    Just having a big mug of carrot & coriander soup made in the Soup Maker, delicious :D Lovely and smooth and really warming and filling, I'm impressed.

    To be honest wingo, Cooper has always been dreadful at going back on his lead. I could understand it if he only went out now and again, but he's out at least twice a day, so that's not the problem. Summertime is a lot better because he'll come back for a drink, but with all the snow around he's getting enough fluids licking that :(

    S. Sue - glad you are impressed with the soup maker.

    Wingo, Wingo Wingo. You must weight everything you sell on ebay. If you go to https://www.parcelforce.com/pricefinder you will be able to work exactly how much it's going to cost to send. If its too heavy you need to be using collection only and I usually put my town in the title. I rarely start mine at 99p as I am only cross if it doesn't get a decent price so I usually wait till its free listing w/e and then start at the lowest price I would be happy to accept. Remember though if you choose to put on a reserve it doesn't seem to be free to list. Also I never use expensive packaging unless its breakable of course, I use rubble bags from the pound shop. Its all down to the title I find so think carefully about what you put. If you need any help next time pm me. I am not an Ebay expert but manage quite well. Need to put some on soon as I have a cupboard of material, ribbon, buttons etc which I don't use now as my hands are not really good enough to sew much.

    Glad everyone seems to be coping with the weather OK. I have just been out to bring in the washing and a few flakes of snow fell on me but it has gone again. Done quite a few comps and think I have remembered the Times every hour too. (Timed our walk so that I didn't miss one) Going to do a bit of ironing before dinner now. Having grilled salmon and jacket potato tonight.

    Sheils, that's funny you should say that you timed your walk around the Times Comp. I fell asleep on the settee and woke up saying "we have missed the comp" but old faithful had done it for me, bless him.
