    Jwil, you are always so up beat. It is lovely to read your 'ramblings'.
    I have been eb*ying a little....but very nearly got caught out on postage:eek: must weigh things before listing :o

    Mostly I have been sending heavy things to the Charity Shop.

    Hope tomorrow's weather is good for your booting :)

    I like prizes :D

    The quote is from the war era, if I remember correctly. It's my new mantra - aside from, DON'T BUY ANY MORE STUFF.

    Aww thanks o2bfree - you must miss the posts where I'm mostly moaning then :D

    Well done on the listings, it is very easy to get caught out on postage isn't it :eek:

    Charity donations are always good too, decluttering and raising money for a good cause :A

    Well we are all ready for the morning now, so fingers crossed we clear some [STRIKE]cr*p[/STRIKE] quality items!

    I've done all my relists on ebay today, nothing new on yet. I've got a few things from DH to do tomorrow, and maybe I'll do some of my stuff that I dug out this morning as well.

    I have also decluttered some magazines this afternoon and an episode of Fringe from the computer :D

    Hope you have a great car boot sale and shift loads of stuff. Pity about Freecycle, my experience has always been like P&Fs..they have always been on time, turned up etc.

    Here's to some more great weather! It was a £3.03 day in our house!!!! I am well and truly obsessed:-)

    Gosh gorgeous weather here - certainly lifts the spirits. Hope you are all feeling better today - my OH is the worst for not getting stuff - its his trade and yet our house constantly looks like a DIY project! I am dreading the big alterations this year!

    I am off to watch a local horse show - good luck with the carboot Jwil - hope its successful for you. I was going to list something on ebay and then found something I fancied for £1.99 and have bought it :o.

    Have a fab sunday whatever you are up to :)
  • Morning Jwil

    Sorry to hear about your OH car breakdown. Hopefully its nothing too serious. Hope you have a great day at the bootsale and get rid of that microwave. :)
