    two more items (jeans) listed on e bay

    thought listing had been rejected (one pair are Tommy Hilfiger's and dire warnings about fake items appeared. Well they were from T K Maxx so I don't suppose they were fake) but no

    my listings take up TWO PAGES...

    ah well

    pots to wash....

    It's my first day today and I haven't done fantastic but I've done more than I would have usually done :o Started HHI but didn't stop at half hour did an hour and as a result I now have no ironing :j Can't remember last time I had no ironing pile, usually just make sure lo's things are done! I'm quite excited about tommorow's list now!

    Will try and finish today's list tomorrow too. I have also got a huge list of my own which now have a few things crossed off. All in all very happy with day one :)

    Thank you for everyone's kind words about Stripes. I know, at the end of the day, she's a dog and I need to put it all in perspective. Tomorrow is a new day and I'll be positive about it from then on!!!

    LL - hugs for you, hope the bruises are fading after your fall. I think maybe we should both try the fairy dust on her as long as it doesn't interfere with the xrays!!!

    Flying wise - two washes done, children fed, floors swept and now I'm off to sort the underwear! Hugs to all xx
