    oh and Free listing this weekend on ebay, if you want to sell your items rather than give them to the charity shop :)

    it means they won't charge you for listing the items, just a percentage for when you sell them.

    The Rapture? I think thats what the far right Christians call it, when they're lifted off the planet by aliens before the end of the world. Yep, cleaning is definitely off - although, would we be more likely to be chosen if we had nice clean bathrooms :rotfl: darn it - having made a joke about it, I'll never be picked now, I'll *never* get to meet ET :rotfl:

    I'm meeting my friend for lunch, and when I've dropped him back to the bus station I will go on the way back home. Unless I change my mind of course. It's a female's perrogative x

    from Sunday school - I thought the "chosen ones" were whipped off to eternal bliss, and then there was 7 years of godlessness... until the Battle of Armageddon when the world ended...

    So even if the Rapture is today, it's at least 7 years til the end of the world.

    I'd better go shopping lol x

    Need help and coaching on this one - never managed to sell anything on e-bay; ever.

    What I fancy doing for fun and profit is to do a carboot sale - it is very good for getting out one's comfort zone; talking to people; doing a gentle sell; hustling...Should put it on life goals list.

    Oh good, this gives me good reason not to study today :D I can get on with cross stitch. There will be nobody to see the finished project but at least it gave me pleasure while doing it.

    I suspect I will be needing to pick up my study books tomorrow morning :rotfl:

    This is it - rapture. Cleaning certaily off - I don't want to be taken off; I suspect the eternal blis is really boring and I am sure not missing all the 'fun' during the seven years. So shopiing, cooking, blogging shall be done. Cleaning - na....

    Oh, PS - as far as I'm concerned, doing a car boot is one of life's must-be-avoided-at-all-costs :o

    FW - will pm you - not about the rapture, I promise :D
