    Never mind, I'm still down as available so who knows. I will use Wednesday night to pack and drink lots of wine. That ought to cheer me up.

    Except I'll have no TV:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. But I will have £22 in its place:money:.

    Off to check my online banking, see how my little Aussie fund is coming along. Oh, and suppose I should check my current account is still solvent :D.

    Ok so all the eBay which has been paid for is now packaged and ready to send. Another 9 items finishing today :D. Will get up around 4pm and crawl to the Post Office with my goodies to post.

    I seriously get so excited as the bids come in close to finishing time. What a complete and utter sad case:p.

    Have done really well out of eBay this month, so glad I knuckled down and got it all listed. Hopefully I can get it all paid and posted out before leaving London ON MONDAY!!!!:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Have an entire house worth in Glasgow to be getting rid of, so let the fun begin;).

    Had an email overnight about the ironing board lot on Gumtree I have listed, so hopefully that's another lot away for £12.

    Have a confession to make - cards on the table................I emailed the lady buying the TV, rug, throw and mirror and asked her to collect them Thursday or Friday instead of Wednesday. Told her my plans had changed, but in the real world I spotted my two favourite programmes were on Wednesday night - Secret Eaters and TOWIE:o. Total trash but I love it. And if I'm not working now, I can't possibly not have TV:o.

    Have decided I'm trying our Martin's downshift challenge for a week when I get home. Every penny counts ;).

    Right enough whittering - off to bed. Night all - I'll be back when the sun goes down. (That makes me sound incredibly sinister:eek:).

    Well, I slept through the alarm for the Post Office:o. Will need to a make a trip tomorrow with an even heavier bag.

    Have £218 waiting to clear in Paypal, and a total of £403.80 currently in cyberspace from paypal to my bank account:j:j:j:j. Also still have around £80 outstanding to be paid from items which finished today, and a total of 31 listings are still active:j:j:j:j.

    This is so much fun!:D:money::D:money::D:money:

    Right, off to jump in the shower so I'm not a stinky Midwife tonight. Will be back to warble on no doubt during nightshift.

    PS No email back from the lady via Gumtree about whether she can collect the rug, tv etc on Thursday or Friday - maybe I've upset her?

    Also, no word from the dude wanting the ironing board. Please reply :( (I want your money).

    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:.

    So glad it's not just me. I usually respond with and just how big is the F***ing room exactly, would you like me to draw you a map :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Oh dear, me thinks it won't take you very long to look at that, unless you ask for it all in 1p pieces. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
