But then when they have no cash for credit, they wouldn't be able to contact Mooloo.

I have sorted the contact out with the family. We have a Vodafone package where they can ring me and each other, and it costs me £5 a month all tolled on my phone bill. So even if they are out of credit they can ring each other and me. (Except then they went and got other mobile phones that were not vodafone, as they were more stylish!!, but they are back on Vodafone now!).

I have just had a call from BT, and we have exceeded our download quite considerably. Apparantly thats my sons gaming! So I have had to up my broadband package to cover it! But the good side is that that will give me unlimited phone calls to uK landlines etc all the time not just at the weekends! But of course that also needs to be factored into the budget! What next!!!?????

Well with the help of Molly's daughter, I have managed to get two of my handmade bags up on ebay! yipee. We will now have to wait and see what happens. I have never ever sold on ebay before. Only bought.
So I am excited, nervous, and it will probably be the longest 7 days of my life!

Morning all,
I am so excited. Daft, both bags have a bid each! its only 99p of course, but it does mean that they have been seen!

This morning I am going to see the boys with twin2, and DGD of course.
I have to go across to the doctors before I go to collect my tablets, as I ran out of my voltarol last night.! Waiting for the doctor to sign the script!

DGD is laughing at Thomas the Tank Engine.
DS has gone to college, but I had to wake him up twice.
I have no idea what time he got back in last night. I do know that dispite what I say he was hanging around the family from hell, who now have the girl living in the homeless hostel around the corner, (where the twins were with the babies in 2009.) I am annoyed, that DS is flaunting his friendship with thm, dispite all his words, dispite all they have done to the twins and the threats to me too!
I really do not know what to say to him anymore or what to do. (I want to tell him to leave but of course thats rather drastic!).
Right time to get breakfast and then my shower,.

am so excited, there are 3 bids on each of the bags! and they are at the £5 mark! :j

We have been to see the boys today. Oh they are coming on in leaps and bounds, and looked so handsome in thier matching clothes! They were excited to see us, and DGS1 was saying Hello Granny, with a big grin, and hello DGD's name too with a huge hug and kiss for her. Looked so sweet the pair of them hugging.
How on earth am I going to tell DGD if she cannot see them again, if they do get adopted?

My sciatica is really bad at the moment, and the drive was agony!
Why did it have to shift from the left to the right leg? so annoying.
Need to rest up, and now all Iwant to do is do some more sewing, as I am inspired by my potential sales!!:D

Morning all,
Bit better night last night, but still the sciatica is not very good.
Its stay and play with DGD and her Mum today. So I have no real option but to drive, as DGD knows that its her time with her Mum.
I will stop at my parents house rather then try to drive straight home etc etc, as its only for an hour and a half.
(if they go swimming then its until 2pm so that would be worth coming home, but they havent gone the last few weeks). Twin1 will not go without twin2.
I managed to cut out 4 bags last night, in Paisley needlecord, in blues/purples and feint gold colours. I dont suppose they will fly off the shelf as the fabric is more Vintage then anythingelse. But we will see when they are made by next week. (sciatica allowing!). It took all my effort to cut them out, as I was on the floor to do it, but I have to push myself sometimes or I would not get anything done at all.

(my bags have gone up by another bid each. So we are into the £6.50 mark. I am hoping that towards the end of the week they may move a little bit more, as I would like to cover the cost of the material, and then some of my labour would be good!).

DGD needs some breakfast, she has had a glass of milk and a banana already, but that wont keep her going till lunchtime, especially if they go swimming?

My sim card hasnt arrived yet, so I am still unable to send or receive text messages. So annoyed.

vintage is very in at the moment good luck

Evening all ready!
I have been working through the pain as best as I can, and it is exhausting. DGD has been playing by the back door, with Mud Pies!!, so she has had to have her bath before her dinner!.
I managed to get the washing on the line earlier, but alas I am now unable to lift my arm to get it back in. Lucky that I have that rotaire cover on it!
The bags on ebay have gone up another couple of quid, and the other one that I added is being watched by one person. Its so exciting!
Anyway, its a good boost to my confidence and has my creative juices running. My Mum and I have so many ideas for future projects, with our own spin on things. We have sent off for some sheets of Printable cotton, so we can actually print our own pictures, that when dry, will be washable!
I am just a little deflated in the fact that I am at my limit now, and will need to rest up for the evening, once DGD is in bed, and use my heatpads and the stronger Painkillers, so I wont be able to "operate machinery", and as I have seen someone actually sew through thier fingers! I do not ever want that to happen to me!!
BF is coming to see me tomorrow, so I will not have to drive again for a few days. I hope.
Looking forward to seeing him. But then I always am. Time together is so limited, its precious.

Savvy_sewing

Well I surprised myself and after a little while with the heatpad. I continued to do a little bit more sewing last night and finished another of my bags. I put a patch pocket on the outside with a button fastening this time. But I was very slow!.
Today its got to be housework before anythingelse.
The bags seem to have found thier price now, and there has been no further movement, but we still have until Wednesday afternoon to see what happens. (Longest 7 days of my life in a while!!).

Time to finish the breakfast.
And then do the housework before it overtakes the house!

That's fantastic news mooloo. Now you have got the hang of ebay you can start listing more frequently.
