    Oh, I do love ebay free lisiting days, all the expensive stuff up on there now, and not had to pay a penny in fees!!! lets hope it all sells, if not it will be packed back in the garage and car booted in the spring.

    Juliejim~ I love the RAC answer, tell your Oh it also saves your nails.

    I wouldn't personally defrost meat in a microwave,

    Hi everyone

    Been a bit of a delay getting little M down to theatre as they needed to set up an ITU place ready, so he didn't go until about 11.40am so still waiting to hear from them. Poor little tot is going to be really hungry when they are finished. Thank you for all the thoughts and positive vibes, means a lot. I've stayed in today instead of going to DPs event so I am closer if needed, also saves on my diesel. I am sure they will manage without me.

    Going to sort some laundry in a mo, might get out of my PJs in a bit too :o first day I have stayed in my PJs for so long since before we moved

    Oh and MOAM ebay, ironing will be there tomorrow, free listing day will not.....I should see what we have to go on

    Right think I best do a HH Something to get me off here and moving about as I am starting to feel chilly
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Rose i'm ok, bit of a mad week again. How's you?
    I'm ok, having a bad day today, had lots of nightmares and woke up feeling awful. Trying not to think about it. Glad you are ok xx

    Not completely caught up with thread yet, sorry about that.

    Is anyone else having trouble signing in to ebay when they want to sell something? I click on sell an item and then it asks me to sign in and then when I do it just takes me to the sign in page continuously. I've had this before, it's incredibly irritating!

    Right caught up I think,

    Soappie, glad you're not sporting a shiner today

    Penguin.....so sorry to hear about your horse hun, you must be devastated but the kindest and most responsible thing you can ever do when you have an animal is to know when to ease their pain. xxxx

    Toots glad you're healing hun, I asked before but you probably missed it but I wondered how you'd got on with the stuff I sent you? Any use?

    Vanilla I've defrosted meat in the microwave no problems....I put it on defrost and then zap it for a few mins then check and repeat until defrosted.

    Welcome Potty.

    Pigpen, gawd you're on a roll (decorating....geddit :rotfl:) aren't you? Hope that isn't this years/next years bursary you're spending.....you'll need it for when you get back to Uni.;):p

    AnW'sMum - he he! I didnt know you were a weeble:rotfl::rotfl:

    Oi not you as well! I shall have to come up there and sort you out :p

    Woohoooo I have finally caught up with the thread, I have been playing catch up all week. Next week will be even worse as I am busy Mon-Wed and then at work Thurs/Fri. Should be a good week though so not complaining, I shall have to keep an eye on you all from afar but shall resign myself to the fact that I won't be able to read everything.

    hope little M is ok, coping vibes for you and his parents.

    I have been trying to reserve some stuff at Argos before the £5 for £50 spend runs out on Tues but every time I try a SW comes up here :mad::rolleyes:
