Argghhhhhh dd1 is playing up again, was put to bed at 7pm and is still not asleep! Up and down like a blooming yoyo!:mad: I need her to go to sleep so I can put some more clothes away in her bedroom!

Holly-I've given up using turbo lister as mine seems to take a day for items to show up on ebay! I just list mine directly on ebay now. Probably takes a bit longer but at least I don't loose a day!

pigpen

Daisy.. sounds like you have them set to schedule start for the next day.. mine always show up immediately!!

Holly.. just edit them.. it might be you've not run the updates recently or just that it is being odd.. I'm going to restart the pc in a sec because I can't even open my turbo lister!! It will only open once each time I turn the pc on.. if I close the program I have to restart the pc before I can open it again.. no idea why.. I think I just have a strange pc!

Tomorrows list is up now!!

hollyh

Pigpen how do i run the updates?:o

pigpen

open TL.. open 'tools' menu at the top.. and there is an option 'check for program updates'

Deep Clean Challenge
Sort through the crockery; plates, cups, bowls etc.. sling out everything that has chips and cracks.. these places harbour bacteria!!! Wipe the cupboards out before replacing what you can keep.. then find out when the next crap boot sale is and see if you can get some cheap replacements should you need them!! Feel free to get all excited and do more!! - later in the week


Not bad for an hour. Well pleased and bathroom day tomorrow is good too as thats a quick one for me and I can do after work.

Now to make a coffee cake I've been promising OH for a week, ricotta and orange scones for me to take to work and choc muffins for the kids.

See ya later

45 mins later.. I've put the shopping away but can't be bothered to make tea so I'm having some instant porridge which was on offer at Mr T's. Miserly portions though so I'm going to have a second one.
The kitchen looks sparkly now. I'm also one step nearer to getting it papered (are you sick of hearing about this 'cos I sure am sick of looking at the bare walls!), bought some value lining paper tonight and paste and I borrowed a pasting table.
I need to do a food inventory tonight or tomorrw, it's store cupboard challenge time as the food purse is bare.
off to get a cheaper quote for my contents insurance which is due next week. I'll be back tomorrow night.

Pigpen-I have checked that but it's not that cos if I list for 7 days I can see the listing in my ebay but it doesn't show up if I search for it for ages and when it does show up it has only 6 days left! Very annoying so I've given up with it for now!

rach

forgot to say, the people who i had the interview rang, didn't get the job she said it was v close and a hard decision etc etc and that the person who got it just had more relevant experience. had a little cry (silly i know) i guess i just don't take rejection well however it happens!

pigpen

I've hung up the rest of the washing.. and I have both TD's to empty and both WM's to empty too.

I want to list another 10 items on ebay.. I have about 40 pictures of items I'm yet to list so I should really get a wriggle on!!

I've decided what most of the children are getting for christmas... I just need the cash now!! lol

I have a blinding headache again.. I REALLY need my glasses!!!
