  • Purpleness has been posted today, cost me £21 but I did it insured as the value is about £50 as it has her birthday and Xmas presents in it, her birthday was a few months ago so I'm saving by sending them all together. It's all wrapped up in purple Xmas wrapping paper.

    I think I found out the wholesaler the people have got their stock from they had a different picture on the website but it said in the description it was red and black although picture was blue and black so am sure that is where they got it from, can relax now.

    Will be writing my Xmas cards out later for family so I can post them in the box this weekend, then just got to wrap kids stuff up, bf can buy all the food as I bought all the presents and will be wrapping them up - he never helps.

    Anyway, no debt busting today, been a bit expensive with my parcel to my friend and Ebay parcels (£40 altogether).

    Nearly have £20 in Monebackmadness so hopefully if it all clears I should get that in Jan/Feb.

    I have 4 boxes of books in my room waiting to be listed on Amazon. My friend who's moving house in the near future gave them all to me to sort out and sell...And she might have some other stuff as well to give me later on. At least on Amazon you don't have to pay anything before they sell, which is good. Have another 4 items on ebay as relistings finishing on Sunday, but no interest shown again. :( Guess it's not meant to be. Just not sure what to do with them now, take to charity or leave and try again sometime next year. Off to see Tracy Chapman tonight!!! :)
