Weekly Flylady Thread 21st January 2008

pigpen

Mudbath.. in less than 1 year we made the best part of £6000 for a house deposit selling our junk on ebay.. incentive indeed.. I did about £3000 last year.. I started off keeping track but when the PC went t!ts up mid year and I had to buy the new one I lost the file with it all on so didn't continue so I'm trying again this year! It is enough to keep the children in school uniforms and shoes!!

HopeElizzy.. healing vibes flying to your mum and dad.. Ihope they are both mended very soon.. and don't you be neglecting yourself you'll make yourself ill!!! We can't be having that!

Right.. next batch of items to sort through..

Evening folks.

I still feel ill, but then again so do most of you by the sounds of it so hugs to you all and a lemon and honey drink and a vitamin c shot.

Same for all the poorly littlies.

Was so grotty this morning i needed DH to sit me up in bed as i couldn't physically do it myself as my back ached so much. He also had to smother me in deep heat and vicks and send me to bed with a hot water bottle last night, but hopefully that was the peak of it as i do feel slightly better than that today.

Having another mega-marking session as i have a big wedge of papers in my laptop bag that have more air miles than i do, so my mission is to clear it a bit. I'm ashamed to say there are a few weeks worth of homeworks in there, but a few sets have now been marked and the kids can have them back now to glue in their books, and i'll fling some more rewards in the good kids directions. I spend more time chasing up the ones that don't do it.

I have plans to sit in front of the telly till 11 in front of 'high maintenance wives'. DH is trying to ignore it, but he has had his eyes opened a bit just from the adverts for it, and good junk telly is ideal to mark in front of to ease the monotony.

DH is now going away for work tomorrow night and away till sunday afternoon, so will be having a nice girly pamper night i think with face mask and watch my rental DVD i think, and time on here.

Anyway, list update and back to it while i have a marking head on me. Won't feel like it tomorrow.

Ok, pigpen, that £6000 has got my attention and i've just been looking on ebay. My vintage weebles will fetch a bit - vintage for goodness sake...they were mine when I was a child...i'm not that old.

My challenge....I will put one thing on ebay tomorrow. It's the fees and postage that puts me off!

no.. I don't like those.. way too skimpy.. I like chunky ones that'll hold my butt! I'm a stomper rather than a daintily float by.. they sure as heck wouldn't do with my black jeans a little tops.

I'd never get my trotters in them.

Tutors stuff listed too.. it was only 8 things so didn't take long.. 121 things on now! .. I hope only 2 things sell!!!!!! lol and I have 4 watchers already.. you do know I'm going to bore you all stupid with my ebay updates on a minutely basis for the next 10 days don't you???
