    * BOO*

    Did you miss me?

    I missed you lot. But I did a deliberate don't-do-there-anymore exercise to see what would happen. And what happened? I have spent most of today catching up on all that pesky housework I *should* have been doing over the last couple of weeks on a daily basis. So, Enough. I'm back - if you'll have me.

    My house and I can't cope without y'all!

    .. and boring you all to death with my constant ebay updates.. :D..

    Pigpen, maybe you and I could have a contest to see who can be declared the most boring on the subject of ebay updates. I'm still getting through them there maps! (And am now v. comfortably in profit - I have achieved the amount I paid for them and still have about 200 maps to go!)

    Some are going for the price I put them up at. Others seem to be the subject of bidding wars and a couple haven't even had a sniff so have been relisted. I've sold some 'privately' through people emailing asking if I have a map of such-and-such an area. The average at the moment is about £5 per map which ain't bad for bits of paper that have been lying in the loft for the last 6 years :D And I'm being careful not to swamp - I try not to have more than 20 up for auction at a time.

    Count me in. I got a bit lost last week and it really shows. Spent most of today and yesterday doing a 27 fling boogie on the garden. Now I just need to find a new home for about ten cerise azaleas - anywhere but in my garden.....
