    Thanks Happy :D

    Well I've decided to bite the bullet and get a load of listings done for this weekend - it's free listing and DH has sorted out a load of stuff so it would be nice to get it on there. We'll have to manage the packing and posting between us.

    I sold two books on amazon yesterday so that's good too :T

    Hope everyone is well :)

    Thanks for the good vibes everyone :D

    Ouch to the new hard drive though LAM, that's rather annoying!

    Have had a very chilled day today, mainly decluttering books and magazines :D

    Hi Jwil,

    You have not been on MSE so MAYBE baby Jwil is making an appearance! I can't wait for him to arrive we we can all be virtual aunties. :j

    Good luck whenever he does decide to come along - having my first child was the most incredibly exciting time - having all my kids was wonderful. :happyhear

    Get lots of rest now before he arrives and take every possible opportunity to rest after he arrives as well. :)

    :wave: hi tattycath! Nice to 'see' you. You are doing fabulously well with the ebaying, and inspiring me :) Good luck for the sales.

    Thank you Breeze Hill, I'm definitely relaxing more than I normally would. :)

    Sadly not, he seems to be as stubborn as his daddy :D We've been out on operation eviction today - had a nice day out and some walking, some bumpy roads and the purchase of a gym ball which is surprisingly comfortable to sit on. I've just had a spicy curry for dinner as well :D

    Fingers crossed he will be here soon, it's quite uncomfortable now. He will have a lovely lot of MSE virtual aunties that's for sure :D

  • :mad: just lost my post.

    Anyway as I was saying thought I'd just popped in to say :wave:and hope Junior doesn't keep you waiting too long before putting in appearance.

    Sorry not been around much OH's fall has taken it's toll (head injury) and my keyboard still not working properly. Having to type with keyboard and on-screen one. Difficult.

    Still selling bits and pieces on the Bay of E.

    Will try not to leave it so long next time
