I feel like that Macaulay Culken kid in Home Alone

or maybe Miss Piggy.

J is off to China this time, for a week, for work. He left at about 4pm this afternoon from Haneda (so he had to go to work at normal time this morning)
I don't know what it is about him being away, but I might have gone a bit mental today.

I had several cups of tea. So I needed something to go with my tea. So I ate half a pack of country ma'am biscuits....and K and I made a chocolate cake, but turns out she didn't like it, so I had to eat it -- with whipped cream leftover from pancakes breakfast on the weekend.

I am feeling like I wanna throw up about now ;(

I have also been skyving around on yahoo auction all day. And bought myself a nappy bag *finally!*

I have been looking at the skip hop dash deluxe for more than 2 months, and wanting to order it from o/s as it works out almost half the price of retail price here in Japan. But I have just not gotten around to sitting in front of the computer long enough to actually order it....so today I put the disney cartoon network on (we are trialling hikari TV, as we just changed internet provider to hikari flets because we got a deal when the new Yamada denki opened up just down the road: buy a 32 inch TV for 500yen IF you sign up with hikari flets. The Tv is now in the playroom, a.k.a our winter hideout and we are now on flets.) So anyway, K has been entertained all day by the likes of "Olivia", "The Suite Life" and soon to be a bit of "Hannah Montana" me thinks. L is happy just wandering around, clapping and trying to eat whatever he can find (DVDs, K's toys, socks, etc etc) And I have been in front of the computer enjoying the thrills of the auction. I have also semi-unwittingly upped the price of a set of 4 nappy covers to 2.5 times the starting price (I bid at 1300yen, for the 4 -- bargain!). I am now "in the lead" for buying them -- auction closes in 4 hours so will see if they come my way, or I have to do some more tricky auction moves to win (must set a final price I am willing to pay for them or else I can see myself getting caught up in the moment and paying something rediculous, lol.

*************
7:12pm and just over an hour left on the nappies, I am still in the lead! lol
This auction stuff is all very exciting.

***************
8:45pm and the auction is still going!!
I was a bit naive, it seems, in assuming that bidding 5 hours before end time I would be in the running. Some serious players came out in the last few minutes and started a bidding war, which I participated in ;) Was a bit of an adrenaline rush!!! My highest bid of 4400yen held on until 1 min beforewas outbidded, (thankfully, was starting to get a bit worried I might actually have to buy it for that price, lol!). Final price was 4900yen - still a bargain for 4 new nappy covers, but higher than I was willing to go this time. But there is always next time.... ;)
