Making Good Use: Humdrum

Please excuse the rather boring post today but it's all very humdrum around these parts at the moment. My days seem to consist entirely of washing-up, cooking, washing, ironing, cleaning, hoovering - you know, the day to day household jobs that can seem like painting the Forth Road Bridge. No sooner do you finish one thing than something else needs doing. Sometimes these things are enlivened by a trip to the High Street and / or Post Office - high living indeed!

As it's Thursday today, I shall spend most of the afternoon listing items on ebay. I rather like doing that as I get a nice sense of achievement when I've photographed (rather tricky when the days are as dark and dank as they are at the moment) and listed everything. And there's always a small soupcon of excitement to see if any bids are put on items quickly - usually the sign of an item that will sell well. I did decide to list the two pieces of vintage fabric that I found last week and one of them has been bid up to £10.50 - with three days still to run on the auction and 25 people watching it. Looks like I made the right decision to list those. And the Ruby and Millie Kabuki Make-up Brush also has one bid and a lot of watchers - so I'm hopeful that will do well too.

Sadly, the Country Diary wallpaper that I had such high hopes for failed to sell. Never mind, I'll hold onto it for a week or two and try listing it again. If an item doesn't sell first time round I always give it a second go on ebay - sometimes with surprisingly good results. I suppose it just depends who's looking for a particular item at any given time.

Anyway, nothing else to talk about really due to my recent humdrum existence - personally, I'm blaming this infernal cold weather and dark grey days for the lack of excitement in my life. Really, anyone would think it was the middle of winter!!
