  • thanks everyone, i ended up having to stay at my friends last night, she downloaded paranormal activity and watched it herself and was freaking out!
    So i got a taxi down there at 10:30 last in in my jammies, lol! She came down and paid for the taxi though!

    Anyhoo, have made £20 on the Lush Forums so far :)
    And i am writting down everything i have made, so that when it hits my account i know whats "mine" and whats money from sales, which is going to straight to my debt!

    My plan for today, is to package up everything thats been sold, then i am going to GUT my wardrobe and list some more stuff on Ebay.
    The things i have on Ebay just now (soap and glory and hair products) finish in 3 hours, 2 have a few bids on them now!!

    I watched this the other night, and have to admit it scared me aswell!! :o

    Well done on the sales, you are turning a corner - good to see you really making the effort :D:T Just make sure you pay it straight to your debts before you can spend it. Well done though, keep up the good work!!

    I woke up before her this morning, and started watching it, but i got as far as them getting into bed on the first night, and the lights turning off. Then switched it off, cause i thought something was going to happen, lol!


    right i am fed and watered now, so i am off to completely rip apart my wardrobe!

  • So still no sign of my money being refunded! I phoned them yesterday, and they told me they had only processed it yestrday! AHHHHH! I've been waiting since Monday as well! Said it should be in on Monday, so fingers crossed!

    Today is going to be day 2 of my big clear out. Not going to start on the clothes just yet, as i already have a LOT of big things listed on ebay, and i need to remember that i need to walk 20min to the post office with all these parcels when they sell! (notice how i said when and not if!)
    Planning on clearing out the dreaded junk drawer i have, i'm sure there is a load of purses and bits and pieces on there i could list today that aren't too heavy!

    On another note, my little brother is having 6 friends staying tonight :eek:
    He turned 13 on Wednesday, and this is what he wanted! I have been roped into giving them my tv, so they can have his xbox linked to his tv, and his ps3 linked to my tv in his room. So they can play both at once!! Not only that he has the same game for both ps3 and xbox, so they can be playing the same game!
  • Well have posted some more bits and pieces and some make up on Ebay. I think thats enough for now, my bedroom looks like a riot with all the rummaging thats been going on here.

    Think i am going to my friends tonight to escape the invasion of teenage boys!
