:T It will feel fab when the cheque arrives.
The snow is now a PITA too as DD off today but I am going to try and drive her in tomo. She sat a mock GCSE in her bedroom today too.
Your Ebay comment was insightful. One of my annoying sayings is out of bad things can come good things and just from things in my own life, it is often true.
You love doing Ebay and it could 'easily' become your new job or a large part of your income. It may not have happened had circumstances been different....like Cyprus selling straight away.
I feel lucky to have a job I love 90% of the time, to be self employed and earn a living.
which reminds me....Any news on Cyprus selling?0
