  • OMG - its too late. You are beyond saving. What has Ebay done to you?

    Though clearly something is not right, as you have not yet sold the shed. I feel you may have missed a trick young lady.

    Wow
    What a story
    I've just read from start to finish - once I'd read the opening post with your totals on it, i was hooked...and am now subscribing
    So much of what you & other posters on here has struck home

    Am so impressed with what you've acheived so far, the way you've stuck with ebay is amazing (that word got over ussed in Britains got Talent, must find new one)

    Because of your diary, I'm beginning to see that in some ways its not the amount of debt we get into but the lessons we learn getting out it - that, certainly to some people, is priceless. So thank you for sharing your journey - here's hoping the DFW path you follow is bump free.:beer:
    I do not make mistakes, I learn lessons.
    I work to live, not live to work.
    I love to live & live to love.
    Good enough is exactly that.

    Evening Mrscmr (wave). Apparently laser is painless. Dont think teeth are though (I cringe thinking about it). Reference shed, I told kids they could turn ours into a den, big mistake, big, huge. their choice of colours is highly inappropriate for a suburban garden, although Diarmid McGavin (sp?) would approve.
