I'm really gutted that i gave my shoes to charity now (that sounds really bad but you know what I mean), I had loads i could of got some dosh for. Did anyone ever see about the girl who sold her knickers on ebay to get her through uni? She used to buy loads of packs of cheapo knickers, sit in them for 5 minutes, then list them on ebay. She made a fortune. I dont understand men its not like I'd like my oh to give me a pair of his unwashed gruds!!!!!

I had a flatmate who did almost the same thing, except that she didn't even sit in them. The following paragraph is disgusting, so be warned before you highlight and learn how she did it:

She used to take two egg whites and stir them up with a few drops of juice from a tin of tuna and a tiny drop of bleach, then dribble a bit of the mixture into the gusset of new undies.

Crafts that should never turn up on the crafting thread

Bit of fun were have a mini santas challenge - dont worry no cleaning....!!

1.What have you done or achieved, that no one would really know unless you told them.

2. What would you like to do if you if you could, nothing for anyone else, just you!.

Here goes -

1. I have a Level One in Reki healing.

2. Fly over Las Vegas strip in a helicopter.

Ooh, I've done level one in Reki too, about 12 years ago.

Not allowed to sell them on ebay any more - I tried a few years ago when we were really skint (I know, I have no shame!). There are sites that do it though, I didn't bother in the end as it sounded too comlpicated.

3_cheeky_princesses Well done 4 all the wrapping!! I love to get all different colours for wrapping paper, so on christmas morning, my living room (or should i say this yr, my mums living room) will look all colourful and festive.

Have only got as far as page 110 so I hope this is still going to be relevant. I use one colour per family member, we open our presents one gift, per person, in turn and it saves the scrabbling about under the xmas tree, well at least where my presents to DD1, DD2, DS and OH are concerned anyway!:p
