... it's Life, and it very often stinks...

Let me tell you why, because judging from your furrowed brow you need enlightening as to the situation...

A few days ago  I managed to get a couple of book auctions going. I was over the moon, and I really thought I was on my way...

But then at a quarter to midnight last night my huge table decided to collapse under it's burden. This act of treason - yes, let's call it what it is! - left me devastated...

There I stood, up to my knees in a chaotic sea of tasteless knick-knacks, out-dated clothing, flea-bitten books, oldy-worldy cooking utensils and bizarre-looking dolls with half-shaven heads...

From deep within my belly the beginnings of super-sonic wailing could easily be heard...

But just as I opened my mouth so that the wailing could escape, I changed my mind (as I often do) and instead, found myself wandering somewhat calmly away with a distant look in my eye...

Cry?...

No, I wasn't going to cry. Why should I cry? I only spent 9½ hours dragging all those things down from the attic and sorting them into neat little piles. Why would I cry?...

No...

No... I bit down on my lip (I hardly noticed the blood trickling down my chin), I held my head high and I prepared for the daunting task ahead of me...

Now, I've no idea when the next auction will be set up...

Ok, I've started decluttering the homestead, and if you've no idea what I'm talking about then my About Me page says it all...

I know I've only got 2 things up for auction right now, but hey, Rome wasn't built in a day, you know. I gotta get my head n fingers around all this stuff on how to put up auctions. And anyway, I've got sooooooooooo much stuff to sell, we'll be well into the next life, before I'm done...

I have no feedback: not a good thing when trying to sell on ebay...

What?!...

You mean I have to buy something first to get some feedback before people will begin to trust me?! Didn't I just tell you that I have a HUGE clutter problem in my home? And it doesn't even stop there, oh no. The clutter can clearly be seen seeping thru the walls and tumbling out of open windows over here!...

Please! I'm not buying anything!...
