Inspired by Hypnos efforts yesterday I have just tackled the cupboard in my bedroom that always gets left out Its one of those corner ones that goes back a long way and the stuff at the back never sees daylight. It was full of two things mainly; ds old birthday cards / paintings etc, which are now neatly boxed away at the back as they don't need to be got at very often and secondly, every possible smelly known to man I was quite ruthless and everything is now in an ordered fashion, either in a box for hair stuff, a box for body lotions/perfumes etc, an ebay pile :j , or away in the bathroom cupboard where they must be used before I buy anymore :rolleyes:

All jewellery is neatly away, all makeup is away in a drawer, and I also have one tub of travel size stuff for when I go away (hardly ever :rolleyes: ) and one tub of shampoo/conditioner/moisturiser sachets that are free with magazines. It is my mission to not have to buy any more smellies (other than deodorant as I didn't find a stash of that) until theyre all used up It was prompted by getting another load for my birthday, I don't mean that ungratefully as they're very nice, but I have about 8 bottles of shower gel now, and don't even start me on how many body butters I have

I did manage to find some nice stuff for ebay though, I decided to ebay another of those benefit lipglosses, I'm keeping one but haven't opened the other so that can go, also a bottle of posh hair mousse and a tub of the same paste stuff thats never been used, a boxed set of perfume and a boxed set of body shop stuff that my ex gave me for xmas that I've never opened, a boxed french manicure set and a next necklace thats never been out the box. Its all nice stuff and I could happily keep it, but its all been in the cupboard for lon enough and I've never bothered with it so I may as well try and get some money for it Thats another thing I've added to the list for today, I'll try and get them all on there tonight

WARNING .... :mad: :mad: :mad:
EBAY RANT COMING UP :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ........

I've just tried listing a perfume giftset I found in the cupboard and the stupid thind wont let me because it says my paypal account isnt verified. I logged in and checked it and it is verified. So then it says it might not be linked to my ebay account, but it is. Their "help" section is utterly useless and I've spent half an hour trying to sort it and now I''m fed up with it all :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: .... just off to McD's for tea

When ebay works well, it works well.....when it doesn't.......:mad:

Enjoy McD's

Back from Mcd'S, all was good, I found a voucher this morning I'd forgotten about for 4.00 off, so it only cost me 45p for both of us :beer:

benbenandme

Okay, I take it all back, it was me being a techie muppet

I have got 2 paypal accounts and it was the wrong one on there All sorted now and item is listed, thats 4 items listed so far today, hopefully I'll get up to ten today

I know my ex was a right muppet. He proposed to his 19 year old girlfriend who he'd been seeing for 2 months (dumped his ex on the Friday after getting the new girlfriend, now fiance, to agree to go on a date with him on the Saturday the day before) 2 days after he found out I was engaged. He even emailed me to ask me about the engagement ring.

Grrrr.....idiot. They still have no concrete plans for a wedding so I'm told through the grapevine (as we don't talk). But everyone agrees that his was a knee jerk proposal to stop me getting the upper hand.

Obviously I would only get engaged to get one over on him and not because I actually love my OH (now husband I might add). Bloody men eh? My hubby is counted out of that little rant cos he is lovely, even if he is a pin in the bum! lol.

I need to get organised. Benben, don't suppose you fancy organising me do you? lol.

benbenandme

I'd love to but I promise I'm really not that organised myself, see the post earlier about the contents insurance :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yay, just sold a buy-it-now for 5.99 :beer: It wasn't one of the items I listed today either I had managed to get up to 6 items tonight but a getting bored, so that might hopefully revive me again

First though I need a cup of tea and then I ight do an online food shop

Hello, well as usual you sound like you've had a productive day!
Me, I've been a lazy moo and had an afternoon nap before my girls came home. They stayed at my mum's last night in Weston super mare while I went out with my sis and her hub. So felt a bit tired today (nothing to do with the vodka of course!!;) )
Mind you - at least I've had a NSD!! And sold a couple of bits on ebay and a cd on Amazon, so will work out how much to add on to the summer hols challenge.
Not sure what's planned for tomorrow - not a lot I don't think! Could go to Tesco but might try drag it out a few days, use up what's in the cupboards. My new book came the other day - how to feed you family for not much money(or something like that!) - so think I'll have a browse for some ideas!!

I'm feeling quite organised right now - I might write a list of things to do for the week. I MUST get some college work done - my TA NVQ, I told my tutor I'd hand everything in when we go back in Sept. I must have been mad!

Bye for now!;):p
