    Don't worry Mary, at least you have got some organising done - more than me. I hope your OH is feeling a little bit better, and that your back is too!

    DD1 much better today, she'll live after all...you would have thought she was on her last legs if you could have heard her! LOL

    Hello all :j
    Well, spent most of the day making envelopes to put copies of birth and marriage certificates in my family tree scrapbooks...............result I thought ok but nothing else got done.............foster daughter called round so she's taken some surplus seeds to grow in her greenhouse for us - back up in case ours planted outside don't do any good.
    OH rang his mum just to see how she was ............think he wished he'd not bothered..............maybe for her birthday I can concoct some 'grumpy old women' stuff.................lol:rotfl: Second thoughts best not..............lol:rotfl:

    Did a carboot, we live right by the school, got up at 5.30am, and there was cars there already......we got there 6.15am..... trying to unload the car, and some bloke was trying to get into the boot for a raid.. told him to let the rabbit see the dog!! .... he took the hint.

    Made £63 very plzed,:j but...... £28 of that was dds stuff, (she has the money back, put up for when she wants bigger things), we had a free table :p, so was very nice:D and gave dad £5 for coming with me...... so still £30 in profit, can't moan, and it stayed dry. Thou have to confess went to bed for 40 winks this afternoon......xx

    Ebay items finished -update on these

    Done well got my ebay sales sorted, just got to wrap them and send dad to the Post Office.....!! (haven't told him that but yet!)

    Sold 11/15 things ok -

    £70.52 - sales of goods
    £40.50 for postage (on top of the value of goods) (the great plan is to get as ebay fees out of this, and any left o 2wards replacing paypals cut!)



    Ebay fees - £8.45 - paid that straight off 2ngt, its done and dusted. 4 people pd 2ngt by paypal guess the rest dribble in... x

    Not done much organising this weekend, been rushing about after the kids :D OH watched footy yesterday and was a bit upset at the results (oh what a shame LOL:rotfl: serves him right for living with a Chelsea Fan LOL)

    Ordered some nice gift boxes for £1 each off Mama's & Papa's website using my £5 free gift card, will go and pick them up at the weekend depending on the size they should be good for making little hampers up.
    :D:D:D:D:D
