I have been stuck in the house today, its been pouring  down *again.*  We had thunderstorms yesterday, not as bad as i was expecting, the weather forecaster said there would thunder and lightning with heavy rain, we got the rain but all i heard was 3 big bangs of thunder then nothing. I love a good thunder storm, i like to lay on my bed with the bedroom curtains open so i can see the flashes of lightning and hear the thunder. A good storm helps to clear the air for a while. 

With not being able to do much in the garden i decided to concentrate on  selling on Ebay.  I have sold 7 items so far,  I have had 1 buyer from Hong Kong, he bought a  Famille Rose vase.  The ones that haven't sold have been relisted, i now need to add a few more. We have boxes full upstairs that need to be sold, if they don't sell after a couple of attempts i may hand them to a charity and hope they get something. I am using the money we make to get my living room sorted.

I now have 34 items on at the minute, i am going to add a few more tonight then open another box tomorrow, doing 1 box at a time.  I have had to order lots of packaging supplies.:

*Brown Paper for Wrapping
Packaging tape
Bubblewrap
Fragile Stickers
Labels.*

I forgot how hard the packaging part can be, thankfully i  have been saving boxes and packaging from parcels that are sent here, reusing  packaging keeps the costs down.  I do all the work then my hubby gets home from work then takes them to the post office. I then worry until i know they have got there parcel  and its what it should be. 

Once we have emptied all the box's we will have our spare room back, we haven't been able to use it with storing them in there.  We will then have space where we can move things around the house to get each room decorated, I want my house finished this year then i haven't got to think about it for a couple of years. **I may have to hire a handyman to help.**

Thankfully i have this to do on bad weather days or  i would be getting frustrated because i couldn't get into the garden. Mother Nature has took over looking after my garden, she has given all my plants a really good watering and gave me a little time to get on top of our hoarding problem. Its been fun collecting them but now they have took over we  have to get them out of the way to get my house decorated.  

I used to sell quite a bit a few years ago, The last time i sold something was August 2014,  a lot of things have changed and been updated so i have had to double check everything i do. It doesn't help with me going through the Menopause,  doesn't take much to mess with my head. I have to do one at a time, double check what i have done then once i am happy i can then move onto the next item.  When i saw i had a buyer from Hong Kong i nearly screamed, I didn't have a clue what to do. I had to spend quite a while double checking everything i had to do, ticking off what needed to be done.  

The menopause really messes with your head, you forget simple words, your constantly hot and your moods can change in a second. I was on Facebook yesterday when i saw this post, it made me giggle.
