MAKIN' MONEY...

Today: I've got some stuff selling on Trade Me.... it's so exciting watching an auction...looks like I'm going to make quite a tidy sum today!


Kinda sad too... I'm selling a lot of my pottery equipment.... I finally realised that I'm just not 'into' it anymore! A few years ago I was fanatical about my pottery, making and selling all sorts of things, and teaching at night school too. It was so much fun. But now.... the love just ain't there. So, it's all getting sold.


Might have some potential buyers coming up from Wellington today to look at the house... the Agent is ringing me this morning to let me know, so I need to get the house all tidy AGAIN...

  7. Good luck with your Trademe auctions, I just love buying and selling on Trademe.

    We had the rain here yesterday but it was still recording 33 degree's on our temperature gauge here at work.

    Beautiful day today though.

    Good luck with the Wellington Buyers.

  8. Chris, maybe you should move into a caravan in your back yard and leave the house spotless so you will never have to clean up for an inspection... lol. If you like living like a sardine that is... hehehe.

    Sorry to hear about your pottery things, maybe you will find a new hobby soon that you will feel passionate about just like you did with the pottery. :)

  14. hehe. Too bad you live across the ocean! I'd buy your house up. All the pics of it look great!

    Ooh. I hope when I go into a house that it smells like fresh bread or cookies.

    Got any plans for the money you've made from your pottery sales?

  18. I can't believe they make you burn vacation time when you're sick. They should give people x number of sick days a year.

  24. Hey,

    I lost 30Kg through willpower, stress and exercise.

    Everything is gone now and I started putting it back on.

    I found the "DASH" program for blood pressure control and arrested the upswing.

    I am now eating a balanced diet and feel a shite load better!!

    Best wishes for yours and very well done at the auction.

    See you,

    Hugh
