    aaaahhhhhrrrrgggg!

    Spent the last 5 hours listing on ebay. Feel like my head is about to explode.
    Off for a bath and an early night...... I have about the same amount to list tomorrow

    Won't be logging in again tonight, so good night all
  • I'm back!
    Did a huge shop, it's pouring with snow and so windy...have enough food to last us if we get snowed in, though, and while OH is at home. My muscles hurt so much that my arms are shaking really dramatically, though, I think we bought too much!
    Including two lovely bottles of sparkling wine :)

    Thank you for all the suggestions on prices and binding, and for the support. I'm feeling a lot happier, and plan on being a notebook machine tonight and tomorrow! So by tomorrow night I should be okay having been on my own all day, and have lots of new notebooks to show off.

    Amber, I'm offering plain, lined and graph paper, or a mixture of each, so people can make their own minds up. Also, can you write in Spanish?

    Hello Everyone
    Have missed being on here the last couple of days, I'm another one with overload and I've been feeling a bit down, don't know why just feel like I'm fighting a losing battle with everything!
    Anyway, I am going to list some bits on ebay tomorrow and have just got back from a couple hours extra at the company I usually work for on Saturdays so that's good.
    Have had a good tidy up today in the house, gone through all the kids toys, tidied the office and have a load of stuff boxed for car boot now which has made me feel better. Just need a good night's sleep now.
    Hope everyone is ok, haven't had chance to read back through the pages.
    Mum to 2 DSs, dog mum, wife full-time worker.
    Keen to live a healthly lifestyle and save money
  • What do you need in Spanish, Saucy?

    The kitten is currently called Miniyonks - no I have no idea what that means either - so I feel a new name coming on.

    I just wondered if you could write in it, that's all :A

    I'm being a lovely daughter!

    Edit: 2 Cats, I forgot to say earlier, I'd be interested in your craft show idea, it sounds brilliant! I'd never think of anything as clever as that, lol.

    Hi Nat hugs for you too- not a good week for the dribbly thread this week, I've just had an argument with OH ( about the starting price of an auction on Ebay of all things) and he's sulked off to bed. It was his fault for not listening properly when I asked him what to start the bloody thing on and if it doesn't get any other bids by Sunday he's gonna be even more narky :-/ aaarrrrggghhhhhhh

    OK, Saucy, if we mention when we are doing craft shows or similar then we can maybe exchange samples and business cards/fliers. The first that I know for sure is 10th July, but my craft room is gradually filling up with "stuff" so I'll be on the lookout for something April/May-ish to have my first dabble.

    BTW I have done some more CDs tonight and I am really liking them. I have settled on 4 pendant shapes, plus earrings, just to make life easier for myself. I've discovered that the offcuts make really nice feature panels for cards, too, so will be making some groovy cards at some point.

    Enjoying the peace and quiet as DH and DD are out - bliss.
  • Well, have been at my Dove photo shoot today and it was great fun. We had a great day although only 3 of us owned up to being MSE'ers :-)

    Had hair and makeup done and got a nice goody bag too.

    Thank you Dove :-)
