    **I'm not really here**
    Just finished my job application form and submitted it. It took me 2 solid hours!
    I hate filling them in so much, it drains me lol

    oh god can I relate to that statement!! I have done to date between 8-900 cvs and apps!! YUCK
    [irrational rant mode]
    I absolutely hate paying off debt with completely arrogant idiots who do not listen to reason or the case history!

    However I must celebrate as I am currently 7.67% into my debtbusting and am proud of that.

    Now to finish a book and then send some begging to some proofreaders on here. My 10k is for my creditors to tell them to go and swivel - and if it seams I hate them - I DO with a passion.

    I am in a situation where I am working to get out of debt - a situation I was stupid enough to get myself into through having no self control. However self hatrid is never productive - so I choose to use the debt as what I hate - and its representatives are the dca's and creditors.
    [/rant mode]

    Sorry guys - needed to vent or it will show in my writing

    Well done on the reduction of debt. I have just got into a plan so am really looking forward to seeing it decrease as well!! BTW, if you still want some help proofreading, just give me a shout! No charge of course
    The pattern designer for the wee lambie I did hasn't had the courtesy of replying unfortunately, which I presume I must take as no, you're not getting permission. I then found an incredible designer and fell madly in love with this:

    and although she was really lovely about it, she doesn't allow selling of finished items. So this would have to be a friends and family exercise.

    That is soooooooooooooooo cute, and me please!!!

    I am so p1ssed off I can barely type
    The make up I had listed on ebay sold as a BIN for £500. This as I said earlier made me a tidy profit of £220.
    What I hadn't banked on though is that I had the "post to worldwide" box ticked and the costs as £7.50.
    Well the buyer lives in Switzerland as luck would have it and to save hassle I took it to the post office to see how much it will cost me as I dont mind swallowing some of the postage costs from the £220 profit.
    They quoted me £46 plus insurance!!!!! (robbing b!rstards)
    So I have emailed the buyer explaining my mistake, and that I will refund her etc etc but I cant do a straight refund because I already withdrew the £500 from my paypal account and it is somewhere between my paypal account and my bank account!
    I am so cross with myself!

    I would check out interparcel, parcel2go, and I;m sure there are a few cheap couriers out there too.... Personall I would send it, swallow the cost as if you relist there is no gte that you will get the same price again...

    Laura - some people really are tsfe..... the seller obviusoly doesn't know how it works... dispute the NPB as she relisted without giving you the chance to pay. She will not get her listing / FVF fees back. When a seller opens a NPB (4 days after auction end), they have to wait the set time period to give you chance to pay otherwise they loose their FVF... Silly woman has just cot herself some money. Reply to ebay red theNPB that you are willing to pay but unable as the seler has relisted.
