is it really that long?

I can't believe its been so long since my last post, dunno what happened really -the window of time I hoped for when Amy went to nursery hasn't materialised because Ella decided that 71/2 months was a good time to start standing up, and 9 months was reasonable for walking, so instead of a just cruising baby, I now have someone who can climb stairs, and get from one place to another in the blink of an eye. I've been burning the midnight oil with the spinning so no time to do any digital stuff, and now I'm knee deep in chrissie presents that need finishing. I really wish i could get things done in the daytime, but nigel is an expert at derailing any plans I have, so much so that I don't tell him what my to do list is, because I can guarantee that he'll find a million and one things that must be done by both of us instead - I'm even dependent on him for transport :(. Enough moaning anyhoo.
I was totally cheered up by taking my spins to Heath yesterday, he's got the most stupendous christmas decs up in the shop -strings and strings of huge pompoms! there's even one as big as my head lol! A good reaction to my new stuff as well, plus some more sales so it's all good! I've got a few things to put on etsy soon, along with a project or two using my own and others recycled/repurposed bits and bobs - ooh and i'm on ravelry too!

Grrr !!

What a total pain! I've not listed on ebay for 3 weeks or so, back on and they've changed alsorts - the main thing is that UK listings don't get seen on Ebay.com unless you really go looking, but Surprise surprise - we get US ones! I get the feeling that they're trying to force everyone into listing on the US site so the country sites can go , also for decreasing our visibility we pay more than anyone else! Is there really nowhere I can sell that either nobody buys from because they can't find anything (take a bow Etsy) nobody goes to because they don't know it exists (Ebid?) or the where the owners are rapidly becoming corporate muggers because they know they've got control of the market?
