Lynz - :grouphug::grouphug: We're here. Look at what you achieve, don't look at what never got done.
Moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do so take a deep breath, breathe out slowly and tackle job 1 then take a break
Works for me.
I've just logged onto ebay to have a looksie and already we have 3 things selling :j They're all books so I'm happy as they'll be easy to package up:D...not so sure about some of the other items we've listed :think: At least the mountain bike is a local pick up :rotfl: They finish Sunday night at 7.30 and then whatever doesn't sell will be listed until for 10days, anything still not sold (and not re-wanted) can go to the local cat charity shopCreeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
:rotfl: MY OH has just come on MSN from work to ask me how to use our webcam to take still shots....he is an IT technician in a school and brought our webcam home so he could work out how to use it. :rolleyes: Apparently he tried to do it last night and again this morning and couldn't figure it out :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: It took me less than 1 minute (once I'd found the software as it wasn't in the start menu :rolleyes: ) to remember and say "you do this, this and this" :rotfl::rotfl: Men! :rotfl:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0
