I guess you are too busy listing to post!!!!

No, Reddie, not at all! I'm gutted - I didn't know if was a free listings this weekend as I didn't receive the e-mail saying so. I only found out about half an hour ago cos I read it on someone else's thread. And I had today off (although I spent it cooking egg custards with my neice) so I could have done some damage as well! :eek: I'm working tomorrow (not all day), and I think it probably too late to start listing now as who is likely to be buying stuff online this time next Saturday, and I should do it in the morning.

Or is that just thinking soft?

If you can list as late as possible in morning, but no earlier than 11am, I would do it. If you can't list at that time leave it until next time, which will be next month (they seem to be offering one a month now)

Just checked Ebay and its definately free listing for all, not that I have listed either!

I'm at work at 11. Think I might have to wait until I get back, but it will be difficult with the guests. And Turbolister appears to be playing up. Hmm...could have circumnavigated certain problems that way. :mad:

Sleep tight, Reddie, and thanks for the advice!

It has been a busy few days...we've had relatives staying over from Ireland, which has been lovely, so I spent yesterday baking custard tarts with little 'uns.

I've also been at work (got 2.5 hours overtime today at time and a half pay, which is something considering the few hours I'm getting at the minute). Having said that, I've been a bit naughty in going to bed very late which means that I haven't had enough time to make lunches to take with me, so I've bought two this week. Must. Get. Organised!

I only got the chance to partially list about 20 items on Ebay tonight. I will have to fill in the listings ASAP. Tomorrow I have to spend the day doing massage homework and getting back into things for tomorrow night's class. _pale_ And see if I can do something about those listings. _pale_ _pale_

I need to go to bed now. Tomorrow will be a busy one. In fact, all week will be. _pale_ _pale_ _pale_

Very well done on getting the items listed, you are putting me to shame!

Ah, but I didn't have the time to list them all properly so I took a tip from the guys on the Ebay threads and just listed the bare minimum (title, stuck the title in the description box) and today I now have to go back and fill it all out properly. I would have only got about 3 on otherwise.

Right, went to bed late, got up late, need to have shower, go to library to return book, edit Ebay listings and meet friend for coffee this evening.

Not sure if going to bed quite that late was a good idea: I feel a bit sick. _pale_ Bah, I have no time for that - it's a busy week and I need to get everything done on the appropriate days to get it all done. Today is Ebay and practice music day, so I had best be off.

Feeling any better??

No, I was poorly-sick all day yesterday.

But I feel better today.

It sill didn't stop me spending, mind! I bought some small boot shapers at Dunelm Mill (went with Picklemum), and some ceramic beads for putting in your pastry cases when you cook to stop them rising. (I''ve recently made pastry cases twice and they have risen, so I need them, unless anyone else can think up an alternative so I can return them? ).

I also bought a cook's blowtorch online as I'm going to have to cook dinner for friends soon and I think desert is going to be creme brulee. (It better had be, now!)

We need some ink cartridges for the printer and I manageed to order eight of the generic replacements (the three colours are seperate so that's 2 of each of the coloured cartridges plus two black ones) for just under a tenner off Amazon. Bargain!

I also had dinner out with a friend, when I felt a bit better afer a few hours sleep. I was only supposed to meet her for a coffee, but I slept through dinner and didn't have enough time to make anything without gobbling it down, which I think would have just made me feel rubbish again, so that seemed the more sensible option. Cue £11 + 50p tip.

All in all, a fairly expensive day.

I must be good until payday! :A

No you WILL be good until payday and every day after that

Glad you're feeling better today (she said popping, briefly, out of lurkdom). If you're looking for an excuse to return the baking beads, then a bag of value rice will do the trick. If you scrunch up a sheet of baking paper first, then spread it out it will fit the pastry case nicely and then you can fill it with rice

It doesn't sound like you were wantonly spendy today (is that the right word? It's made me think of wontons) and creme brulee will be awesome!
