    Hello all:)

    Am currently trapped in ebay hell, I cannot describe the tedium.:( I hate watchers who don't buy anything:mad:. However, I am determined to keep going until everything is gone. I have sold 10 things so far (and have 100% feedback:D) and have another 15 listed, but the pile doesn't seem to be going down much.:( I have loads of make up items which are only worth £2-3 each and it's going to take me forever to get through them :( It will all be worth it in the end when I have some space back and some extra money, so I just need to focus on that. :) I am already sick of queueing in the Post Office. :( I can see that becoming very tiresome indeed.

    I am still waiting for my cheques for my game and my cds:( I sent off for them ages ago so I'm getting a bit worried now. Have also had my tax disc reminder so I need to get that this month.

    make up, hope you are feeling better now:)

    Shoe Gal, glad you enjoyed the game:)

    rosa, definitely agree with taking the less stress option. :)

    Hi sarah

    Was beginning to worry that you had disappeared under a pile of ebay stuff :rotfl::rotfl:

    I'll try not too:D. Am most annoyed as I have 10 items finishing at the weekend and so far I have sold £2 worth:eek:. I just need to get it sold so I can move onto the next lot, which is ready and waiting to be photographed and loaded up.

    Had a message from music magpie that they have received my stuff, I posted it ages ago! I should get a cheque in a week or so. I also need to chase up a cheque for the game I sold a couple of weeks ago which is still not here, not sure if I can do anything about it if it is lost in the post, am going to be most annoyed if I have to write it off.

    Not much else to report, have been very busy with work and ebaying, seem to spend most of my time at the Post Office or wrapping stuff.:(

    Hope everyone is okay:)

    Me too chick. All I have done is work these last few weeks and next week will be the same. Still, not been anywhere to spend any money and had 3 NSD's. Eaten properly this week and not bought carp. Got money left and hacked off so if I don't go anywhere by next week I'm going to buy a frock!!!
