Managed to do 20 listing alltogeter before I got bored, but that was the most important things done. Have watchers on few items so fingers crossed. Put them on 10 day listing though so will be a while before I get any money. I still have some camera gear to sell, but don't know the value of all the items yet, so need to find out before selling.
Also finally bought one nice bed linen set, and anniversary present for bf for tomorrow (hopefully it'll arrive in time...).DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0 -
Morning all.
It's mine and bf's 2nd anniversary today. We're going for a chinese, haven't had one in ages and really fancied one. I'm hoping his present arrives today. I only ordered in on Saturday night online, was supposed to get it from town when I went shopping, but didn't realise how difficult it was to get a nice set of whisky glasses with a water jug so had to do some research online. It was sent yesterday via first class post so fingers crossed it arrives at work before I finish.
I still have big doubts about our relationship but they'll just have to wait till we come back from Ireland...Plus I do love him.DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0 -
Had a lovely evening last night. After work went to bf's. He'd (finally
) bought me a lovely bunch of flowers, really gorgeous and a Finnish film, as I've been complaining it's a shame I don't get to see any. Then went for the chinese and he paid everything. We were out really early so decided to go for a drink as well and just had a really lovely time.

Yes, present arrived on time, though when I opened it up, I was disappointed first, the glasses where smaller than I expected and looked bit dingy, but I got round it and they are fine and he liked them.
I have bids on two of my ebay items so two are definitely going! One is at £12.99 and has one other wathcer, the other is going for £9.99. Another item has 3 watchers so fingers crossed.DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0 -

My mate's supposed to come round on Sunday with all the bedding goodies for me, can't wait! A proper king size duvet is the one thing I'm mostly looking forward to. And not having to spend much (only that one cheap (but nice) set I bought from amazon, though it's not arrived yet) on the bedlinen is good news as well.DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0

It will be so nice when all the new bedding arrives - One of the things we are paying £40 a month for is a Superking size bed - kind of a leather sleigh thing but I tell you the comfort - even nearly 3 years on is well worth it! It will be paid off in June which will be nice!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
