Must try harder!

September finances sound good.
Pity you didn’t get out for the last days holiday before Christmas but if the weather was anything like it was here there wouldn’t have been much pleasure in it.  We went to a Golden Wedding Anniversary tea party and the motorway was horrendous with standing water and torrential rain 😳

Thanks @milann. Motorways are scary in torrential rain, especially when the windscreen wipers can’t keep up. I hope the party was good. 
I have plenty of watchers on my bags, but no offers and it’s the final day, so I’m not sure if they’ll get sold this time. I should really have done more sorting and clearing this week, but wasn’t feeling it. I need to give myself a shake!
Today will be another cat litter expedition as we managed to click and collect some smaller bags (but not in the quantities to equal the 4 big bags we wanted) 😖 I guess we should also get some food shopping for next week too. Not very exciting…but strictly tonight, so that will be good 💃🏻 🕺🏻 
I hope you all have a very happy Saturday 📚🍫☕️

Remember, if it is an auction, most people won't bid until the very last minute in the hope of getting a bargain.  There's still hope for them to sell, especially if you've got lots of watchers.  We often go from selling nothing an hour before, to having sold several items once the auctions end.

Oh jwil I’m so confused. There has been bidding between 2 people overnight and the total is 10 x the starting bid and 6 x what it cost new 10 years ago! It just feels too good to be true. Maybe it’s a rare picture that they need for a collection, but it feels really OTT and I daren’t believe it’s going to go through 😮
the other 2 have a few watchers, no bids and barely 30 mins left.
in other news, we went for our drive, dog and I, and filled up with diesel. Now we are trying to finish a jigsaw, but I swear she’s being no help at all! 

I hope you all have a lovely Sunday 🍫☕️📚

I bet your dog is more help than my friend is when I have a jigsaw on the go.  Somehow whenever he is here pieces seem to go missing.  We did one at his house some time ago and I found one piece in a puddle on the drive.

Ooooohhhh……exciting. Hope it goes through 🤞👍😃

Sounds like my cats!

Sadly not. It sold for an astronomical amount and the buyer messaged to ask for pictures sending to an email address and international delivery! It was in pigeon English and felt so dodgy. You can’t ask for specifics after purchase and everything was already shown. I contacted eBay and they said I’d need to cancel the sale stating it wasn’t international delivery and I’ve had to relist. Annoying as I’ve lost the person they were bidding against 😖 I’ll never see that level of sale in my lifetime …sigh.
