ's :D My man is good in the kitchen, he doesn;'t follow destructions he just throws things in and hopes for the best, only thing is he gets a big head as it generally tastes gorgeous!!!

    What do you want to be called missus? Are you saying Rusty Flange is your real name :eek:

  • 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 :o

    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.
    Yes paddington, you can do that. I always list from work on a Thursday evening (10 day listing - so finish on Sunday) and if I forget my camera I do the listing, then edit the photos the next day

    Good luck with the sales x

    Aurora, post whenever you like and about whatever you like. I can't imagine you could offend anyone???

    Rusty, as I knew you from other threads I have asked you my questions rather than posting all of them on the cake thread, know I'll get my question answered by a professional :D

    There is not 10 years younger on tonight. How did that happen??? I'll be thanking the posts then. :-) Must get on with the ironing now. Lots to do before easter sunday, some friends are coming over and i want the whole house gleaming. :-)

    Jammy - I can't possibly get into the gardening on here. :-) I would go and on and on. :-) Today, replanted my olive seedlings, some plants that I was given as a thank you, and a lot of seed like fennel, cucumbers...and marigolds.

    A big Thank You - to everyone. xxx

    Aren't marigolds the things you put on your hands? :rotfl: That is the extent of my green fingers :D

    Oooh hang on no ... my friends mum always used to say to wear marigolds before putting your finger in a belly button then you wont get pregnant :rotfl:

    Rainmac, thankyou for the compliment however I am hardly a professional :rotfl:

  • :D Can i just say that furrypig is ok.I spoke to her last night,so shes not in a pen ;) she was on the beer though :rotfl:

    Aurora I love gardening too. Well i say love gardening,I didnt when 2 days ago my 4 tier greenhouse blew over in the wind and all my little seedlings ended up upsidedown covered in compost :rolleyes:. It took nearly an hour to pluck them out and try and plant them again. Its the first year i have attempted to grow anything as usually i can kill a cactus :rotfl:

    Hows the cats now Sylphraven ?

    Rainmac I have learnt not to attempt to get toys out when the kids are about. They do all of a sudden find a love for them again and you end up keeping them :rolleyes: Been there.Got the tshirt :rotfl:

    Rusty You have a name already....Its Rusty :rotfl:Its strange though whenever i talk about you gals ...which i often do :o I always call you Rusty.Where as i cant seem to remember Rainmacs name on here. I forget who she is.. I always call her her real name:o Same with Sylphraven too.
    Marigolds ?? posh woman ....tesco value here ;)... I love your cakes Rusty dont let people get to you. I have read on there and bought the stuff, i need to make 2 cakes for my sons girlfriends friends. But its not a thread i could/would join in on. You can tell its not as homely as this thread..

    Hayley Hope you had a great afternoon out. Just think that 11 is better than 3. So you are getting there xxx:D

    Right only just walked in so if i have missed anyone i appologise.
    Off to put my comfy clothes on :D Back soon xx
