tis worth a go on ebay imo.

morning all
lovely day sunny and rather windy!
well no paid work today... or any sight of it either.
car not sold - what is wrong with people??? why do they say yes i will ring / come see it/ see it and then say ooo very interested and then ....NOTHING silence?
saw my dream car today! its only 18K bargain! im as unlikely to get that as to fly to the moon!
ebay going ok - but too slow for my liking! must list more must sell more!
how we all doing out there in debtfreeland?
please share ur news with me!
till later

Hello :hello:
Firstly, you've got me intrigued of this idea of yours.....tell me tell me!!! I'm glad to hear it's not the street corners :rotfl:I'm also liking your husbands idea of expressing his love via a dance......at least he's expressing it.....some don't bother at all, even if it is some weird dance :rotfl:
Sounds like you have been busy with the ebaying....won't be long before the pennies start coming in!
I'm feeling pretty good for my break, sometimes you just need it to re-evaluate and collect your thoughts. It was perfect timing as OH was away all week and I picked him up from airport yesterday - lots of me time and must of been needed as didn't feel lonely once.
Ooh and I am up to 31 hours overtime :j Don't think i'll reach 50 before due date of handing in form but I am still very please.
Anyhow, best get some food for lunch.
Take care,
K xx0
