    Ohh... congrats on the bodywarmer sale! :T

    I made a staggering total of £39 on my ebay listings. No mad flurry at auction closing, but that's because I listed them at/after midnight, so people probably didn't want to hang around and wait for them finishing. Got £18 for an apple power adapter for a laptop we haven't even had for the last 6 years! £6 for my wee canon camera that I thought would go for more. :(

    And the 4 prs of BNWT M&S Knickers (that cost me £6 new) went for £7.50!! :rotfl:

    Haven't got any more listed at the moment but will spend this week packaging and sending this lot and taking more photos and then list at a reasonable hour on Thursday night for 10 days and watch the cash flood in :D

    That £39 is cash you never had!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:about the £1.50 profit on the knickers!

    Apparently Thursday nights are great to list aiming to finish on the Sunday, although I am going to totally ignore that well known fact and list a barrage load today:D.

    I think your excuse is a little more convincing than mine;).

    Yes, today is filled with a couple of trips to the dump to get rid of proper rubbish, then ebaying the rest on eBay:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Also want to pop the £50 into the bank that my neighbour gave me - she is also buying our BBQ off us (just haven't gotten around to moving it out of our garage:o).

    Have hubby's golf clubs to photograph and list on Gumtree. Had quite a few emails re: the Gumtree ads from yesterday so hoping something comes of that.

    Also, the hamster is going free to a good home, with a nice little £10 for the cage and accompanying food supplies etc:j.

    Ooh that sounds exciting, just make sure she doesnt rock up in a great big van and take everything away today. You might just be a little uncomfortable living with absolutely no furniture for the next couple of weeks !! :D

    I am being inundated with requests to collect the fierce one (the hamster).

    Have emailed the lovely lady from yesterday to make sure she still wants her, before I reply to the others saying "call it a lucky escape" ;).

    Someone is coming to collect the TV unit we have in the attic around 6.30pm. :j:j:j £30 in the coffers:D.

    The hamster lady has thought better of it, so I've emailed the other 2 interested parties and said "come and get it".

    Have been ebaying and Gumtreeing most of the afternoon, and it's all looking rather good. The weather has been so rubbish, I haven't ventured out to get the golf clubs to put them up for sale.

    Never mind, have a lovely big pot of soup on the go, and its been a low spend day with just £2.90 spent at the Post Office sending off an ebay sale.:j

    Still more ebaying to be done this evening, and have to pop up and tidy the loft just now for the "buyer" coming.

    Have also listed the car on Autotrader for 2 weeks (online only), as I'm very keen to make sure it sells :D. On that note, should really look out the log book!!!!icon_flucht.gif
