I have an enormous pile of ironing and sorting to do. As I go through it I am going to get rid of stuff that's no good.
When I've manged to get the clutter down a little bit this way I will be able to tackle it properly and empty out everyones stuff. Then I can sort everyones stuff properly and get rid of it all.
My consumables need to be consumed and I'm nearly out of cleaning stuff so I will just start using up liquid soap for cleaning other things.
I ought to do under my sink but it's a little scary at the moment.
Hmm OK now I will go and have a ciggie, make a coffee and start hauling the pile onto the sofa.
I will then sort and perhaps start ironing but don't want to be doing it for too long.
I'm back to work tomorrow night and know where my uniform is but can't find my scissors, torch, badge or any of my pens so they will have to be dug up tomorrow!

Hi all. I may be wrong but I was under the impression that it was half price listing day on thursday (gallery at normal price).
I've managed to find a link i hope this works.

Pigpen, please may I ask what's your ebay "workflow"? Do you use a special tool for lots of listings? I just do mine through the ordinary website stage by stage, it can take ages and I'd love to speed things up. Thanks in advance!
Have been in the kitchen today trying to streamline things a bit more, but there's hardly anything now that isn't in regular use...!
I'll have to find something else to tackle!0
