An epic Ebay fail

We've had a Kmix blender on Ebay for a couple of weeks now and this morning I woke to our first lot of correspondence for it, an email requesting a possible pick up. I was excited. This is the first thing I have put up for sale on Ebay (this is an important fact for what is to follow). Having not checked progress thus far and discovering the sale ended today, I decided it was probably a good time to look at what was going on. We had 143 views and 21 watches which I thought was pretty good, then I saw the price. Now, I will openly admit I struggled somewhat getting this thing up on there it took me a good part of an hour - researching prices on Amazon and from other Ebay sellers, taking photos, trying to write a description of it etc. Then I lost it and had to start again. My main aim was to get a Buy it Now price up there which I definitely did. I definitely pressed Buy it Now and put in a price. Definitely. Fast forward to this morning 6 hours before the auction finishes and it's going for £1.21. What a plonker.

To rid of my frustration I decided a run was in order. Looking back to my list of things 'to do' I had put down some more running events and so we've signed up to the Cambridge Half Marathon in March. The running shoes are back on and it couldn't have been a more beautiful morning for it. For me, Cambridge is one of the most delightful places in the sunshine and with copper coloured leaves gently swaying in the brisk wind and the sensational smell of cool damp and fires heating houses, it really felt like Autumn had arrived. One of the best times of the year.

I'm now sat here with my date, almond and banana breakfast smoothie, (I'm making my way through the Deliciously Ella collection from the website and her app - such lovely recipes) they really are a great way to (re)start the day. My main aim for today is to find what it really is I want to do with my career and I am determined to produce a shortlist or something of that nature. I better get researching whilst listening to a bit of Taylor Swift's 'Shake it Off'.

Have a delicious day.
