no.. you are.. as you inspired yourself.. you got your ebay mojo back...:T

you will have to let us know when the auctions have ended, what they went for.... ok i know i am a nosey so and so......lol... but reading about how well, and what people are doing, really does keep the things fresh and exciting..

when it comes to ebay.. i sit for hours just going htrough the diff catagories that i am interested in,,, and look at how much things reach in auction... as this will give me a better idea on things to list.

found this on ebay a week or so ago, i honestly didnt think there would be so much interest. but then again with waiting times for hospital oppointments maybe someone was thinking of a bit of diy:rotfl:

Fingers crossed as every penny is helping me to get closer to financial freedom which would mean the world to my family and I, once we manage that we can start putting away a nest egg for the future. If these items sell okay then I will dig out a few others and see if I can make even more!

On the gardening front I have started to look through some books so that I can start to plan for next year. I am determined to make better use of the space this year!

Good luck all with your ebaying.

I lost one of my orpan lambs yesterday - drowned. We couldn't find her at feed time & trailed all over in the dark & eventually found her. I feel a bit sickened today.

Rummer

Oh Choille that is awful, sending hugs your way ((((((hugs))))))

Cheers Rummer - If you keep livestock, you do will have some dead stock as they say. We have such little losses compared to many, but we took her on as an orphan & when you bottle feed them they end up like pets in a way.
I did my blog last night & felt better after writing about it - as you do.

Rummer

That does make it harder when you have have built up a bond, although you need to remember you gave a fabulous life short as it may have been.

That's right, she did have a good little life, just after all the input & then snuff. I've hardly had time to think today. We had to double ear tag the male lambs ( catch them first - obviously) that are away tomorrow & load them along to someone who is taking them to market along with their own sheep. Sounds simple, but it's taken a good while.
Started on hacking out some brambles along the bottom - did an hour before dark came in. Feel jiggered now - all that lifting lambs in the morning. Been a glorious day, but there's a smattering of snow on the tops - so was cold last night. All the field fares having their final feast on the rowan berries - there's been thousands fluttering about today. All looks magnificent, but the weather is to turn bad again tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that, I know the first time I had to put down a self raised chick I cried.
