    Morning all

    B was typically up at the crack of dawn on the only day of the week we don't have to be up and somewhere *sigh*

    Going to do a lovely roast for lunch today, B would like to go to playpark so I expect we will end up there for a few hours and I need to do some serious tidying/chucking out and sorting for Christmas.

    whats everyone else up to today?

    moring! Although I think I might go back to bed in a bit, rest up for this afternoon.

    I'm going to Ilkley to see another event at the festival, my last this year. On the way I'm going to look around Otley's afternoon car boot. Other than that I'm hoping to start listing craft stuff on ebay, and I'm going to list more books on Green Metropolis, although I've got a feeling I'm wasting my time there.

    I also want to get a load of paperwork done, but that can wait till evening.

    Ames have you thought about putting some of your books on swapit? You could list a pile and then also look for ones you would like on there and offer the swap? Ive used it a bit and its got rid of ones Ive read and got more to read without having to pay for them.

    I can't use swapit, I've got pushing 200 books that I haven't read yet so I need to get rid rather than just swap! I've used it in the past though and it's a great site.

    Its because I have had the week off and done nothing. Everytime I have a holiday from work and only do house stuff I tend to stay up late yet get up earlier/the same time. I guess its because I havent done anything all day so my energy is still high. Plus I did get around 8 hours :rotfl:

    ah I see Ames...yes I guess you need to get rid of! Could you put them into bundles by author or type and do say 20 and stick them on ebay? You could then courier them for around £8 up to 10kg (would save you having to go to post office as they will collect from your home) You could offer them as books for Car boot. You might sell more off in a quicker time

    This one is about 22 high and I have turned him into a robin for xmas before.

    Also google/ebay imaginisce snag stamps as they have some fab xmas ones released to this year :o They are only about £1 before postage :j Also I have the fox/penguins/birds/animals in the same collection, would you like them for Bea anyways? They are clear arylic stamps so simple to use.
