postingalwaysposting wrote: »Well done P :j What a great result and with the free listing I guess that helped even more. I would spend teh money on something you will use at this present time, if you have books yet to use a ipod would be more understanable. The only thing I will say is apple usually bring out thier new generations (modals) in June/July so it mayube worth you waiting until then to either get a new/better one or the current ones on sale. Thats unless you can't wait :rotfl:
Good lusk for tomorrow
Thanks PaP
I probably don't need the iPod either until I go away at the end of June - I have an iPhone as well but using the iPod on there eats the battery up loads and I can't have my whole music collection on it either like I had with my iPod.
I may just put it all in my VSP until such times as I actually make a decision on which to buy 1st - by then I may even have enough to buy both

Fantastic result with the eBay stuff P - well done! I've been going through sorting stuff out ready to go on next time they do free listing - I have a load of CD's not selling on there at the moment and am relisting those as they come up unsold tonight! I've also got five bits which do have bids already but don't end until tomorrow which is good. So long as I get immediate postage those can go to the post office on Monday.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Hi Everyone
A good weekend for me on the eBay front - I have sold 45 of the 60 items I had on there and they totaled £192.03 before fees :j:j
I have technically had a NSD as the only money I have spent has been on P&P for the items I have sold on eBay
I also took back some of the hard backed envelopes I bought yeterday as I got way too many - and got a refund of £13.52!
I hope everyone has had a good weekend

Hi Everyone
Posted another load of parcels for eBay sales today - and have emailed the buyers their tracking codes.
Posting another 2 tomorrow and awaiting on 1 final payment which is on its way by Postal Order then I will send their parcel and that's me done for this batch
Nearly had a NSD until a couple of the girls from work decided to go out for tea and I went along too :eek:
I am also buying a pair of waterproof boots from the Cotton traders mail order - They are on offer for £20 instead of £40 on their website, my dad has a pair and they look really comfy
Today's spends
£5.50 - Burger and beer (Diet coke) deal
£1.33 - Apples
£20 - Boots (+£4.37 p&p)
Total £31.20

Well done on your ebay sales! I'd put some on 10-day listing so still waiting for some to end, even after my mammoth listing I reckon I'll only have made around £50, but it's better than nothing and less clutter around me
Those boots look like a good investment buy.The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time
Grand Total Owed: [STRIKE]£11,000[/STRIKE]£9962 Kicking the evil HBOS card's butt: [STRIKE]£4920[/STRIKE]£4495
1% (£50) at a time member #121 - 11/100
