Just reappearing from underneath a pile of wrapping paper and balloons of the last few days to catch up NL.
Painting sounds lovely and bright and has shamed me into convincing myself that I really must finish the painting in the kitchen that we first begun tackling in January !
Hope the ebay stuff all sold over the weekend.
Mrs B, all I have to say to you madam is Well said !

ok all you lovely folks ... all e*ay stuff posted and off. Whoot. 2 to finish tomorrow so happy about that
Apparently Southern Electric has lowered their electric prices. I dont know how that will help me but I am willing to find out.
I won an award at work today which was unexpected, sadly did not come with any ££ but a pat on the back is a pat on the back!
I have loads more stuff to E*bay so hoping for a free listing weekend soon. I am still going to put at least 1 thing on per day and then do a whole load on the free weekend.

An award! Well done you!
I'm doing at least two items a day on e*Bay. I have fifteen items at the moment, not all are going to sell though. I find it so boring though.
Miss Malaprop is a star, keep recording her, she's great.

Yes Piq, I agree, Miss Malaprop is funny ! I think her and my DD1 would make a great double act. Sadly I cant post many of the insane things she comes out with, as they are constantly being relayed at gatherings !
Huge Congrats on the award NL, well done, it msut have been a great boost for you. xLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:
