    well done on the audition but bad news about the car. hopefully once the money is spent it will behave for a while.

    Thanks guys :)

    I didn't manage to achieve anything this weekend. Poor little man is still not right, and Saturday and yesterday just wanted snuggles. It just seems to be cold after cold after cold. DH and I are both feeling rough too, so it's very hard work.

    DH sold a load yesterday on ebay so there's a lot of packing to do there. I dropped a load off this morning, and must try and get the rest done tonight, so I don't use up my afternoon tomorrow.

    I had an email that it's free listing tomorrow for 5 day listings so am going to try and get some stuff on.

    Hope everyone had a good weekend :)

  • I hope you all start to feel better soon.

    Thanks for the heads up on ebay free listing, I have a couple of bits I need to list.

    Take care PWPS.x.

    Thanks penny :)

    I managed to get about 18 items on yesterday and did 18 relists too. :T

    I've got one non payer on my account, and one on DH's too :mad: Why do people do it!

    Tomorrow I'm going to try and get a load of 99p listings done on our joint account.

    I was looking for something this morning, and found a couple of bits that should sell quite well that I didn't realise I had :o. I might try and put them on tomorrow as well for 10 days so they get maximum exposure.

    I really need to get on with it, so I know what I've got and where, and so that everything has a place!

    Shattered! Just waiting for the next 5 mins to pass so I can go home.

    Mentioned to some colleagues today about how I hadn't had a full nights sleep since baby jwil was born and they were really shocked. Is it that unusual for a child not to sleep through the night? He's actually got worse as he's got older :( I'm just kind of hoping that he will grow out of it eventually.

    How old is he now? And how bad is the night? Are you breastfeeding?
    I have a sleeper,she likes her sleep. But I believe it's all down to her personality, she likes her routine and she likes to be left alone for 12 hours. And as a good mummy I respect that;).

    Hey Kavics - how are you and your baby girl. I think of you both often.

    JWIL - my DD1 was terrible for nearly a year - he was a colicky baby - was allergic to anything that wasn't soy and then suddenly settled just after his first birthday.

    My dogs now act like babies and want letting out so I never get a full nights sleep anyway :o
