not much has been happening in my world!!

My ankle is now pretty much A ONE!! so have been back on the tennis court smashing balls and dying from the 38 degree heat last friday..

In between just listing bits & bobs on ebay in between having A BIG BIG pre XMAS clean up..

BOY my kitchen now looks awesome...changed lots of things around...& have a little PINK centre piece happening....on top of a crochet doiley I DYED!!!

changed my collection of MAMMY'S from one side of the kitchen to the other...

placed a gorgeous MAMMY cloth doll on top of my NZ magazines...!! as you do!!

So my little bit of the world at the minute is cleaning...ebaying..dyeing linen..hunting for vintage stuff...& a bit of COOKING to feed son & hubby in between... & OF course SOOTY has to have something to eat!!!

BOUGHT MY NEW DIGI CAMERA...I HATE TECHNOLOGY...

Hi ladies...well i went out yesterday and purchased my new little digital camera which i need for my ebay listings...let along BLOGGING!!

It is a great little CANON number and only cost $200.00...including my cute little pink carry case and a memory card..

BUT I do hate to admit I just LOATHE having to learn how to use a new camera...with much more modern technology than my older one of just some 2 odd years ago..

I HATE reading manuals...I hate new buttons..I LIKE what I know...GGGRRRR!!!

anyway..have been taking photos..in between ringing hubby to ask a question or TWO OR TEN!!! of course the MANS response is READ THE MANUAL!!!

SOO I DID!! or tried too in between pressing buttons galore..I think that is half my problem...I JUST KEEP PRESSING BUTTONS AD NAUSEUM!!! AND think that WILL make it work???>

IS IT JUST ME??? or are you ladies like minded??

I have listed some new things on EBAY...showing you the piccs...NOT TOO BAD!!

sort of getting there...BUT NOT REaLLY sure HOW??? maybe pressing EVERY button is the ANSWER??????????

ps...HAPPY 87 TH BIRTHDAY MUM!!!!!!!!
