Well, you gootta give it 'a go', haven't you?
I mean, there are ALL these ways THROWN at us to 'make money'!! (Supposedly...)
Of course, THEN I almost feel pressured to DO something about it!
So, there are 14 items ending today- as I've been reliably 'reminded' ... by E-Bay ..
We all need a bit of a clear-out now and again - and now seems like as good a time as ever ...
Fingers crossed - that's YOURS - as I know 'you'll' want the best for me! ;-) (lol)
I'll let you know if ANYTHING sells!

SO true .... REAL friends are very, very precious ....
At the end of their life no one looks back and regrets that they made too many friends.
Except perhaps on FB. ;-)
Except perhaps on FB. ;-)
Do you think I'm JOKING???! No .. It REALLY is his ...
Oh no, I'm certainly not joking! .. I thought that this would be the ONLY photo I could take .... But, wait until tomorrow - and I'll post the photo of Clint Eastwood - with me!
:-)
What??!! No diamond? ..........
Well, I am SHOCKED that no diamond ring was presented to me today .. (Though, not COMPLETEL;Y shocked, you understand... )
Funnily enough, I cheered myself up by buying some gorgeous wallpaper from this great site that I found ... Only £21.95, I thought? Yes - so I've ordered 8 rolls - and I'll change my surroundings, instead!
Awww ..... little things please 'little minds' ... But that's not me, surely?!
Oh well .... Until the diamond 'arrives' - I'll just have to buy some Polycell - and get cracking! ;-)
Oh no!!
It's just not fair!!
Every time I want to get RID of stuff - along comes a site just BEGGING me to buy something!
Yep - to coin the fabulous Oscar Wilde's famous phrase ..."I can resist anything, but temptation...."

Ho hum ..... :-)

Ho hum ..... :-)
This 'E-Bay' thing ... and, 'the clearout'!
So, here's the 'thing' ..
I've decided to 'get rid' - clear out - start anew - call it what you will..... I've put on e-bay SO much 'stuff' - even stuff that I soooooooooooo love, just to make some space!! Plus, I'm moving - hopefully ....
It's amazing how much 'stuff' we accumulate, isn't it?
I heard somewhere that if you haven't actually WORN something - that's been IN your wardrobe for a year or more, you're just NEVER going to wear it! And that's probably true ...
So - although most of it is really, REALLY lovely - it's G-O-I-N-G! Hopefully, it'll be a case of 'going, going, gone'!!
99p start price - and no reserve .. Yes, I MUST be mad ...
Oh well, gotta start somewhere!
I'm sure I'll have some more news for you later..
:-)

Ok - so it IS rather a LARGE DIAMOND ...! But ...
Hmmm .... Wonder what the chances are ..
I'll let you know .... later ... ;-)

BEST QUOTE FOR THE DAY, FOR ME ....
"Dont be sad because it's over .... Be glad that it happened ...." Dr. Seuss
I love this quote, because, initially it seems as if it can only refer to a 'lost love' relationship ......
But, it can also help to heal the pain of a lost loved-one . . . and make you smile about memories of them ...

A bit LONG, for a first post - but OH SO WORTH IT TO READ .. :-)
Hello 'new blog world'! This is my first posting, and I felt I HAD to share it with you, as anyone who appreciates good grammar - and a good 'dig', will absolutely love this, I'm sure ... And, if you don't I'm sure you'll let me know...
THIS IS A REAL LETTER, WRITTEN BY AN 86-YEAR-OLD WOMAN, TO HER BANK MANAGER IN THE U.S.A. THE NEW YORK TIMES ACTUALLY PUBLISHED IT, BECAUSE THEY LOVED IT AS MUCH AS I DO, I GUESS ...
Dear Sir:
I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it.. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years.
You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.
My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, --- when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal,
overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.
From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-bloodperson.
My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate. Be aware that it is an OFFENSE under the
Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope.
Please find attached an Application Contact which I require your
chosen employee to complete.
I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or
her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative.
Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof.
In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a
PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me.
I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on
your phone bank service.
As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Let me level the playing field even further.
When you call me, press buttons as follows:
IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIALLING, PRESS THE STAR (*) BUTTON FOR ENGLISH
#1. To make an appointment to see me
#2. To query a missing payment.
#3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.
#4 To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping
#5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
#6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home
#7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required.
Password will be communicated to you at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier.
#8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7.
#9. To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. #10. This is a second reminder to press* for English.
While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call. Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.
May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year?
Your Humble Client
And remember: Don't make old People mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to Piss us off.
