    Evening

    Another week of buying nothing. I think I need a pair of ankle boots, but I have a pair of knee highs but I am going to see how comfortable they are before I decide whether to buy a pair of ankle boots.

    eBay selling is going really well. I listed 53 items, 22 items sold, which earned me over £400. The items which did not sell have been relisted for another week and if they don't sell I will be taking them to the charity shop.

    there are two things which, if they don't sell I won't be taking to the charity shop. they both cost a lot of money (trousers and designer purse) and would probably be marked up in the CS for 50p, so can't bring myself to do it!

    Sorry for the ramblings, writing it down means I will defy do it, so thats why I am :D

    Wow, well done on the fleabay sales 32b I've never had that much luck, though have sold things that I've listed half a dozen times with no success then all of a sudden, whoosh, they're sold, so don't give up if things don't go, meaning those two items. Pop them aside and try again another time.

    You are right Kerri, I will leave them in the unsold items and see how it goes.

    I just came back to say that, after saying I would try the knee high boots before buying ankle boots, it occurred to me that I need ankle boots, which are smarter than ugg, to wear with skinnier leg trousers. I had a quick look on the Office website and they had the boots I was looking at before Christmas and they have been reduced from £85 to £28, so I ordered them. I won't add the figure until I know they fit :D

    I went looking for flat ankle boots this week but couldn't,t find any (regardless of price) that didn't hurt. So spoke to my physio about it and she okayed my 1 inch boots as long as I felt stable. So that's the emergency unplanned for item off the list. Thank you physio

    Evening

    eBay sales are continuing, but the items that haven't sold, other than the two I previously mentioned, have all gone to the charity shop. The point of the clearcut in the first place was more about making space than earning money, thats just an additional bonus, which will pay my car expenses (insurance, MOT and residents parking permit) for this year.

    The boots arrived from Office and they are really nice so my total for this year stands at £28/£300. I will change my signature.

    I've had a flurry of buying over the last few days! I got a dress for summer and a tee shirt in a cs for £9, a pair of knee high boots on fleabay for £7.50 (I might actually sell these on those as they are tight around the calf which is a shame as they are really nice) a bag for £2, a jaguar black jersey top for £3 and I got some much needed new running trainers £27

    YTD £48.50/£250

    Could you take the boots to a cobbler and see if they can stretch the calf a little bit for you if you really like them?
