    Gambling, Ebay wanders off scratching head wondering what I have gotten myself into?

    Morning
    Very autumnal feel to the day, but at least it's Friday. The wind totally trashed my poppy last night, looks very sad sitting out there all naked, more buds coming though.

    Not a good nights sleep.
    Back on the job search today, a few more ebay parcels to find suitable packaging for.

    Attempts at a steak pie tonight, and a mountain of jobs queing up in my head to be done this weekend.

    The boss is off today so I'm hoping to take it gently.

    TY 40SM.
    I'm over beating myself up about my interview performance, it's done.
    Had another search this morning nothing much to be had.

    Sitting here waiting for Tesco's have a clean fridge, empty dishwasher and a wash on, dog walked. Tis drizzling out there so I think tonight maybe movie duvet night before the delights of X Factor. Why does X factor always make me think of Christmas ?

    But before I can reap that reward of sofa sitting I must get the ebay box replenished, just a few a day, but it makes for a good declutter.

    I don't need much encouragement me, DS2 had me snuggled on the sofa by 3pm, watched a couple of trash movies. Fed everyone then it was X-Factor, BB and bed and book.

    I blame the weather, lashed it down most of the day. So I acheived very little but am happy with that, bit of unexpected R n R is good for the soul.

    Ebay has offered me free listing on 23/24th, so am holding fire for that.

    Today will be slow and steady.
    Need tea !

    We had blue skies and sunshine all day yesterday but the rain has arrived today instead.

    Slow and steady sounds good to me. Enjoy x
