I know, some days just seem so busy and thursdays are a night I dont consider busy.

Today, dropped DD3 off at Breakfast club, been to work, fetched DD3 from school, had someone collect ebay item, nipped to FF and HB with kids as have no food, putting dinner in before going so could eat on return (batch cooked pie and veg), helped DH move all DD2 bedroom furniture back into position (gloss finally dry) and then nipped to zumba. Left kids doing their music and DD2 hoovering her room. Decided positions for mirror, shelves, notice board (s) etc but will put up at weekend.

Back and bath (with spa bubbles and DH) and then RELAXXXXX and breath...


Had cardigan from ebay come today but not impressed, definitely wouldnt be something I would sell, oh well, you win some you lose some.

Weekend here (or near as dammit) so lovely cool glass of wine for me.
No work tomorrow or sunday. Make that more than one glass of wine for me.

Email from ebay saying free listings weekend... hoping that means I can list again as my free listing thing at bottom of my selling page says I have none left. My utility room is bursting.

Hope you're having a lovely weekend HDK:)

I need to photograph my next lot of Ebay bits and bobs in time for next free listing weekend. I could technically photograph and list tomorrow, however need to clean/clear the house, do laundry, do grocery shop, blah blah blah as I did nothing whatsoever at all today. In fact, been in my jammies all day:p

Catch up soon X

Thanks NP. Glad had a good night. Hope you recover quickly.

Girls in music festival. DD1 came second in her group (she plays clarinet) which was brilliant as they all played amazingly, was really shocked when she got second place... so proud. Other 2 didnt do as well, but enjoyed so doesnt matter.

Tescos today, spent my £90 spend £13 off voucher - bought several christmas presents. Also used £3 clubcard voucher.

Also did a quick asda, used £6.20 worth of vouchers.

Was ebaying and nearly bought sofabed for DD2 but did a quick search and stopped at right time as only £40 more new and this one had some damage.

Still can't list so roll on Dec1st. Also no more ads to watch.

Just bought a fab 42" tv which bought with my lovely ebay money (via paypal) plus £80ish as well. Very pleased as this is our big family christmas present. Spent what had budgetted for as been searching for a few weeks.

Is going under the bed for santa when arrives but yes very excited. Just realised need to buy a new dvd player as its HD and 3d, then I need to buy a few hd 3d dvds....

Fetched a coffee table from ebayer tonight, very pleased. Looks nice and very good condition for bargain £12. Decided no point buying new at mo, as well as MFW also have bouncy children and scratchy cats. Just need a TV cabinet as still using dd1 old desk (extension created extra lounge)

Have done all the adpoints I can, its quite frustrating.

A bargain table!! We had some furniture donated to us when we moved in a mahogany tv cabinet, teak nest of tables and a pine cabinet - I sanded them all down, painted them cream and put new handles on them - everyone always asks where I got them from Cost me the grand total of about £30 for the paint and handles very MSE

We did that with the blanket box, I cant believe it then sold for £22 so many years later, it had been more colours in that time.

I suspect your titivating skills are much better than mine though!

Still looking for cheap 3d dvds, tried amazon, ebay and play.com so far. Watching a few players.

Job share been approached to go somewhere else full time, shes not keen but pressure from above has been on for ages. Fingers crossed post gets filled as being advertised at the moment, been here before and did get reprieve. Means I'd have to jack in my other 2 posts and go fulltime which isnt what i want, plus we work really well together (been job share since 2001 - like an old married couple). At least DD3 goes up to sec school in sept but would be a childcare impact till then as currently do extra jobs at weekend although my main job is the highest paid by quite a bit.
