Single and in Debt Part 3- The problem of surplus and excess women

sarahb123_3

Hello all:)

Just back from shopping, I bought a digital camera (Boots points) a memory card (Boots points) and a small set of digital scales (nectar points) so has not cost me anything:) but has severely depleted my points stash:(.

It's all in a good cause though as I hope to be ebaying over the weekend:D. The camera is charging and I am going to have a practice with it later and try to put something on ebay tomorrow. :j This is all reliant on me understanding the instructions of course so I may be back on here soon begging for help:D.

Whilst shopping I saw the most beautiful wine glasses ever and had to force myself to walk away:( Boo!

I have managed to squeeze all my music magpie stuff into the box my candles came in so that has saved me some money for packaging and I will go to the post office later. I am only sending £17 worth but every little helps, am still waiting for cheques for the game I sold and my other phone, should be around £35 for everything plus I made about £20 through TCB and have a new phone to sell which should get me another £35 ish. :j

Hope everyone is having a good weekend:)

You don't have to apologise to me for buying shoes unless you're called Lula so you have got away with it:D.

Love those boots! I have only one mobile its 3 years old nearly and a nokia 6230i and I have not topped it up to save cash. I have no spare phones to sell, my digi camera needs replacing and can't afford one.

Been to see my mx 5 friend today he fixed my reflector on again as the original fell off and tuned my radio stations for me on the jap stereo. He has convinced me to but a cone shaped K & N Air filter for my car as it improves the sound of the engine but also decrease fuel consumption too. they can be bought for £40 But this is the nice thing I want for my car its gorgeous:-

I know you girls may find this sad, but really I love making the car look nice and pleasure to drive.
Hes an ace guy he told me not to give him the £10 I owed him till I had been paid.

I got my direct debit instruction for the three copies of essentials for a £1 so will get first issue in march or april and then will cancel it when £1 has been deducted.

feeling much happier today I got out and about. :rotfl:

I am rather impressed with myself today:) I managed to get a digital camera, memory card and digital scales free (well, using points) and despite never having handled a digital camera before today I have managed to set it up, take pictures, trasfer them to my laptop, create 3 ebay listings with pictures and work out the p&p using the scales and the royal mail website and I now have 3 items for sale:j:j:j

Sadly no one has yet even looked at them, never mind place bids:( but you can't have everything:D

I've been suffering today had an hangover, went out for a friends 40th, but wanted to say well done Sarah on ebay, I think when I first started on this thread you said you'd never get the hang of it, but you have.
Well done Lula on the boots I love going to tk max, got some good things in the past.
Tracey if you need to talk about your dad I've been there with my mum, it wasn't nice at the time but I met some really brave people at the hospitals, I could never understand were they got so much hope from, but I suppose it's all you have left.

By Friday I will:

• move some bagged clothes to wardrobe
• [STRIKE]use empty basket to store car boot stuff[/STRIKE] done
• sort out any shoes that can be ebayed
• [STRIKE]post music magpie stuff[/STRIKE] done

I have now spent a whole month decluttering and it still doesn't look much better. How is this happening to me?:( Hopefully my room will look a lot better in a couple of months when I have sold the contents of it:)

It will get better. Rome wasn't built in a day. The main thing is that you've started to process and made massive progress....I mean, for heaven's sake, you listed three things on ebay today!!!

I know, it's a work in progress:D. It would look a lot better if I hadn't thought about ebay as I would have thrown a few things out, I will just have to wait until I have sold them.

Gwen, you should definitely give ebay a go, I managed to get the hang of it in a couple of hours and I am rubbish at this sort of thing. I think I will feel a lot better when some of the clutter is gone and if you have things to sell it is an easy way to make money.

I have a bidder on one of my items:j
