Bumbling along to be Mortgage Free

This is why Im cautious about Ebay. Its sooo stressful when you're trying to make a few pennys from it.
If its stickling a little bit of WD40 would help it. If it needs a new zip then ask her to return it.0 -
My DD (age 5) authoritatively and correctly told me to rub a candle along a stuck zip on her school dress last week - whilst she was wearing it, we couldn't get the darned thing off, but was very funny
Silly moo - 75p and she's moaning....she should be OS and try to fix it herself before whining!0 -
Graphite is the thing, she needs to colour it in with a pencil! (All those Van der Waals forces breaking).
Bonkers, though. She's having a giraffe.Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -
Just wanted to say I've been following your diary, Michelle, and hope your day gets better. I think you're doing great. I have the same feelings about eBay - been trying to make a few extra MGF pennies on it and am sick to death of toing and froing to the grotty post office to post something that I have made £1.99 on! The things we do! Chin up and hope your afternoon is better!

Yep - ebay is a pain, which is why I generally save stuff to do a mega-list on free listings. I usually manage to only have 2 PO trips then, 3 at a push.
