Evening, hoping everyone's ebaying is going well.

I'm on DD1's laptop and its lovely, what a difference from our rusty old desktop, think we need an upgrade soonish.

I've managed to list some items, more to go. Today we have managed to declutter quite a bit of money.:eek:

We went to carpet shop and got carpet for bedroom plus underlay etc from B & Q. Then to town with DD2 to kit her out for an upcoming school trip. As I hate clothes shopping with a passion I left her to it...maybe not such a good idea as she came back with an armful of Pineapple dance studio clothes...:think: Anyway we got 'em as they do the job ish and are reasonable priced.

I managed to find a lovely huge american cookery book which will keep me quiet for ages.

That's it really, wm filled, emptied and refilled, as was TD.
Just getting ready for the week ahead. Hubby in london tomorrow so early start for him, I'm at the dentist in the afternoon.

Hiope everyone has a productive week.:D

In again

mum's friend ended up dusting my room this weekend so she's moved all my stuff. Will find it all tonight...

Willow why was someone else doing your dusting????????? dusting the bedroom was on the list on thursday - you are very lucky that you dont have to do all the tasks but you should at least be able to have a sparkling bedroom!!!! Will we have to fling fluffy mules at you to get you to do stuff:rotfl:

still feeling a bit out of sorts and now have a dodgy tum too:(- have had a quiet day and tried to do some ebay but it was so slow i gave up - while i was tearing my hair out waiting on the pc I cleared half the pc desk - havent seen the shelf for weeks so thats something!

lots of fiddly things to catch up on this week and I have only 33 days left to get all my Christmas stuff done before i go back into hospital - I do not want to be lying in hospital stressing over things so it must be done before I go in! Nightmare!!!!!!

so my 'little' list will follow shortly!!!:rotfl:

love and hugs to all the poorlies and those feeling down.
special love to LadyL and Diva

hope we all have a good week

I am feeling a lot better thanks had major Black dog that wouldnt go away, got good news friday from hospital step dad has got the all clear after his op although he is still having trouble as they have discovered he has diabetes so still struggling to get the levels right has meant a few visits to the hospital that he could have done without, My shoulder is finally on the mend hopefully after having to have some injections and a few scans but at least it is a lot less painful now.

Sorry to hear you are out of sorts thankyou so much for all your support it was so much appreciated I can never repay you for helping me through it and it will never be forgotton. I hope you are feeling better soon try not to give yourself one of those really long lists of things to do before going into hospital and try and rest a bit
