    BTW AHPRA hasn't yet received my paper copy - this isn't looking good. I had better start tearing my room apart for this bloody tracking number:mad::mad:.

    It's official - as many of you have long suspected. I am in fact a machine:D.

    All the eBay which has sold is now packaged and ready waiting for the Post Office. All of the remaining eBay which was painstakingly ironed by my own fair hand last night, is now listed.:j:j:j:j

    Can't decided whether to stay up and go to the Post Office or do I go to bed and get up late afternoon to head to the Post Office? Have decided the printer can wait until before work to be listed on Gumtree. I AM KNACKERED!

    Off to bed I think, and will get up and do Tesco and Post Office closer to 4pm. Then come back lie in bed and do nothing until work - except list the bloody printer/scanner on Gumtree!:o

    Have another little lot of eBay finishing tonight just to keep me entertained. Have just about enough posting bags to send it all off, and have ordered another 100 for my further eBay ventures once I scratch the surface at home.:T

    Night all, best rest my weary head until this afternoon. Plus I'm running out of diet coke, which is very important so will need to get up to replenish my stash this afternoon. Food and the Post Office will be a by product of this enthusiasm:).

    Just popping by to say how much I loved reading the first part of your book :D You will make millions :T
    I also love reading your updates and you definitely are a machine. Where on earth do you find the energy? I know you have the most fantastic deadline but you must be exhausted, remember to take care of yourself :)

    Thanks FreebyFifty, so lovely of you to post :D.

    Well sadly, I won't make millions from the book because I have no idea how to go about getting it out there! Maybe once I'm settled in Australia, I'll have more time to write and figure out how to get it out there. Then again, maybe I'll be too busy sunning myself:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Hopefully a bit of both.

    I am shattered, I'm usually very good on nights as I sleep for at least 9 hours in between. This eBaying is really messing with my sleep! Having to list things in the morning before bed, then get up early enough to post so I don't miss the Post Office. Never mind, its short term and all very exciting when the items finish. I didn't realise I had such a little goldmine in the deep dark corners of my wardrobe!!!

    Anyway must pop in the shower before work.:)

    Just popping in to say you are my new MSE hero! I started on page 1 at lunchtime on Saturday and have just finished reading your entire diary in one weekend (plus an evening).

    Really must sleep now, since I have work in the morning (in Glasgow!), but wanted to say thanks for sharing the last 3 yrs of your life with us! I'm so excited to follow the next 3 years! ;)

    I will PM my email address for your book chapters. Keep writing because I have an idea on how to get it out there! Will PM my thoughts tomorrow.

    Hope your shift isn't too busy!

    :D

    Hi MoKa,

    Welcome along, and thanks for reading the entire diary (that might be a record time:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:).

    I'm happy to send you the rest of what I've written but it isn't much and requires lots of work! Here's hoping that's what JK Rowling had to say about the first ever Harry Potter;).

    Thank you so much for reading, we are generally a merry little band - FOR THE NEXT SIX WEEKS AT LEAST:eek::eek::eek::eek:.

    The ward is full to bursting - quite literally. Haven't started topping and tailing them yet, but just you wait!

    Of course, the "management" haven't even put us on Amber alert - @rseholes.

    They obviously want their pound of flesh before I pop my clogs (or manage to escape to Oz - whatever comes first):eek:.

    Hubby and I had a mutual grump at each other, but have since made up. He phoned me to ask where the parcel tape was - seriously?! I've asked him to package one item for a courier to collect tomorrow, and you would think I'd asked him to arrange the next Summit on climate change:mad::mad::mad:.

    Parcel tape found, fight over. And my eBay did very well tonight - at least another £180 to the pot:A.

    More finishing tomorrow - looking to be at least £100 at the moment:j:j:j.

    When I get in this morning, more packaging of ebay sales, then up a bit early (or stay up - can't decide) and head off to the Post Office to send it all off.

    Went to Tesco when I finished in the Post Office today (well yesterday now), and got my essentials for the rest of the week. My essentials included 2 bottles of half price wine to keep me company in the absence of my TV from Wednesday;).

    Talking of Wednesday, apparently the bleep holder has booked someone else for Wednesday night bank tonight, as apparently my name wasn't in the folder!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad: I'm raging because I cancelled my plans. I'm leaving a note under the door of the Labour Ward Manager and hoping she cancels the person just booked and I still get the shift.:mad::mad::mad::mad:
