Glad you had a nice day, Jwil, we had a good day here too. I got lots of nice presents which I'm very pleased with and all the kids were delighted with their haul as well.

I took over the cooking of the Christmas dinner and it was delicious. Spent a nice evening watching TV and chilling, and plan to to much of the same today.

DDFW, what a shame you are unwell - you stay curled up on that sofa and get better soon.

Hope everyone enjoys a nice restful few days over the rest of the festive season.

Hi jwil - nice to hear you had a lovely day and a lovely walk too - even if you had to break back in :eek: - was it last year that you got the kindle for chrimble?

I had overall a lovely day filled with nice food and lovely presents - the only disappointing thing was i was a little poorly - and today i'm alot poorly _pale_ I am just grateful i wasn't too ill to enjoy the day to be honest :T And am now curled up on the couch with the heating on full I actually think i've got 2 bugs as the symptoms are so odd to have together - a full on bad throat, a cold, achey body, blocked sinuses etc. And a very upset tummy :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: oh well i'll just stay curled up for today i think. Typical to get ill when i'm off work though - a sign i've been doing too much i think. Never mind.

Hope everyone is well and enjoyed a lovely xmas xx

Yes, I got the Kindle last year, still :smileyhea it

You do need to make sure you look after yourself and take care x

Glad you've had a good Christmas as well peaceandfreedom, snuggling around watching TV is pretty much what we've been up to as well.

As I mentioned, we've been having a relaxing couple of days watching TV and DVDs. As a result we've managed to declutter a few DVDs which we've watched and now will put out for sale. DH has been tackling his huge pile of papers and magazines and got rid of a few.

He's also cleared out much of the front room so it looks almost clear. It makes such a difference. I keep saying how much I like it, and it should stay that way, but somehow I doubt it will.

The other day I rearranged the boxes in the extension, so it looks a lot more spacious and clear out there. It's funny how much a difference a bit of restacking can make!

We are meeting friends for dinner tonight so that should be nice.

I went into town this morning as I had some Christmas money, and I've decided I was looking for a bag and some trainers. I mooched around pretty much every shop and came back without a bag or trainers. I hate shopping :mad: I'm not into handbags and stuff, or fashion, but I know in my head what I want. I couldn't find it anywhere, and so was really fed up. I just want a nice bag that looks reasonably smart and carries lots of stuff. Nothing shiny or with silly tassels or fancy bits. I'm so not a girly girl :rotfl:

Anyway, I did spend some vouchers in boots and came away with lots of smellies to last me throughout the year which means I don't have to buy them for a while :T

Shocking nights sleep last night, so am shattered today.

I sold a few bits on ebay last night and a book on amazon so will be out packing and posting those today as well. I'm going to try and get a few bits listed, to make a start on that.

Hope everyone is well!

Hi Jwil,

Good to see your ebay and amazon sales are still going strong. :beer:

I have had a very lazy couple of days and it'sbeen great. I do plan to do SOME useful stuff today though.

A bit of housework and a bit of paperwork (need to bill people or I won't get any money in!) and a bit of general messing about on the laptop.

I got a Kindle for Christmas and I have to say I'm loving it already, it's great. :j Any tips on using it Jwil would be most welcome, seeing as you're an expert.

Have a great day everyone.

Have a good day

Glad Ebay/Amazon are doing well :Dx

Glad you had a nice break peaceandfreedom, and yay to the Kindle! I'm not sure I have any specific tips as it's generally straightforward, but if you have any queries just shout. Calibre is a free program to download which you can use to convert pdfs and other books in the wrong format. Hope you enjoy it!
