FINALLY GETTING MY "EBAY" ROOM IN SOME ORDER!! NOT AGAIN!!

Hi ladies & thank you all for the birthday wishes last week..

I know i am always cleaning but I have to say my upstairs ebay room was totally out of control..with items spilling out half way across the house!!

SO my MISSION today was to FINALLY get it organised & the same with the room next door which has been a dumping ground for STUFF & MORE STUFF!!

I am getting there...I have placed ALL my different coloured linen in baskets...all tins I have together so as I know what I have..ALL dolls heads together..all granny blankets together..etc etc..

in between I made a few little christmas cards? & HUNG SOME lovely pink/blue/green LANTERNS....they just ADD to my shabby listings!!!??

AND I LOVE the Christmas decos...LOVE the BLUE & the PINK...soo just had to buy them as well!! not sure what will do with them...

I really have to get into gear this weekend & list LOTS of stuff!!!!!

I BUY TOO MUCH...

i think I should HAVE a shop again!!

soo have shown you heaps of photos..

PLUS one of me when I was about 6 yo..with my LATE brother...in front of the OLD HOLDEN...with HIS BIG hand around my shoulder..

FUNNY you can kind of tell if a boy is going to be big..look at his HAND!! he grew into his ears & his hands.. to be 6' 2"...!!!

MMM!!

why am i only 5'4"??.....GRRR!!!

it is a lovely precious OLD Black/white photo from the early 60's....I keep it in front of my ebay packing table..Wish we still had the OLD car...?? she was a beautiful grey/dark grey colour with i think red leather upholstery?? HOLDEN?

OF course NO seat belts back then.

bit of nostalgia amongst it all..

I have cooked him a YUMMY boiled pineapple fruit cake...(shall wrap it nicely for him later after it has cooled)..

I usually buy him heaps of history books but he says he still has sooo many to read, that i shouldnt buy him any more...

AND he didnt want any licorice/chocolate...from DARREL LEA which i also normally give him....

OKAY....!! so i had a recent photograph of my TWO GONZOS!! (my sons)...taken at the singapore grand prix...FRAMED for him...
