    Oh.. Next sent me an 'extra' today.. in addition to my shelf unit!! I am pleased though because we got the trousers and jacket hubby has been waiting for for ages.. the jacket to go with the trousers he has had 3 weeks and the trousers to go with the jacket he has had 2 weeks!

    I have a rather pretty dress.. and why do they never send me anything I would actually wear?? Which is my next ebay batch.. I have 18 things ready to go on next time.. :D

    Best go fold and put away the laundry.. and do me a binbag dance..

    I took a carrier of outgrown stuff to nursery today and a bag of empty boxes for craft modelling.. and my house is still overflowing!

    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
