  • Quickly delurks to say Hello and well done on all your sales, this time next year you'll be a millionaire :rotfl::rotfl:

    During my enforced computer downtime I rediscovered hobbies and have been busy knitting, cross stitching and card making in readiness for C.

    Unfortunately I've got out of the PADding habit but OH and I have declared October a frugal month with, hopefully, no unplaneed expenditure. We are also living out the freezer and store cupboard. Really do need to start making inroads into debts again.

    Good luck with the job hunting ebayqueen.

    Catch up with you all again soon.

    Hi everyone - good to see you again retired. Well done on getting organised for the big C! It's very easy to spend hours on the computer everyday which reduces the amount of time to do other stuff, so good that you've got back your hobby time!

    I went to bed at 8.30pm last night, and finally dragged myself out again at 7.45am this morning which means I had to run around like a mad thing to get the dog walked and everything done before going to work. It's helped though - I really needed the sleep. I don't sleep well as a general rule and wake several times a night, but the first time I recall last night was 3.00am so I really think I did get a nice few hours in. :T

    I've realised that this weekend needs to be the last I can list anything for this month, so looks like I'm not going to hit my target after all. I've got two occasions where I am away for work for a couple of days, and then we have our trip away so I need to ensure I don't have stuff listed.

    Oh well. I'm going to try and get some stuff on tomorrow, and maybe some at the weekend, then I shall enjoy enforced ebay absence! :D

    Hi all :)

    I know that *need* for sleep jwil - i've been the same myself this week :cool: Had about 2 hours sleep if that Satday - Sunday as was up very early for the carbooty and then did sleep sun - mon but not nearly enough.

    Finally starting to feel a *little* more human but have lots to do before bed and a very early start - MS and p/t work to do - it is only for a little extra money and i am exhausted but it has to be done :o

    Ooh holibobs holibobs :j:j:j i didn't realise it was so soon :)

    You've just reminded me to check my e-b*y listings but sadly no movement on them as yet :cool:

    have a good day tomorrow all x

  • I think I need a dog to get me out of the house, I am not lazy but working from home means less excercise , on top I am feeling tired and wanting to sleep but really shoudn't... My weight is plummetting - how are you doing with your weight loss Jwill??

    I'm not actively trying to lose weight at the moment, as I have just too much going on. It is at the back of my mind though, and I am trying to make small changes.

    Funnily enough I stood on the scales for the first time in ages today and I'm about 7lbs lighter than I was then, so I'm pleased with that!

    It is easy to get out of the habit of exercising when you work from home. A bit of fresh air is always nice though. Well done on your weight loss though WTBF - hopefully the plummeting weight is planned and not a lack of taking care of yourself!

    I've managed 38 listings today! Hurrah!

    Just waiting for some stuff to go out and then I'll be done for the night.

    I've also sold a book on amazon so have £4.76 to add.

    Hope everyone is well. Peaceandfreedom, we miss you :( Hope all is well with you if you are lurking.

    Hope you've had a good day DDFW, it sounded like a long one! Hope you manage to get some decent rest soon.

    Good luck with the ebay sales.

    And it's the weekend :j:j:j:j:j:j

    Not sure what I'm up to this weekend, I was planning a weekend away from the computer, but if it's the last weekend I can list on ebay for a while I ought to do that really. We shall see.

    Got a rare night out tomorrow, so looking forward to that.

    Hope everyone has a good one!
