I've spent the entire day organising my eBay sales and tidying this pit of a house :eek:

most items are now up for international shipping (aren't I being bold), I have 2 bids on my star wars model (yay!!), I've posted nearly all the eBay orders from the weekend, the living room looks habitable, the rabbit is eating (she stopped, again, I'm on the verge of taking her back to the vets but I do have to give her a little time on different foods first as she is notoriously difficult to feed), I've scheduled in 7 items to start Sunday at 5pm, and I've now got an hour and a half before I start this afternoon's teaching
Busy bunny.
As opposed to fussy bunny. Aka that little b****r in the garden.

Items are mounting up nicely in eBay :T I'm getting a lot of interest on my star wars model (yay), sadly I also got a lot of interEst on my Barclaycard this morning (boo)
Piano tuning today (£55) yay! It's overdue, again, but here (hear?) at last :T

Daughter safely ensconced on bus. I'm avoiding the inevitable: cleaning and hoovering :eek:

We are having new (:p) furniture and a tv delivered this afternoon!
Neighbour who is downsizing to a one bedroom flat is getting rid of his staff and doesn't want paying :T I'll get him a nice bottle of wine though

Items arriving - large CRT tv for living room to replace current one that keeps going funny and is on its last legs. 3 long but low chests of drawers for daughter's room as she is struggling with clothes storage and most of her stuff is permanently chucked in a pile on the bathroom floor
One bedside cabinet for daughter to hopefully keep her bedroom in a bit more order One very tall ikea lamp. Not sure where that's going but we need more lamps than we have so it'll find a home somewhere
Various glasses and plates
Think thats it!
Not bad for the price of a bottle of wine!!!!!
Toodles

I have new plates. And a fruit bowl. The fruit on my table can look posh now instead of the current situation: fruit sits in ovenproof dish on coffee table.
Posh, innit?

Tv and furniture next....
It's social climbing all the way, today.

ChopinonaBudget

Tv didn't fit am getting rid of it on freecycle for B. House is now cluttered to the rafters with furniture that needs dealing with but am teaching in 15minutes so it'll have to wait.

Ooooo when did I gain an extra star? I'm a stalwart now
And a blue star on eBay. It's like being in primary school again; I'm getting merit stickers :T

Weird day ahead; lots of teaching but daughter has inset day so need to keep costs down even though we have to go into town to open her a bank account as shes as piddled off with Barclarse as I am, so she's defecting to HBSC and getting online banking and debit card

Now, where did I put that birth certificate? Oh yes, somewhere safe

Hiddenidenity

Hope all is well?

I'm on the birth certificate hunt too Well no I'm sat here I haven't even looked yet :rotfl:

ChopinonaBudget

I did, I found it!! It was indeed somewhere safe after looking through all my paperwork um pile, I eventually found it where I've kept it for the last 15 years: in the "important documents" folder. Doh!

Did you find yours? Hast though movest yet?

HSBC was a wash out - small branch, need an appointment, so she's got one for half term.

Oooooo just remembered I have a load of Royal Atlas maps, pretty little things. I found them when I moved into a rented house years ago and had a suspicion they might be worth selling in a few years...
I'm not sure how much they're worth but I'm guessing £15-20 each and I have about 15 of them.
I'm keeping the one detailing the prehistoric eras, it's pretty, by eBay can have the rest

That sounds like a little gold mine with the atlases Chopin, I hope you get loads for them. Well at least a good amount, you know what ebay can be like sometimes, I have things listed and will watch out for bidders, but I am not that confident really. I used to sell a lot at one time and then grew sick of the changes and ever increasing fees, the need to always use paypal (an ebay bought company) so I took myself away for a long time, but I need to rid this house of more clutter so I am dipping my toe back in lol
