    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 ! :o

    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.

    Miss Malaprop for today: The flower show was a disappointment in the rain, so I said to my husband, "Let's make tacks and go home!"

    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. x

    I know I can be a bit slow on the up take sometimes, but this one actually took me a while and a few reads before I actually got it !! :o
