    Hey everyone :)

    Hope you are all well, thanks for the good wishes and mothers day wishes :)

    I've been keeping busy so not had an awful lot of time for mooching on here. DH has been back to work this week so my time off officially started this week in my mind. I've been trying to achieve some stuff as well as looking after baby, and it's going quite well.

    I sold an expensive item for me on ebay, so fingers crossed that all ends well. Listed about 50 items yesterday for DH and have identified some bits for me to list. I heard it's free listing again this weekend, but haven't seen anything official yet.

    I've also been thinking about what I want to get done in the house while I'm off, mainly cleaning and clearing. I think a DDFW-style list may be in order :D

    Well baby jwil is awake again, so best get on.

    Will try and update again more regularly :)
