My eBay total is over the £500 mark with a LOT more items yet to be listed. Plus, I am going to be doing a big trying-on session and I'm sure there'll be even more items I can add.

Hi Gals!
You've been busy this weekend!
I've had a good weekend myself went to FWB house on Saturday and we had cocktails and watched telly and I got breakfast! (had to demand it of course!):p
I am so jealous of all your ebaying- I don't tend to buy hogh value items or even stuff that I would want to get rid of. I tend to keep my stuff forever as I don't do clothes shopping really- I spend too much on consumables!:o
I have been going crazy lately cos of the usual preparations for holidays- I get a list of stuff to buy from dad and get my money back from him- obviously leading to getting a shopping head on- bought 3 dresses and some stuff from Bodyshop (and some stuf from thorntons)- yes I know very naughty!:cool:

Hi Ziggles
I had loads of designer crap I never used/wore. I had too much stuff in general; who the hell needs over 100 pairs of pants? I just binned a pair of jeans and 3 t shirts as well. Got 8 parcels to send out to eBay customers today.

Evening girlies,

How are you all?

I had a really random dream last night - we all met up for a shopping trip lol. And Anglea and me was stood in the shop, and I was trying to explain to her how to get the best discount and how to do creative returns, and me and CL was arguing over who gets the last handbag neither of us really wants lol.

I am feeling a bit aprehensive about Saturday - I dont want to say worried because im not sure thats how i feel. Just a bit nervous perhaps, i hate undressing in front of people, so hope i dont have to do that, also a bit worried how to politely say i dont like something on.

Also - if theres nothing I want out of the batch she shows me, im worried about how to tell her because im going to have been with her for two hours and shes on a commision - will her advise even be valid, or will it just be lines theyve not sold many of this week.

Why do i do stuff like this lol.

Hi Nglady

I often dream when I am apprehensive about something

Don't get talked into anything you don't like just because she's on commission. If she is good at her job she should be able to find suitable things for you. As for undressing, I'm sure they will provide a cubicle. If it was me, I think the staff member would be going in the cubicle - lol

Hi all, but especially Anglea, as it's confession time.

Went to see the muse today - travelled down on a really early train, tube, train and he picked me up at the station and we went dog walking in the woods which was really nice - dogs and me don't really go together but they were lovely, all five of them! And so was the muse.....

I spent the rest of the day shopping, and having lunch and a few drinks before I came home.

Anglea

Hi all

NGlady that was funny about the dream. Did I understand what you were telling me? Also what did I look like as my FB pic is just some flowers LOL

I used to have some pics on there but after reading about all those security worries I took them off a long while ago.

Ziggles what's it with your FWB and breakfast - at least you got some this time. What cocktails did you have? Between the sheets? Or a S.C. S (too naughty to write) Can't remember what's in them but I've drunk them long ago..

NGlady, personal shopper -perhaps if you have a maxi dress you can get changed underneath it? Tell her you'll only buy anything if your Dman likes it.

Anglea

Fr, thank goodness he turned up at the station after all that travel, yes I'm 'on alert' whenever you mention him, usually because of the way he tends to treat you.

So what is his secret - why does he ignore you - did you ask?

Glad you managed with the dogs. I wonder if you took any pics?

Well, he left it with me last night saying that he was going to be very busy but it was up to me if I still wanted to go and see him. I didn't confirm I was on my way until I was almost there as I had to leave here so early. When he got my message he said to ring when I got to the station and then said he would pick me up in 10 mins.

I still have no idea why he sometimes doesn't reply to my messages and that contact seems to be sparse and I just think I have accepted that is the way it is. I just enjoyed the time we were together today, though it is a strange relationship (for want of another word) and he is a quiet person as well

No photos - I travelled light, no camera and my phone doesn't have one. Dogs are very well behaved - two are his and the rest are ones he walks for other people which he does every day. They were scampering loose in the woods a lot of the time - we walked quite a way, it was good exercise

Hi All -

Anglea, I think you just played along - cant really remember

Frog. NAUGHTY going to see him, BUT glad you went on to have a really nice time in his company I think with him, hes ones of those where you have to enjoy the moment you have together rather than thinking too much into it. Did you mention the man in Turkey to him? (Beau isnt it?)

GOOD idea re Dman, however annoyinly (this is one of the main reasons for our fall outs) he never has an opinion on stuff, and i doubt very much he would say his opinion in front of the lady. Perhaps I will have to be honest with her if i dont like/dont want/ think its too expensive for what it is. Im sure shes had more difficult customers than me before with more stringent requirements, all I require is a couple of outfits that suit me and I suit that and i've decided to invest in beach clothes this time ahead of my hol in October. I dont really want anything too much, but I really love plazzo trousers atm, but i dont have the figure for them, so im thinking some nice beach ones where I could even wear over here if i was going swimming or something

Lol yeah i think she'd hide if I started undressing lol. but again, im sure shes seen worse!

Re what you look like Anglea - i think u had longish hair.
CL - had dead long black hair!
