Long weekend, where art thou?

I wish every weekend was a long one. *sigh*

I have been spending a lot of time, although not a lot of money on trademe. It is very time consuming to look through all the thousands of listings and find what you want.

So far all I have bought is a My Little Pony. She's called Sparkler and was the very first My Little Pony I ever had. I gave her away to needy kids or something about 10 years ago and have regretted it late at night when I can't sleep. So, it'll be great to see her again.

I also bid on one called Windy, which was the second one I had, but I got outbid at the last moment and then the auction closed. Well, thems the breaks I guess, but it does seem very mean, when I was leading on the bid for days. Also there was a vey pretty one called Moonstone, but someon'e put 'autobid' on it, which means they automatically outbid you when you place. Which means if I chose to I could just keep bidding and they'd have to pay heaps for it, but I don't get it either way, so there's no point.

Went to Giffy's, Margie's and Regs' new flat last night, it is very pretty and lovely. Happy Birthday for yesterday Margie!

This morning I finished reading my latest teen romance Guitar Girl by Sarra Manning, which is a fantastic account of a garage band that actually succeeds and how awful it is to be a rockstar. I loved it to bits, although a little let down by the end. Very well written.
