    Have actually listed the sofa on Gumtree, and a pair of trainers on eBay - so I have actually made a start. ;)

    Off to get stuck in.

    I love your diary whether it's about debt-busting (which it was before oz sprung up :D ) or moving or selling! I hope you continue with it! It gives me something to look forward to after becoming debt-free (it WILL happen gawd dang it)

    And Pinot, get a hard drive and download the desperate housewives from there. I have all but the last series on my hard drive. And i watched the last one and cried like a baby when it finished :( what will i fill my evenings with now that has finished. RIP desperate housewives ( :p )

    Yes Mamm !!! I have a hard drive, not sure I know how to work it but Mr Pinot definiately does ! You now need to watch Cougar Town from beginning to end if you havent already !! x

    Well done. I have talked about listing something today, but havent got aroudn to it ! Have 10 items on at the moment, two to post off and one to be collected, so I suppose I'm not doing too bad. Just had a quick break from work, my eyes were hurting so I have skimmed around with the feather duster. Was worse than I thought ! Oops !! :o

    I might even continue with the rest of the voucher ones too - as dull as they are, I could continue redeeming vouchers and sell them on UK eBay? Just need to find a willing poster :).

    Surely with the vouchers (Amazon, etc) you could still use them, for sending gifts direct to UK family at xmas (get them to giftwrap it) which will save you even more money than shipping a boat load of gifts from the land of Oz! :D

    Moving to Australia is the best excuse not to buy gifts don't you know ;)

    Might see how many of them let me register with an Australian address.

    Just popping in mid eBay listing, to say I've had an email about an item of my furniture on Gumtree. It's an Ikea Chaise for £100, they want it for £80. I've countered with £90 - hope I haven't scared them off:eek:.

    I've just worked out what you can do when you run out of things to sell. You can come to my house and get rid of my [STRIKE]tat[/STRIKE] treasures for me. I still haven't migrated to fleabay seller. Naughty Granny.

    I cannot believe that 1 month from today you will be there.
