Challenge Update - May

My 2013 challenges are:-

1) Watch one old film each month.

2) List five items on Ebay each month.

3) Have a date night with Mick each month.


I've seen Gone With The Wind numerous times in the past, but it's the film I chose to watch again for May. I absolutely love this film and thoroughly enjoyed watching it again, it's one of those which you can watch over and over and never tire of. That Scarlet O'Hara is a madam though.

I'm still listing five items on Ebay each month and they're selling well. I always list when it's a free listing weekend, no point paying to list the items if you don't have to. I'm surprised by how many free listing weekends there are, they're usually every fortnight. They were never this regular when I used Ebay for selling before.

This month, we had A Date At Lotherton Hall which also took in Lotherton Hall Bird Garden. Although we've been to Lotherton Hall many times, we still enjoy visiting.

We've had a rainy week so far, but the sun is shining today. The next few days look set to be nice, so enjoy the weekend, whatever you're up to.

    1. I've never read the book, although I did have it in my reading pile at one time, I don't know what happened to it though.

    1. You must see Gone With the Wind, though you really have to set some time aside to watch it, it's a very long film. I've been hoarding things for such a long time that it really was time I started selling them, I'm doing well with sales so far.

    1. I didn't realise either until I started selling again. I've no idea why anyone would list on a day where they have to pay to list, it's as easy to wait for the free listing weekend to come along.

    1. It wouldn't do for us all to like the same things. There's lots of films I really dislike which others rave about.

  7. I enjoyed Gone with the wind when I saw it one christmas years ago, but I'm not sure I would want to sit for all that time to watch it again.
    Speaking of old films have you seen 'Song of Bernadette'? It never fails to make me cry.

    1. It's a very long film, I've sat through it quite a few times now, and love it each time I watch it. I saw The Song of Bernadette a long long time ago, I can only remember bits of it. I shall have to watch out for it so that I can watch it again.

    1. You've done better than I have with the book, I never even started it, even though it was on my reading pile, and I don't know where it's disappeared to now.

    1. She's infuriating. I must read the book, I think I'd enjoy it after seeing the film so many times.
