    Does anyone know if I can relist stuff that didn't sell for free the other weekend, or do I have to do completely new listings to take advantage of the free listings offer?
    you can relist them - I always save my unsolds for a weekend like this ;)
    might have to do them individually though!

    not doing too well. Started spotting with rain, got two items in and then starting lashing down - I squealed and ran in, leaving stuff on the line! Now it is (I hope) drip drying...

    kitchen is now tidy but nothing is clean - I seem to be overwhelmed by the task...

    Hey all

    Im still ripping apart my bedroom, uncovering more mounds of dust.... hoovering out nooks and crannys which have been dusty since, well forever...! Ill be so glad when its done.

    Two lots of tat from Ebeast have been collected and paid for, and another two items have been paid for by the same buyer, but they havent responded to let me know when they want to collect... Another bag for the CS has been filled and put straight in the boot.

    Am off back upstairs...

    :D I will declutter my house and debts :D
  • Well, we had bacon banjo rolls this morning again (chucks one over to Seafarer's if she's listening)

    Then, out and about...
    DD's birthday cheque from GGDad paid into HSBC (excellent shelter from the cloudburst as well),

    More stuff for the fishies has been purchased.

    House of Fraser didn't have the kettle I wanted to check out after all. :(

    Yo Sushi was heaving, so Minion was upset we couldn't go there after I had promised.

    However, she perked up when I said she could try kickboxing and we went and checked out the current prices of gloves and small hand weights to help her with drums (and me with bass) - we'll get the weights next week.

    We have tons of vine tomatoes - about 3kg - for £2, cucumber for 50p, spring onions for 30p, a cucumber plant and another tomato (Gardeners' Delight, as the ones I have grown aren't very robust) plant for £1.20 for both, all from the market and a whole chicken for £3.50 from the butcher for tomorrow and what appears to be lots of potatoes in the garden waiting to be furtled out :D


    Several courgettes starting to swell in the veggie patch :D:D:D

    A bunch of happy fish flitting around a nice, clean tank.

    WM x1
    DW x1


    And we have decided to go to the local Japanese restaurant for dinner, to make up for not going to Yo Sushi for lunch.


    I shall worry about getting more canes for the veg, clearing out the rampant Mizuna and all manner of other garden related things tomorrow, assuming this sunshine stays here now.

    Oh, and I am two sizes smaller than most of my clothes now. :cool:

    Been awol for a couple of weeks with report writing and schooly stuff and a play to organise too. Pressure off a bit now so going to sit down tonight and make my own listy for next week. Need my list to fit in with my normal working week better i.e. not be trying to do hoovering on a day when I am only likely to be able to do it at 9pm!

    House is currently a bit less cluttered in some ways (been through ds's clothes and recycled to charity shop) but then friend gave me 5 bags of next size up for him so feel like I'm back to square one - but at least I won't need to buy him much for the next year or so:T

    Managed to do the bathroom today and do a tidy up of my bedroom. Also, I've cleared out the car which I've been meaning to do for ages so I'm pleased about that.

    Just getting ready to go out now - M&D are taking me out to dinner.:D So that should be nice.

    They'll be here in about 40 mins so I'd better finish getting ready. Just a few last touches of make up and then get changed and I'll do a quick lounge tidy while I wait for them.

    Have a nice evening everyone. See you all tomorrow.

    P.S. hope you've managed to stop blubbing today Pigpen x

    evening all :hello:
    managed to get the whole of downstairs sorted before "THE" visit of DD and SO, table cloth ironed and bread made :j

    'He' said he loved my home and the garden was just the sort of garden he would like to have :j so I think we managed to make the right impression, anyway he took us for lunch :T

    Hope things are a little calmer in the Pigpen household :)

    Do I need to eat it :o
    Can I afford the calories:eek:
    have I checked for a lower calorie version:T
