  • Hi everyone - aw i can't wait til he's here jwil and we'll all be virtual aunts :j Glad you are getting some time to rest and look after yourself too x

    Hope you get some good sales on the bay of e - i've had several buyers chasing me for items which were posted out on the second day after they paid - and they'd paid late at night too. I do specify how long postage will take and i was within that timeframe and marked the items as sent too - just seems a bit odd.. I'm trying to get a few items listed too - hope i get more sales - even after the bits i posted the other day i am still way behind on the catch-up i am playing :o

    Hope everyone else is good ? :)

    :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

    Nice to 'see' you again retired :wave:, sorry to hear about your OH, that sounds nasty. Hope he's better soon.

    Hope everything is well otherwise and that is annoying about the keyboard.

    Well done on the sales!

    People are weird on ebay aren't they? I always message people when I've posted stuff and people still ask me when it was occasionally!

    I've done a bit of a listing marathon for DH today, I'm probably going to be well miffed next week when it all goes out!

    I haven't really done anything for me, but may try and get some bits on this week if I'm not otherwise engaged!

    We've been out and about again today, went booting this morning, and just bought a DVD :A We've been out on a drive again this afternoon, but no signs yet. Looks like DH will be back to work tomorrow.

    Hope everyone is well :)

    Well including relists, I've got 98 items on for DH. I'm soooo going to regret that next weekend :eek: One is selling already though, so it's all good really!

    I've not put anything new on for me, just done some relists, so not expecting great things from that.

    That's me for the evening now, I didn't sleep at all last night, so hoping for a better night tonight.

    Hope you get a good night's sleep, Jwil. Maybe Junior will start making a move tomorrow, you never know! :j:D

    Thanks guys :)

    Baby is not playing :( My waters went yesterday and have been contracting regularly since 10pm last night but nothing is moving.

    No sleep = grumpy and tired and uncomfortable
