Sounds like you have all been busy - well done everyone!
Need to tackle the filing today - its horrendous and is stopping me getting stuff done now, so has to be done TODAY!
I am working from home the rest of the week, which means I will get the chance to get stuff done.
Last two payers on ebay have paid up so I need to get those parcels off.
One of my previous ebayers has said their item hasn't appeared so it looks like I will have to refund them. What a pain!
Pigpen I continue to marvel at your ebay money-making levels, you obviously have far more appealing c**p than me to get rid of!!!! Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!0 -

DD2's school uniform
