  • Hi all

    Just wanted to say Hi again! Just trying to get into the swing before I post much. Have scanned through your posts you all seem really busy but mustn't use the computer as an excuse to delay so want to get on and will post back later. I've had all my Sunday night instructions this morning no Monday morning ones yet! Is this a common problem?

    Sink is shiny anyway although tips for a ceraminc sink would be appreciated.

    Looking forward to joining you properly soon.

    Shop-to-drop .. I have a white belfast sink.. it gets bleached.. and I use the water to clean the dish cloths and scrub down the cupboard doors and appliances.

    I need to shine the taps though.. for which I use a piece of kitchen roll!

    Fraid my sink will never "shine"

    it's a hideous beige enamel thing that came with the house

    I hate it. It gets a good bleach but it will never be shiny or completely dry. I have tried and tried.

    poor me

    off to ASDA now.

    Sheets out on line.

    soup smells good in sc

    new task - clean eyeliner off bedroom wall where DD had an artistic moment,

    [strike]Get some stuff from ASDA[/strike] DD dropped glass bottle of brown sauce - oops.

    And take kids for haircuts. DDs first ever!

    I know it doesn't seem a lot but I also have DD to take care of and play with - I've learned from experience not to try too much and to give her some time
    so - Watch Charlie and Lola (change to original plan -much better in my opinion.
    Play trains

    Still got to clean up eyeliner.

    And I suppose that ironing is laughing at me. - Off to sort it out.

    I know I'm not too regular on the flying front - last on a couple of weeks ago - but can I sneak into the party? I'll bring some chilli soup and some sambuca which has to go as part of the storecupboard challenge. Honest - it's nice.

    I've photographed all the ebay items so I'm on here while I transfer them to the computer and edit them..all 61 pictures :shhh::eek: Means I will probably spend the rest of the afternoon on the computer! ;) Need to write up new "standard listing" info I have (item description, reason for sale, postage cost + packaging charge ~allows for if the item ends up being in the next weight/size catergory after packaging~ total postage charge, my usual terms & conditions ). All very neatly typed out using HTML and kept in a notepad file so I just cut and paste...saves HOURS on ebay listings ;) Rigbht, pics have copied, quick catch up here and then off to edit pics.
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
