    Evening all :)
    Well my house isn't on the market yet.
    Turns out the estate agents are all closed for Christmas now :)
    I'm kinda relieved as I was worrying myself stupid all day, obviously meant I just wasn't ready to go through with it.
    One of the 2 agents opens up again on the 29th so need to psych myself up for then :)

    I'd write down all the positive things that come with this experience, so when you worry you have the list to hand to remind yourself why your doing this, and what great things it'll bring. I used to have to do that with my degree :rotfl:

    Wish I had started this bespoke amazon lark when it first started, but I just thought it would only be a fiver or tenner, so not worth it. I have been at it the last 2 days though :D

    Never got baking done today that I wanted to do, so will be very busy tomorrow.

    That's a good idea.
    I'm hoping this is just a blip and I'll be better prepared next time.
    I know I'm getting twitchy because I know the house isn't finished.
    I just need to admit to myself it'll never be pristine (DH says we don't want a show home) so hopefully I'll just be happy when the painting is done, the flooring is finished and the skirting boards are back on :D

    Evening all,

    I've joined the "running the risk last minute Christmas turkey shopper brigade" (rtrlmctsb for short:rotfl:), does anyone have any ideas on when the reduced turkeys will hit the shelves in A or T ?

    How many peeps are in the rtrlmctsb this year ?

    Should we start a list:o
    I do try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.
    I'm just a penny short of a pound. Peace and Love.

    I've joined the 5:2 club cos mrT made me eat 1p chocolate.
