Well done with the ebay sales -I normally sell 1 out of 8 so dont spend a lot of time putting them up but am using Magic/Music Magpie for CDs and DVDs and am putting book on Amazon.

Sorry about more questions but is there a site for upcycling?

Karonher, I found you on C and added you x

Had a bit of an eventful afternoon. My Son rang and asked if I wanted to go to see my Dad for a couple of hours so I got ready, went out and shut the front door, went to lock the mortice lock with the key and it wouldn't turn round. I tried it a few times but still wouldn't budge so thought I would open the door via the yale lock and see what was happening with the lock and it wouldnt open at all. The mortice lock must have turned and then jammed. I was getting myself in a state as didnt know how I was going to get in. Son arrived and half hour later he managed to wiggle the lock enough to get it to unlock, then went to open with the yale key and that lock was stuck. I couldnt believe it. Managed to get in after a struggle, he found that where the dog was jumping up behind the door hearing me outside he had been hitting the yale lock and it had come loose so he tightened that up but the mortice lock has had it. I need to go and buy a new one tomorrow and see if I can change it.

I was a bit wary of leaving the door without the other lock done up but as Son said, anyone who tried to get in my door with the dog behind it must be mad. He sounds so vicious from outside and you can tell he is a big dog.

After all that hassle we had a nice afternoon, picked Dad up and went to the seaside for an hour, sat at a cafe with some chips and a hot drink and had a natter. Was nice to see them as they hadnt been round for months.

Anyway, I am having an early night so I can get up and sort things out tomorrow, I need to post my parcel off as well.

Night all xx

I forgot S&S and was upstairs in bed on touchpad and have had to come down and do it! Grrr! Did tissue yesterday! Thanks Elysia! I have spent all afternoon and evening sorting the heaving cupboard of presents and swapping my Winter and Summer wardrobes! I now feel really sick for some reason so going to bed without catching up properly sorry all!


Hope all you lot are okay and money making! Its like a monsoon here a storm is brewing! Night night! x

Well done Michelle - You're doing brilliantly. I've five product suggestions added to dooU but no chance to write them this week I expect.

Emma - well done on your sale - every penny helps.

I hope you feel better in the morning Legend. I've not done Tissue, I logged in but they had problems on the site.

Night all - see you tomorrow.

Good morning! its freezing today! cant remember if I said the heating started working..but it did! magic, had a bath last night and it was DIVINE. I'm waiting for the postman. Managed to miss 3 parcel deliveries last week so arranged for them to be delivered today, I know what two of them will be but the third is a mystery! I'm guessing its more of the toys I won, how exciting, it feels like christmas when a win arrives lolol.

I've got 18 rows left to knit on the blanket, I'm determined to finish it today! My plan is knit a row, do something else, knit a row, do something else etc etc spread it out a bit because it is BORING knitting it now! I'm on the last colour change now. I dont even know if it looks ok because its scrunched up on circulars at the moment... could cast off and it could look horrendous (I will cry if it is...but still use it haha)

Going to knit 1 row and do my first round of survey sites for the day.

oooh also, when you work out the totals earned for the month, do you count redeems that havent come through yet (still waiting for a voucher) or do you only count them when you have actually received the money?

Legendmum - hope you feel a bit better today!
