    Congratulations Jwil
    £30 is a nice wee bit of money. You are doing well on the exercise. I would need to get my derierre in gear:):) Got my ebay room re-organised over the last few days. So that is a bit of progress. Sold a reasonable amount over the weekend. No amazonia sales!! We have to keep going don't we. :):)

    No pancakes for us tonight as the new cooker is not fitted but the old one is gone (yay!). Also, I had a Chinese takeaway last night which can only be bad news on the weight loss front. :o


    Woohoo! Your excellent year that I KNOW you're going to have has started already. :j

    Thanks peaceandfreedom :)

    One chinese shouldn't make too much difference if you are good the rest of the week. Hope you enjoyed it! You deserve a celebration as your horrid old cooker is gone anyway!

    Seriously ebayqueen, I'm embarrassed about how much my legs ache today after yesterdays effort. :o That shows how pathetic I've been recently.

    Well done on reorganising the ebay room and the sales :T. I've sold nothing on amazon for ages, it's the longest I've gone without a sale I think :(

    We do keep plodding. :)

  • Hi all

    jwil - woo - well done on the win :T

    peaceandfreedom - Om nom nom to chinese takeaway :D Although i have just enjoyed pancakes :j

    LAM - how long will it be before your horses are up and about again? Am sure you're very active with them :) And a nice image of your dogs running around having fun whilst you see to the horses too :D

    ebayqueen - well done on your sales - i may have just taken 28 parcels to the post office :o it was a costly visit but really all covered by postage and packing. And an eb*y room! I am somewhat jealous :p :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Sadly the sales are to raise the money i need to catch up on that shortfall *still* rather than pay off debts - its untrue the amount of things that crop up when you've accounted for all regular things isn't it?

    Brizzle - I don't either, so I was very chuffed!

    Well after ages, I have finally sold a book on amazon! Sadly I don't get the money though as it is used to clear my negative balance from the book I had to refund due to the buyer not bothering to pick it up from the post office :mad: At least it's cleared though.
