    Mmm facials :p Glad you enjoyed it Mary. Eyebrow shaping is great too, I find it makes a big difference when the salon does it (something I only treat myself to VERY rarely!)

    Good luck Sazzle and everyone else this weekend :D

    I was hoping to have a few new summer clothes *IN* today, but I've come back from town empty handed!

    I had last year's summer dress listed on ebay (no bids) which I've now taken off auction, because I was so horrified at the awful summer dresses in the shops, that I think I'll try to have this one altered to fit :rotfl: (Yes I know, a waste of 5p...:p)

    I wish I was handy with a needle and cotton myself but I'm rubbish! I wish some of you crafty types were local to me, I'd be so happy to help with your decluttering in exchange for a little needlework!

    missyg, rather than take it off, you could just change the title, description, photo etc and list something else (not that you have anything left I guess :rotfl: )

    FFM :)

    I should have thought of that FFM! Mind you I was in such a hurry to remove it in case a bid appeared!

    The ones in the shops are horrible - all patterns, buttons, frills.... yuck! (Sorry, not my taste at all!)

    So - one item rescued from ebay but other than that, nothing in or out today! :D

    What does it need doing with it to make it fit??

    Didn't do much yesterday as I was post-migraine so felt drained.

    ITEMS OUT: (well almost!) The 3 bags for charity are still waiting to go but I got another empty charity bag pushed through the door yesterday so I am contemplating whether I should drive to the charity shop this weekend or wait for the collection on Wednesday. :confused:

    EBAY: I have bids worth £20 and 37 watchers!! :T
    3 biggest items will be sold so I am well pleased with that.
    Had two enquiries for Buy It Now but said "no" as I have no idea what to ask for them! One of the bidders is in Suffolk and I am in Lincs so as it is a "pick up only" item I hope they have read the description! :rolleyes:

    ITEMS IN: No items, other than groceries, in this week BUT I did place a Littlewoods order last night which will come next week. :o Curtains and duvet for my newly decorated sons room and some clothes for me - in my defence, they are all sale items! :p:D

    Probably won't get much done today as Hubby is out playing golf today so I have my two boys to entertain. May have a go at tackling the garden. :eek: Does garden rubbish count as clutter? :confused:
    :heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

    It certainly does! We put 15 bags of cut grass out for the recycling people last Friday and our garden looks a LOT less cluttered because of it! And we threw out about 100 dog poos that were scattered across the lawn :eek:

    Erm... something to stop it being so "low down" on the bust (shorten the straps or add a bit of material where the V-neck is so it isn't so obscene!) & nip in at the waist for a more fitted look. I do have someone I can ask so I should be OK :D Quite glad I kept it now, it is so much nicer than the dresses in the shops.

    Hi Clutterfree I hope you are feeling much better now. Well done on the ebaying so far! I don't see why garden stuff shouldn't count...:p

    I have no bids yet on my ebay listings and only 2 watchers - early days I know but maybe £30 was optimistic :rotfl:

    Well, managed to list the majority of my OU course books, and all the wedding stuff on ebay.

    Sadly, I wsn't at home for the discounted listing day as I was working in Belfast, never mind.

    I have some more to do later today.

    MiL and FiL are coming over tomorrow for a couple of days do I have guest rooms to sort out!

    It takes soo much time listing though, I have certainly got more practice to do before I can get up to Pigpen and missyg's speeds!!!
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
