Sallyx's Sink or Swim, Swimerdy Swim Diary ;)

Funny old weekend, complete Highs and lows
Headed off to meet R at lunchtime on Saturday, popped into see his sister in Winchester and then headed to our hotel which was lovely. Bottle of champers, chocolate and then headed off to party...R looked *swoon* fab and the party was quite frankly amazing. 40th birthday/10th wedding anniversary and boy they must have spent around £5k with the amount of champagne/wine/food and music, Marquee. Danced the night away and collapsed into bed around 2am. Yesterday we had breakfast and time in the swimming/sauna/hot tub at the hotel and then had lunch out before heading back. Had to go and have afternoon Tea with R's ex wife which was fine and then met ex at home where he turned up with Van to remove all of his stuff. Very Very strange and sad too...this is kind of the final nail in the coffin and although I am happy to be moving on did churn up some weird feelings. Said my goodbyes to B until thursday, glad she was excited to be going but its been sooo quiet and weird not having her here.

So busy weekend and this week I need to make the most of my time out. Im still at work but I will have today and tomorrow afternoon off and all day on wednesday so Im going to pack a few of the first things I will move, do lots of running and try and get back on the DFW band wagon. Money has been frittered away and I really want to pay off my last debt before I move in with R so need to make a few hundred pounds in the next 3 weeks.

Make the most of your time without B.....:grouphug:

I tried to ebay upload last night...wouldn't flipping work and was so cross and grumpy I turned it off and left it

Well I am going to do what you suggested and put stuff on all week a bit at a time and then upload it next Sunday.

I have to do it this week....I have loads of stuff to get rid of.

Quick question for the ebay guru - I have (literally) sack loads of clothes that Nathan has grown out of and some pretty much new maternity clothes. Should I ebay it or car boot it to get the most money for it?

Hi Sal

The party sounds great and you both look fab in the photos!

Hope things aren't too weird with B being away x

Sal~Glad you had a good weekend.
The first time my B was away I thought someone had cut off my arm.
It gets easier though.

Luc I would make up bundles which include branded things but also a few that you would have trouble selling otherwise. Bundle them as outfits in the same size i.e. 12-18m. These bundles will generally sell ok on ebay. If you have lots of 0-3 month stuff I wouldn't generally bother on ebay because its over saturated as everyone has hundreds of these clothes. Sell those at a car boot but be prepared just to sell for 20-50p per item or 3 for a pound (gets rid of items but can quickly mount up the £££)

Yes I feel a bit like that at the moment Beanie...its weird I keep thinking mustn't do this/that then realising it doesn't matter...its sooo quiet in the house, didn't realise she made quiet so much noise!

Am really missing her today

Aww hun - must be hard. When N isn't around I kep looking around to see why he's being so quiet:rotfl:

Thanks for the selling tips. Think we'll go the car boot route. Just can't get over the ebay mental block I have:o
