Mum2one you are doing really well with all your selling and setting up accounts. I wondered how the local FB selling works, so people come to your home or meet you somewhere? Was it an unusual photo frame?

Miss H's breakfast sickness. I wonder if that is similar to me in that I don't eat anything until after 11 am. I had a lot of problems with stomach and vomiting and the doctor said it was because I have sinus blockages affecting the stomach acids. As I can't tolerate nose sprays I occasionally do inhalations as get dizzy after them.

With the facebook sellers group, on your home page there be a list of suggested groups, click to become a member, someone approves and then your up and running.
Its just normal stuff that we've been clearing, the photo frame was a unwanted xmas gift, woudln't have cost more than £5, cameras were old digital ones. Basically anything goes on there, sometimes you have to bump your items up, as theres no search facility, - but pretty much weve sold 75% of stuff put on.
You can either drop it off at the persons house, or collect from you - you put in the listing collection only or delievery only - personal preference. There no commission, no posting, so worth a try.

Got Miss Hoodie in at GP on Thurs so have a word then, - it started before Xmas - cheers thou ask the doc . xx

I dont know if this is any good for anyone else - but our local cinema chain (Cineworld) has a new promotion on a Thursday - Take 2

A film thats been out for a while - you can have the normal price ticket (£7 for an adult) or you book the take ticket - £11.10 (or £10 if you sign up to cineworld site for free) that gives entry for 2 adults, 2 small drinks and small pop corn - all in for the £10 price.

hi all

It's annoying when the posts are deleted Katiehound, I did it last week, thank for your Sainsbury's info.

Mum2one, thanks for telling me about the FB selling.

I nearly gave in and went to the pub because the texter was going, but managed to avoid it. I'm relieved because I'm determined to get everything done I need before I venture back there, did a number of necessary things today both at home and out, shopping, finances. Yesterday the back door got stuck, can't remember if I wrote about that, luckily I was inside at the time, got it sorted. Today had to go outside again as the plastic I pinned up yesterday to cover the gap where the summerhouse doors should be (the broke last year) had started to come away and needed repinning. The house is like a Chinese laundry the amount I've done. Tomorrow have more financial things to do - filing, updating expenses, redoing folders and especially - finding the important papers I've lost!!!

Also posted a birthday card. So next occasion is parents anniversary.

I've got a blank card in my stash which is red roses in a heart shape - will this be suitable for them - or do you think it's more like a Valentine?

The card sounds like it could be used for either Anglea.

Angela - the card sounds lovely for an anniversary card - roses are for love - anniversary celebration of marriage - marriage is love - job done. xxxx

Thsnks for the headsup on the cineworld offer mum2one As the 3 children are now all adults sounds even better than them going in with their student id.

Hi everyone


Stayed at my dad's last night as he hasn't been feeling too good. Going back home today though and hoping one night of someone being there with him might help. He is mostly just lonely but wont move nearer to me and cant stay here permanently. We moved his bed room downstairs yesterday so he wont have to tackle the stairs.


Not done much on the sewing front really, just been altering some clothes that were too big for me and made them fit. I will have to make a start soon on getting some new stock mad up for my stall and start on some gifts for next year too.

DH is home! Thanks for your good thoughts. Long road ahead but things are heading in the right direction

Hi all

Good news Sugar Spun, so pleased for you !!!

Thanks for the feedback on the anniversary card.

Rufus, sorry to hear about your dad, will he miss his surroundings if he moves closer to you?

Sorry, but you're going to get posts on here from me for a while about wrestling with my mind not to go out. It's nearly been 2 weeks now and I'm close to giving in.

As I've started on my financial makeover I really hope I can continue until it's finished. Not sure waiting until I've decluttered the whole house and lost weight is going to be feasible as progress is slow as I'm spending too much time online. The finances are the important part.

I just had a quick go on the excercise bike as the kettle was boiling and looked round the living room - clutter hell at the back of the sofa - all my craft stuff, dolls houses etc. I stopped doing crafts few years back yet can't seem to part with anything.
