    Good Morning Everyone :)

    Happy St Paddy's Day!!!! :D

    I think i have caught up on my sleep now, am feeling quite well rested anyway :)

    So how did everyone get on with their Blastin Through Challenge??

    I managed to do quite a lot of ebay listing and got the front garden tidied up which is brill cos it has been needing attention for far too long :D

    I also have a couple of things i didn't manage to get done this week - The PPI application and finishing my knitted elephant :o never mind, i will add them to my daily list until i get them done LOL! :D

    Today and probably tomorrow are going to be major ebay days with it being free listing - The plan is to list as many things as my accounts allow which is 310 :eek::eek::eek:. I do have quite a few listings prepared and some things already listed so its not just as huge a task as it might sound but still its going to take all my motivation to get it done :p

    I am sure i will get some other wee bits and bobs done in between listing so will add them as i go along :)

    Hope you all have a Fabbydoodabby day :D, its a lovely sunny morning here - hope its the same you you all xxxx
