Eb@y drives me mad :eek:
8 items listed - I thought it was 7 but can't count.
Fingers crossed it brings in a few £.
I admire all of you who list regularly

I LOATHE ebay - I either do really well or really badly with people arguing about postage. One package went missing from my last batch which was v frustrating as it was a French buyer - not going down that route again, ebay with language differences - even when I translated to French we still had issues ..... and it also takes forever to do !
Lasagne done, one ready for tomorrow, one cooling to put in freezer after being cooked for 20 minutes a la Tilly - I like that tip.
I think I might make a stew and some soup, I am working full time in Sept so have deep cleaned most of the house with our wardrobe and kitchen to do and am trying to stock up = might do meatballs as well while I am at it.
Loving your tip about planning for a month worth of cooking - this is v good although has gone slightly to pot over the summer!

The only good thing about is when it doesn't sell it is easy to relist!

Evening GG, Tilly Olympics taking place on Wednesday morning - DS has made a banner for the start - no banner for the end, maybe he thinks we won't make it! He has also decided we should start at 7am, so that he can have breakfast by a lake :eek: no, I don't think so. I suggested he had lunch instead :rotfl:

Good luck with the eBay thing Tillie - it gets easier the more you do!
I need to go off to the post office later - my parcel bag has never been so full - I will look like Santa Clause and I feel pity for anyone who might be behind me in the queue!1 -
Thanks LB. I have the next set of stuff ready to go but more winter clothes, so I will wait a while.
