9 items listed on Turbolister so far - will be doing a bundle of ladies clothing though as the majority of a bundle I bought is for sale again as it doesn't fit or doesn't suit me :rolleyes: Will just add up how many items and then decide what price to list it as. Best get on... still got another 3 boxes to work through. :eek: :wave:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0

Not doing too bad to say I've been out to toddlers all morning, DS was very sweet kissing his two friends. Then my BIL just called in for a chat so have been sat around drinking tea.
Hugs to all poorlies and poorly LO's - theres so many about today.
I felt really carppy last week so there must be viruses doing the rounds as usual, both me and DS were full of colds but thankfully its passed now. I actually wondered, well hoped, if I could have been pregnant I felt so poorly but alas, no:(
Anyway, catch you later xxLightbulb moment 15th Feb 2007:doh: Now Debt Free and plan on it staying that way!
