    If only bubblycrazy :rotfl: I like your thinking.

    Sometimes Missy, I don't really like it black and no sugar though :o So not very often.

    Seems DS has a sickness bug :( Hope it stays at just him and doesn't pass through the house! Last thing we need is more time off :o

    Have packed the last of the eBay items will drop them off at the post office tomorrow. When things sell at 99p it really seems a chore :o But have to keep at it I guess. I have dug out some more bits that will probably just go for 99p but I really am running out of things other than what we actually wear :o

    Going to finish up packing the lunches and go and have a shower I think. Going to try and find a freebie book I think.

    Meant to ask Hidden what size clothes/shoes are you looking at for youngest. Have you tried gumtree or eBay in your area, they often do job lots of clothes for not a lot...

    I know what you mean about the 99p sales! Very frustrating and seems like an awful lot of work for very little. Especially when's people ask stupid questions and then don't pay for ages, or not st all! Or it gets lost in the post, had all of that with the last few things I sold. But saying that, I've just taken some photos is some old gym clothes I'm going to list now! Everyone is so inspiring, I haven't bothered with eBay for ages but now I really want to do it as everyone else is!

    Youngest is 4-5/5-6 and DD is 6-7/7-8! I'm watching some on eBay but can't bid until nearer the 18th :o I can never find anything local! and I stopped in the charity shop last week and they where selling used things more expensive than are new :o

    If all else fails I might have to try and get into town properly after payday and visit primark.

    Ah that's rubbish hidden but I know what you mean about charity shops and children's clothes. Primark is where I get all ours from, or maybe matalan and also eBay. It's a shame you don't need smaller clothes as I have some 2-4 skirts and a few 3-4 dresses small one has grown out of.

    Youngest is really tall, She's 3-1/2 and in 4-5-6 and a size 9/10 shoe! DD is 6-1/2 and in 6-7-8 and only a size 11 shoe! They will be sharing soon :rotfl: That's so lovely though thank you.

    Well now I will get in the shower after a coffee :o

    There's been a really bad car accident out front so have been delayed. It was so loud it woke the kids up.. totally horrific. All the roads closed of now and it's full of emergency services.

  • Well done Missy! you know it will pay off when they have all sold! I totally recommend the new ebay Shutl delivery if you have a printer ;)

    The driver of the car at fault has run off :o :mad: They think the road will reopen at 1am depending how the injured person is. Although the newspaper has said no one is critical the police have said the person they resuscitated is a worry. Fingers crossed all are okay.

    I'm finally showered. I will list on eBay tomorrow now it's a bit late and my alarm goes of in less than 5 hours! No buses tomorrow they are striking will add a good few hours on my day in walking yawn.

    Morning Missy, thank you hope you have a lovely day too.

    I have DS home from school for the next 24 hours - hope that means he can go tomorrow :o He seems totally fine in himself so I think it might be the dairy overload he had with a friend :cool: He is going to have to come to my appointments with me today so I hope they don't mind.

    Going to make the pie now ready to just put in the oven nearer dinner time, mash and veg is leftovers from yesterday :o

    I've done the cleaning think I might have used a bit much bleach it's smelling very strong :o :rotfl:

    Beds are washed and dried I should be making them but having a cuppa first.
