Ok so all the eBay which has been paid for is now packaged and ready to send. Another 9 items finishing today . Will get up around 4pm and crawl to the Post Office with my goodies to post.

I seriously get so excited as the bids come in close to finishing time. What a complete and utter sad case:p.

Have done really well out of eBay this month, so glad I knuckled down and got it all listed. Hopefully I can get it all paid and posted out before leaving London ON MONDAY!!!!:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

Have an entire house worth in Glasgow to be getting rid of, so let the fun begin;).

Had an email overnight about the ironing board lot on Gumtree I have listed, so hopefully that's another lot away for £12.

Have a confession to make - cards on the table................I emailed the lady buying the TV, rug, throw and mirror and asked her to collect them Thursday or Friday instead of Wednesday. Told her my plans had changed, but in the real world I spotted my two favourite programmes were on Wednesday night - Secret Eaters and TOWIE:o. Total trash but I love it. And if I'm not working now, I can't possibly not have TV:o.

I too get super excited in the last few minutes/seconds of ebay, its the best bit, then you realise you have to package them all and queue in the post office forever!!

:j:j To leaving London FOREVER!!!!!!!

Wednesday is also my fave TV night but for 24 hours of A&E, as you practically live in the hospital am sure you have no need to watch this aswell

Hubby and I had a mutual grump at each other, but have since made up. He phoned me to ask where the parcel tape was - seriously?! I've asked him to package one item for a courier to collect tomorrow, and you would think I'd asked him to arrange the next Summit on climate change:mad::mad::mad:.

What is it with men and the lack of ability to find anything. In the cupboard on the 2nd shelf is not enough for my OH he needs the EXACT location on the shelf, whats either side/on top/underneath :mad::mad::rotfl:

So glad it's not just me. I usually respond with and just how big is the F***ing room exactly, would you like me to draw you a map :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



Oh dear, me thinks it won't take you very long to look at that, unless you ask for it all in 1p pieces. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



Print this out instead:







Good idea, hope it went ok and she's now emailed you back

Hi Granny,

Thanks - you made me laugh, but your TV sucks. There's never anything on:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Please Gumtree people email me back - I WANT YOUR MONEY!:p

Hi Princess,

Nice to hear from you, and I laughed at the bit about boys finding stuff:rotfl::rotfl:.

You cannot believe how excited I am about leaving forever:D. Just a shame I can't tell everyone just how excited I am:o.

I officially have one bank shift Thursday night (as they cancelled me for tomorrow night:mad::mad::mad::mad:), then 3 long days Saturday, Sunday and Monday then fly home Monday night - never to return:j:j:j:j.

Going for lunch with a friend on Friday so not much sleep but couldn't leave without seeing her socially, as we've threatened it for 3 years but never gotten around to it;).

So really only 4 shifts to go:j:j:j.

Strictly speaking as they have cancelled me for tomorrow night I could go for dinner with my Consultant friend, which would be lovely. However, I have now talked myself into a few hours of TV and a bottle of wine as well as a bit of packing. Plus, it would save me money - isn't that awful?:money: I love her dearly, but she is a great traveller and I'm sure will pop up in Australia at some point. I hope:o.

BTW I do like 24 hours in A&E, I think its fab, and had I ever been a Nurse I think it would have had to be A&E for the adrenaline! Don't know if I can fit that in between TOWIE and Secret Eaters?:)

Only two items finishing tomorrow on eBay . Never mind, will still have 29 listed and room for 20 more if I can find anything else!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Have two huge bags to take to the Post Office. Think I will have to get the bus into town to go to one of the Post Office's which have more than one counter, or else no-one will get served in Uxbridge before lunch!:eek:

Another lot finishing in two days, and the last lot on Friday I think.:D

Have finally redeemed £8 Paypal with My Survey, I'm officially done with them. Just £1.50 then I can redeem £10 M&S vouchers with valued opinions (I'm thinking Dine in for 2 for £10 ), then I'm done with them. Global Testmarket and New Vista Live are both heading for payouts and I will carry on doing them from Oz and have the cheques sent to my Mother in Law's address for her to put in our bank account. I'm fairly organised and have already changed the address on both of these . Off to have a quick squidge at Maximiles, and see if I can get anything from them.

gargrave50

The NHS have Maximiles under the heading of gambling, so the site is banned . Will check it on the laptop in the morning.

Not a bad little shift so far, except I'm working with a moron.

Hanging in there until 2.20am when the bank realises its Wednesday and take a look at how the savings are doing.

Have a huge to do list, which I just seem to be adding to instead of ticking off:(.

Found a voucher for Ask Italian for second main course for just £2, so using this when I meet my friend for lunch on Friday .

One of the girls from work is trying to talk me into going out drinking tomorrow afternoon / evening. I'm going to give it a miss and stay in drinking and giving my TV one last big hug:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

gargrave50

Somebody else emailed me re: the ironing board, iron and clothes airer lot for £12 - come and get it - I want your money!!!!

gargrave50

I am so tired, roll on break time.:undecided

Decided to stay up and go to the Post Office for it opening at 9am. Will need to stick a few pounds on my oyster card to make sure I have enough to get me in and out of town, and enough for another journey on Friday. Will pop into Tesco after the Post Office and pick up some little treats for my TV night, maybe even another bottle of half price wine:j.

Then I have an appointment for a sunbed at 16.45 (no lecture required - I know, but I don't wear make up and it stops me from appearing like I'm at deaths door). There is a nice little takeaway next door, so might treat myself to that (less than £5) to take back to the TV . Sorted.

Then all day Thursday to post the next batch of items, plus its the day my bank is paid , and I'm expecting 2 nightshifts worth ~ £380. Nightshift that night (bank of course ), and my friend is the Consultant on call, so should be a nice shift.

Because I am super disciplined of course, I will be transferring all my bank money and half of hubby's salary on Friday ~ £240 to the savings. That would be a nice little total deposit of around £620 into the savings.

Change of plan - again:mad::j:mad::j (I really can't decide).

I have now been rebooked for the shift on Labour Ward tonight. Bloody typical! Will email the gumtree lady for the TV and say tonight is fine to collect as originally planned:o.

Can still do the sunbed, but really shouldn't wait up until 9am to go to the Post Office, and the bottle of vino isn't really required:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Will have some wine late Friday afternoon after the lunch with my friend instead. Not too late, I'm working Saturday morning:A.

Instead will go straight to bed, and get up at 3pm. Can then go into Uxbridge, do the Post Office, get my eyebrows tinted and threaded and my underarms waxed:p. Quick trip to Tesco to pick up the half price wine for Friday afternoon, then hop on the bus along for the sunbed. Back in time for the nice lady to give me her money and take the TV etc, then quick shower and bobs your Uncle it will be time for work:D.

I was going to be all pouty about it and say no to the shift, but £180 is £180. It's half a weeks rent in Oz on the property we are initially renting (the furnished one for 10 weeks), and that's the way I should be looking at it.

A little of the eBay money has dribbled into the savings account, and my new Aussie pot balance stands at £1003.96:j.
