I had 15 items ending today and only 10 sold.
I listed another 17 yesterday, and relisted my 5 unsold tonight, so they'll all end after January payday when everyone will be on and spending again. 
I've got another huge pile (or ten) to list - but should manage a bit tomorrow when V is out with MIL being fed wotsits, milky bar and ribena!erm well actually I just assumed it comes in the other colours
??
I'm thinking of asking on freegle if anyone has an old/broken antilop that I can have the legs off so I can do tall or short :cool: but also gonna look for the little springy bits that lock the legs in place to see if making ones is an option - could be a nice lil earner
Ed is loving it already (yes he is still awake *rolleyes*)
Did you dream about the coloured trays on the same night you dreamt about short legs?
Maybe we could all ask for spare legs on our local freecycles/freegles?
Did you also have a moses for Mel? If you have, and Mel isn't coming to TC or next sling meet I can collect it for her to save postage. She's only 10 minutes up the road.
MFD You work far too hard. I think you should have a day off next Tuesday to have a day of shopping at the TC.

This one's pink and cream anyway SM - I've heard good stuff about the mei tai ones and am thinking of getting one off ebay. Going to baby group tomorrow to get Caitlyn weighed, she was 12lb 3oz about 5 weeks ago and almost down to the 0.4th centile. She's gaining but slowly, and she was almost 2lb heavier that Josh was at birth!Sealed Pot Challenge #817 £50 banked
