Morning :wave:

Bit dull here this morning but according to the weatherman it'll get sunnier as the day goes on. Which means that the car has half a chance of being washed this afternoon. First time since I bought it last August!:o Car washing is not my strong point!

Had a good afternoon/evening yesterday. Went on an unexpected food shop yesterday afternoon with a friend. Normally I take a list but kind of had to do it 'blind'. Did quite well though and didn't buy anything that I won't use.

Took Miss Tag to the fair last night for a couple of hours. Did the Twister and the Waltzers (she loves the Waltzers) Then she decided she wanted to go on the Miami Ride :eek: Guess who had to put on a brave face I don't mind fast, spinny or even upside down but slowish high rides are a different matter.:eek: Bit of a thrill seeker is Miss Tag. Still she's got another 'big ride' under her belt now. Had to draw the line at the Rota Disco though. Think that would have been a ride too far for her.:rotfl::rotfl:

Toots - Hello :wave: It's great to be back.
Puddy Tats are fine and soooooo funny. One brought me an egg yesterday. Looks like she's been in a crow's or magpie's nest I would guess, as it's quite large.

So flying wise - I think I might just do my 'Every Other Dailies List' today. Previously known as my 'Normal Household Dailies List'
I'm a bit time restricted with work and business and the gym :eek: at the moment. So I need to be kind to myself and keep everything achievable. A minimum of Level Ones and possibly Level Twos each day, along with my Every Other Dailies List is manageable I think.
We'll have to see...................

Right off to find my list then.

Don't forget you have 100 free lsitings per month if start price is 99p or less per private seller

DH sold his first item recently and allowed them to set the start price at 99p, no reserve. It sold for £100+ and then a few weeks later they took £10.51 from our Paypal account. He asks if this is correct? Thanks

Yes you have to pay a final fee, usually around the 10% mark, when you go into your seller account there should be an option to view your invoce.

Owee - for Miss A - hope it's feeling better now!

DD1's bus trip went well - we went for a cuppa in Costa then she and her sister pottered for a bit and then caught the bus home. I decluttered an enormous amount of hair - and am VERY pleased with the result!

DD2 thinks I look like a bloke though.

Hairdresser was absolutely right though - my hair is too fine to be long, so I have his version of a slightly longer Judy Dench!

Hi all flying folks..

Very busy here.
I have not had time to read the fred but want to leave this nice little 'bag for life' of hugs, love and spoons by the door here so please help yourselves and if you take the last one please take the bag shopping with you :rotfl:

Work is going well here. Did 3 days at 6 hours a day last week and managed ok-ish. Few moments when I felt tensions rise but I am much more mindful of them and take a deep breath and put it back into perspective. Same hours again this coming week and then maybe picking up to 75% of my hours if all is good (which it is so far).

My man came over yest and we were together for the first time since feb 12/3 so not much got done and I am a very happy (with a tinge of I am missing him) today.

Keeping reasonably on top of things house wise. The flying on weds helped and today I have;

Done washing (now in dryer as it is misty and wet here)
Done binbag dance and emptied all bins
Cleaned out and refilled cat litter tray
Tidied bedroom
Finished fixing of cousins virus infected laptop

Next here is an early lunch/late brekkie of cousins duck eggs and toast and then time to hit the books.

Think maybe I should be marked down as a temp lurker/temp poster till I manage to get back on top of work and study and balancing those with flying as well.

Anyway love, hugs and spoons to you all
Sarah xx

morning all, well i didnt get on yesterday as well as should have done , got a bit way laid baking and making curds - so that dreaded hotpot of a linen cupboard is still looming! - you can see i'm sooooooo keen to get stuck into that one, strange how i'm looking at things thinking must do that - must do this, so far this morning have cleaned the fridge and taken the washing machine drawer out and scrubbed it - boak! its a wonder the clothes come out clean! am now doing a near empty wash with soda crystals to try and get the rest clean - have been using liquid washing powder (?) for about a year and think the machine may be getting a bit bunged up and yukky.
- Saturday
Hotspot -
[STRIKE]kitchen corner[/STRIKE]

sunday - hotspot
Linen Cupboard - i must, i must, i must!

Dailies/extras
washing
Ironing
[STRIKE]Bathrooms quick swish[/STRIKE]
Vaccum the stairs (dread that job!!)
run round living room/downstairs with duster and vaccum.

oh well piddling down with rain here so the washing will have to go in the tumble drier - vowed not to use again after getting a £500+ leccy bill on Friday but needs must! at least gas not too bad only underpaid by £70 so am relieved at that,

onwards and upwards - catch you all later - have a great day

I was advised by an engineer that machines prefer powder, my answer is to add a scoop of soda crystals to my whites loads and towels, they come out extra bright and my machine appears happier, hth.

Also worth remembering that ebay take around 10% and paypal 5%, so around 15% fees in total.
