Crikey she travels more than I did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For some time now my mum has been trying to get a council flat swap here in Northampton and 3 days ago she called me simply bursting with excitment saying she has been offered a flat (ground floor) just 2 miles from my house!!! Yesterday she drove me bonkers with constant phone calls with questions like "where is the nearest Doctors, bus route, shops" etc and the phone kept ringing and ringing...at one point I was cleaning the fish out and had to ansewer a call from her with soaking we hands for yet another question she had...later that day Derek and I took the short drive to the flat to have a look at it, and it looks something like she is living in at the moment only the area appears quieter. We dident have any keys so we could only view it from the outside but it looks ok!! So Mum has booked her National Express ticket for tomorrow and Monday we are going into town to sign the papers for it and to view the flat properly!!!!!!!
Now because of my recent activities with ebay my house resembles Steptoes Yard, as I have been sorting things from all rooms of my home to sell on ebay, and this includes my guest bedroom, which Mum uses!!! At the moment you can't see the bed for clothes, shoes, boots and hand bags so later today I am going to have to shift my jumble sale back into the wardrobe!!! Arrrggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I explained all this to mum but she just said it dosent matter, but that dosent alter the fact I am basically quite house proud, and hate my home to look like a tip!!!...Anyway she is set to arrive tomorrow at about 5pm where Derek will pick her up from the bus station!! She is going home tuesday!!
In ebay news things are awfull at the moment and so far I have only made about £40 with ebay taking my listing fees of £30 out of my paypal account today!!! Things are going from bad to worse!!! I have parcelled up the things that have been paid for so far and will send them out on Monday when Mum and I are in town sorting out the flat! Heck I got so desperate today I even listed some old Merlin Dr Who stickers!!! and other bits and pieces! But its getting very difficult to know what will sell, and what wont!! My Peggy Nisbet doll dident sell, for instance!!
Oh well I am going to have a small coffee and a ciggie before I set to work on Mums bedroom, and raid the freezer for some idea's about tomorrows lunch!!
Looking forward to bath, Port and Troika admiring tonight!!! LOL!!

Troika is very nice Vicky and a good purchase! Sorry to hear EBay is taking back more or less what you have made - a lot of people haves stopped selling on EBay now - I tend to list things on Amazon - at least you can choose your price, listings are free and % back can be allowed for in the sum you charge!
Hope your mum enjoys her stay (again)!! Richard Re: Re: Mum is here again tomorrow!!

Hi Richard!!
My annuals are going for a bit more now 1968 one is at £26 but it is unclipped and in good condition, and the Pink one is standing at £23 so I am a bit more happy with that! Thanks for the info about Amazon! I dident know they did personal sales on there! I shall look into it! Have a lovely afternoon! Vix |
