    Evening
    Has anyone got any exercise clothes lurking they don't use? I have got an adidas top and leggings, nothing special, used condition and put them on ebay for 99p on Sunday, they are already at £2.20 and have 18 watches! All I can think is maybe people are marathon training? And before you ask they are not smelly and it's not a private listing!:rotfl: Off to watch survivors now, although it's getting a bit dark and violent for me but I do secretly fancy Tom!


    have I got exercise clothes!! Well I was planning on using the, but I suppose if they go at that price I shall just have to exercise in adsa's own cheapie tracckie bottoms!

    Well I have had enough of TL for today, 12 items listed, all but 3 are bundles of kids clothes with at least 30 items in each bundle, one has 113 items!!! I haven;t even started the pile of items I want to list on their own.....
    What have I started ???!!! :eek:

    I get to watch footie...great!
    I want a journalism job. I didn't think you could get them on a basis I could use but the one that was posted a few weeks ago really caught my attention...I love writing, and I'd love to be a journalist. I write for so many American magazines and blogs, and I've been published quite a few times, but I don't think it's unachievable...it just doesn't seem to happen for me.
    It would be so useful right now while we are saving, too. Grr.

    Anyways, onwards and upwards, right?

    I would love to write for a living! I won my first writing award when I was 10 and have loved writing ever since. Have written a couple kiddies books many many years ago, but never did anything with them, have a cookbook just about finished and working on the concepts of a book in the style of one of my fav authors.

    Saucy I am sure you will make it happen with your writing and yes, onwards and upwards!

    how much do you think i should charge they are the swivel clasp ones thought they would be ideal for kids starting school as they can easily be attached to zippers /bags ect cost of goods work out at 21.5 p each plan to make 200 initially .think i am going to approach p/a at kids school and see if they want to sell them at the school when they do the school uniform order for new intake and give them a cut .
    hales havent done my ebay as decided to take the items to boot sale so have invested in fold up table moving house soon so need one anyway and also going to invest in clothes rail got to pass those teddies on somewhere lol

    ohhhh a free teddy, now that would be very hard for me to turn down lol! All being well I will be in Glenrothes on the 19th and going back on sunday at some point! Just keeping fingers crossed that I can scrape the petrol money together as I seriously need to get out for a couple of days!

  • I've just boxed up something i sold on eBay and sorted out 2 phones, one for envirophone and one for mopay? i think. I put all the pics etc on a memory card (been meaning to do that for about a year!!) and went through all the messages on them. I actually feel a bit weird now :(

    BUT it had to be done and i'll enjoy spending the money when it's all paid and Quidco's sorted out.

    Oh and i've sat and picked half my hair extensions out and made myself look all lopsided :eek:
