lessons i have learned...

while being sick at home...

Ebay is soooo addictive.

I have learned some things about Ebay though--

1.) There is a right way and a wrong way to change your maximum bid -- the right way just changes it, the wrong way changes the current bid to your maximum bid straightaway -- doh!

2.) Ebay is totally boring and dead after midnight England time on Ebay.co.uk. Most auctions end at midnight and the next ones don't begin to end until lots later in the day, so enjoying a good bid when you can't sleep isn't a good idea because there won't be any!


see what you can learn when you are sleep (and company) deprived?

fabulous.

p.s. doc signed me off for another week today -- the viral thing has now reared it's ugly head and transformed into an acute sinus & chest infection. www.dictionary.com defines acute as "Having a rapid onset and following a short but severe course: acute disease." My translation -- it starts quick and knocks you on your bum and makes you lose the will to live. I was having chills yesterday that I couldn't shake even with a shirt, 2 fleeces, 2 blankets and my overstuffed goose-down duvet!! I was literally shaking and was so miserable it made me cry.
