    Just catching up wannabe and you're doing so well. The fairy cakes and baking with little ones sounds like a great idea - something to do and something yummy to eat for lunches.

    Hope dla paperwork sorted soon for you. X

    Item sold on eBay for £4. I have stamps to cover postage so sent the Paypal money over to the Credit card (plus 21p) to make it an even number. Will pop it over to the post office soon.

    Smalls want Pasta bake for dinner, so going to use what was supposed to be spag bol and make it into a pasta bake as I'd defrosted it already. Plus youngest can have her long awaited garlic bread :cool:

    Statement gets produced on the 18th and then the payment due on the 4th. Hoping I have more gone by then... I'm not sure I have anything else to list though. Unless I list one of the smalls :rotfl: (Just joking before anyone calls the social :o :rotfl:)

    As the meme goes, you can’t put the smalls on eBay- you made them. That means they go on Etsy :rotfl: Xx
