    In good news though he has done tonnes of items, so I've been listing all day.

    Thank you. I tend to get more on ebay/car boot sale, but as the season's pretty much done, I am thinking about putting my books through and see if I can clear a load rather than having them hanging around.

    Took down the jumperoo yesterday, that is being sold to a friend.

    I'm thinking of putting a load of stuff on facebook but I don't like the timewasters so can't usually be bothered with it.

    We've had a few more sales which is good. Hoping to get some more today.

    Got a visit from the health visitor tomorrow so need to try and tidy round a bit today.

    DH is still doing my head in!

    Hope everyone is well :)
