Glad you are feeling all chipper Don't know how you do the ebay, I only got 51 things on yesterday and I was knackered!

tired after yesterdays marathon, ironinng today which is good.

foggy as anything today though.

batteries running out in my keyboard and someone has taken all the AA batteries so i have to wiggle the ones in the keyboard to make them last longer........duh duh

now here's a funny thing... we all know what a Terry's chocolate orange is .. .right? some of us love it and some of us think the combination of chocolate and orange is just soo wrong and evil - but whatever our preference we know what it is.

soooo consider this... in OH suitcase i pack a Terry's chocolate orange, as a little gift/surprise for him - a token of home - he takes it into work - and sends round an email to his european colleagues - think swiss, german, italian and further afield ... saying "terry's chocolate orange on my desk - all welcome"

along come said colleagues... they had never heard or seen such a thing in their lives... never SEEN a terry's choc orange. some tried it and loved it... some refused to try it and just wanted to look at it!!!!!?!?!?!?

how weird is that? i mean - some wanted to just look at it? omg - these are supposedly highly skilled, intelligent people...

some folk... eh!

How funny - there are some strange folk about.

I loooooove Terry's chocolate orange - in fact I love all chocolate (that's my problem)

Gosh, well done on listing so much! I managed a grand total of.....14! There again, it was all last minute and I was like a mad woman, just rushing round the house grabbing stuff I'd had half a mind to "do", and seizing the moment. So was actually quite pleased I did it at all. And it took me....2 hours! Don't know quite why it takes me so long - need to get better and quicker at it (well, that and about a million other things....)

i know what you mean though mrs P! im a choc fan too....

mrs robinson.... i started listing at 9pm and managed 128 but no watchers... now i am paranoid... but think that maybe cos january a hard month and people got paid early for december soo maybe money is scarce?

another weird thing i managed to do today was....

i put my satnav, media centre thingy and computer on the car all into spanish. .... i have no idea how and it took 20 mins to put back to english.. was amusing at the time until i realised i couldnt understand it. :-( adios!

How sweet to put a treat in your husband's bag

I am really lacking in the ability to list things quickly on ebay.....

mrscmr

I just did a longish post and the forum crashed and it's gone ;-(

Anyway....you have inspired me to sort out my Ebay Clearance there is boxes of it and I haven't had the time to sort it all out...but next week I start.

The push is Egg are keen to f+f.....and so, I could raise it with the ebay £££.

Jan/feb are always a bit slow (unless you sell snow boots and the like) but still plenty of buyers about. We have been shocked at our Real Life sales over the past 2 weeks......didn't expect them to be good at all and they have been way up on forecast. Strange.....even with the snow causing all that bother too.

I have my OH back for a couple of days too.....it's hard when work takes them away..but handy for getting stuff done.;) It's only until July 2010 though...we get to all live together again then.

omg i am a powerseller on ebay!

and my website went live today and so far all good... i can invoice tomorrow! yay me!
