    Hello Mrs Upside down Bear, you are v busy I think. Usually making me feel welcome.

    I have spent the last few hours posting 9 items of clothing on fleabay. Let's hope someone buys something. I paid a fortune for them and I am letting them go for a pittance. I wish I hadn't wasted all my money when I was young:(. No more wastage for me and I would like a clutter free bedroom wardrobe by the end of the summer. Any money raised is going to the kitchen fund.

    I have done enough for today. Plenty more to do over the next few days.

    Hope you sell lots on fleabay :money:
    I wish I hadn't wasted so much money as well but I can't change the past - just try and be better in the future. I'm mostly succeeding :cool::D

    Thanks to the inspiration I have received from one of my partner's in crime (Mrs Upside Down Bear) I have mowed grass in back garden. It takes ages!
    I have also posted another 5 adverts on fleabay. So far only one watcher! Please let someone buy as I need to make some money and I can get some wardrobe space back.


    Ladies, do you know how to photograph black dresses effectively? they don't seem to come out properly in photos so I haven't sold any black dresses and will probably give them to Susan's dog charity raffle as a prize.

    I plan on staying in and resting today but do have to make a visit to the post office to fleabay an item. I do have ironing to do in garden with nice classical musak.

    .

    try putting up a white bed sheet and photographing near a window, with natural sunlight, put the dress on the white sheet that should help.
