Gearing Up

Back home again after a lovely relaxing week with my Mum in Bristol (thank you, Mum, it was just what I needed) and now I need to start gearing up for Christmas.  I've got a lot of nice items to list on ebay this week (just hoping for some nice sunny weather to get the best photos - today is VERY grey and overcast) and then on Friday is the annual Christmas Fair at the town-centre church.  I always enjoy going to that and there are usually some excellent bargains to be had, plus some rather nice home-made jams.  I'll be seeing if I can find some Lego sets for my nephew again this year and also stocking up (again!) on nice toiletries for myself.  Plus, I'm hoping there'll be a few nice bits and bobs suitable for re-selling.

I've made a reasonable start on handmade Christmas presents having finished two quite a while ago (I'm rather pleased with how both have turned out but can't show them on the blog otherwise it will spoil the surprise,) but I've got a few more to make as well.  I also made a start on buying a couple of presents yesterday, which is quite early for me. 

It seems impossible that it's the second week of November already (where did this year go?) and I'm finding the 'countdown to Christmas' button that's recently appeared on ebay rather alarming as every day it tells me how little time I've got left to get my a*se in gear!!

Every time I log onto eBay (countless times per day, it has to be said), that countdown button irritates me more - I am so sick of it!

I've just made note of a local Christmas Fair too. It makes you feel all nice and festive as much as anything else, doesn't it? That ebay button sounds scary...
