:wave:Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I'm an ebay selling novice though if I start a listing say at 5 pounds is that still free????:o Any tips for me Dusty???

Yes that is the idea of free listing you can start at any price, usually only listings starting at 99p or less are free AFAIK.

Ho, I am On A Roll today.:j

Been into town for some herbal things from B00ts, got Mr LW an appointment with the optician for 7th September (the next time he's on Early shift), called in Mr T's on the way back for some bits including frozens that I can't ask Mr LW to go and get in his lunch break (they have no freezer at work to store it in), and when we got in, he did all the tops of the wardrobes as promised, and I buckled down and did the rest of today's and tomorrow's lists!:T:T:T:T:T So my Flying is all done this week!

I may have to resurrect my Toots list tomorrow, and see if there's any jobs on it that I can tackle on my own.;)

Pigpen, your ex is still trying to control you; good for you that you're strong enough not to let him do it. Hiss and boo to him (that's me using silent swear words!).

I realised this is how he rolls and I usually just back down because he is aggressive and I don't want to cause a scene.. but I was very determined to stay firm.. it is good to be told no sometimes.. I was helping him This is probably the first time I have ever.. since I was 14 years old .. said no to him.. and it will not be the last.. the first time is always the hardest..

Welcome to the world the new me!!

Not much done here today. Took DD to school and came home with all intentions of getting the house spotless and the next thing the whole house is vibrating and the most awful noise is coming from next door :eek: It turns out the landlord is having 2 walls taken down to make it more open plan (1930s terraced house with an extension on the back = very dark inside) and they were using a pneumatic drill I tried to get on with jobs, but the noise was so loud, upstairs the floors were vibrating like mad, and I just could not concentrate on anything as when they weren't drilling they were hammering and my ears were ringing and my head was throbbing. So since I had to stay home for c@sh4cl0thes to come (and they haven't :mad: I am not happy) I took a cup of coffee out onto the front step and enjoyed the sun for a couple of hours I did write a couple of lists, and did some paid work, but mainly I just stood there and watched the world go by and had a natter with the fellas when they had smoking breaks lol.

They'll be back tomorrow to finish the job so I might do that again or I might just go out for the day somewhere. I have to take DD to physio for 9am, bring her home, then take her to school and then pick her up again at 3pm (which means leaving here between 2.15-2.30pm) so I'll decide what to do when I see the weather.

Right now I'm waiting on DD getting out the bath (again) then after tea I'll help her email her dad as I'm faster at typing than she is and she gets so frustrated that I'm waiting for the day she throws the laptop because something doesn't go right!

I have just sorted through another box and have a pile of stuff to go out. Unfortunately just as much has gone back into the box, split into my stuff, DHs and ours. I think for the time being this is what I need to do and then get DH involved. All these things have been in the box for a year and we haven't used them which I know tells me something, maybe I should spend time on Jojo's thread. My first job in that room is to decide whether to keep the books I bought for my Masters degree, I know I won't need them again so it is silly keeping them...however my degree ones I am keeping as I am library for all my friends who are doing theirs at the mo and they are handy teaching aids for DH.
I am have a break until 6.30 when DH switches students so he can have a cuppa, I will start again when the next lesson starts.

ajmoney

I have DH on board with getting rid of our books apart from the music ones and any special ones, now we just need to decide what to do with them.

I should be ironing and packing but have been sat here for ages cuddling the dog and surfing. should get something done as DH and DD are out although DS is here but needs waiting on hand and foot as he has got an insect bite on his leg on Tuesday, got a lump on his leg yesterday the size of computer mouse and today the whole of the lower leg and calf is swollen down to and including the ankle. Docs have given him antibiotics and antihistamine so hopefully it will settle down quickly. Have made him cancel his day volunteering tomorrow when he would be on his feet all day as he is due to do paid work on Saturday so will have to see how it goes.

Will find my list and update in a bit as been pottering about getting a few bits done
