    Morning all

    Lilmiss - i think you should maybe try and relist your computer if you dont want to take the £ from your oh. You never know what you might get?

    Jen - that was weird about the clocks etc.!

    Well im up, and have no intentions of going anywhere today, as im a tad on the "no money" side! Nevermind.

    One of my christmas pressie i got from ebay arrived last night. Its a 1st Edition hard back version of a book I know my sister is missing in her Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles. It cost me £7.00, which I'm really chuffed about. yey!

  • Morning everyone, it's such a nice sunny day for once!

    Last year I did my christmas shopping in July/August before I quit my job because I knew I'd be completely broke at christmas (no surprises there), I usually do it way in advance but I don't think that will happen this year. I'm not a big fan of really busy shops at christmas but I went to Birmingham on the 21st of December last year and I was amazed how empty it was, though it was probably because the shops in Birmingham are so huge. I'm debating having a destash of all my old jewellery making bits, mostly the plastic kitsch stuff because I'm starting to concentrate on making vintage & vintage look jewellery. The problem is I have so much stuff and know it will take ages.... I'm probably going to try and list some more stuff on gumtree too. I've taken a liking to it because it doesn't have any fees like ebay.
    Finally bought a home
