    LOL - how could you possibly forget owning a designer handbag???
    No idea. Can't remember where it came from, but it seems to be Italian....I have never been to Italy :rotfl:

    Haha well done on those finds! The Matthew Williamson should go down well on ebay I'm sure. All the stuff that I ever find in my cupboards is actual junk that even the bin men think twice about taking!

    Ths signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it... :o

    The lost treasure of the Incas could be in the back of my wardrobe :rotfl:

    Brother has arrived and has been very nice - he took me to Tesco, saving me a taxi later in the week, and the tip with many bags of non-sellable cr*p from The Great Declutter. Having more coffee before I carry on!

    Collectors edition vinyl unearthed and having examined the completed listings on Ebay, I know where they are going! I think that if I sell on Ebay some of the things I have found today, I should make over £100 :eek: All from stuff just hiding in my house :o

    Now, does anyone know how best to clean a handbag which is mainly canvasish material but has leather pockets? As it's mainly white, it needs washed, but I think that if it goes in the machine it will implode. Suggestions to:

    No help at all on handbags I'm afraid...soooo Lady Bracknell.

    How do find out what sold well on ebay. I've a pile of vinyl here and I've no idea if it's worth selling or not.

    When you search for something in Ebay, use the Advanced Search function and look for completed listings. That will show you what price items have gone for.

    Thank you ... now I can see if this [STRIKE]carp[/STRIKE] quality stuff is worth anything.

    Morning all!

    I have been up for hours (Stupid light curtains let through the sun so I'm up with the larks all through the summer!) but have done nothing apart from drink coffee and shoot the zombie hoards. Hurrah!

    My brother is snoring up a storm on the couch, I went to bed at midnight and didn't hear him come in, so I'm assuming he had a good night :rotfl: :beer: He generously offered to take more cr*p to the tip for me today, so I'm just about to hunt down my glasses then make breakfast for myself. Once I'm fed and [strike]watered[/strike] caffeinated I can spend more time cleaning out rubbish and preparing things to go to the tip. Woo! I'm going to be glad to get back to work for a rest at this rate :D

    I now have two boxes for the carboot, one black bag full of handbags for the carboot and a box full of stuff for Ebay. I have also found some old clothes which don't fit but have still got the tags on :o so Ebay for them too methinks. I will get pennies for them at the carboot, so might as well try my luck with the Ebayage.

    Hope everyone else is having a lovely lazy Sunday!

    You're going great guns. Well done.

    I'm Slimfasted and have done flat viewing, off to buy Thorntons (Slimfast acts as anti-matter where chocolate is concerned) and a big shiney lock for Arrears Boy.
