  • Hi Everyone
    A pretty quiet day today - I saw a thread last night on here about Music Magpie so thought I would check it as I have several DVD's I could do with getting rid of. I put in all the barcode numbers and for the lot it came up as just over £18 bearing in mind it is 18 DVD's and 8 are box sets. SO I am chancing Ebay with them and if they don't sell then I will go with Music Magpie. I have also listed some books on Ebay today as well so again will see what happens about those.

    Spends today
    £14.49 on (Photo paper 100 sheets of A4) for my friends Wedding Invites that I have agreed to help make! :eek: I have paid for all the supplies for them as their Wedding Present.
    Not all the paper will be needed for the invites so I will be able to use the paper from my own use as well.

    Back to work tomorrow and the Dentist :eek: 3rd time lucky for my check up!

    Thanks EH
    Thankfully the Dentist is only a check up BUT I have had to cancel twice in the last month due to the bloody snow! :eek:
    It's the 1st time I have listed so many items on Ebay some are pretty small pieces, like the lithographs that I got for free when I bought the Disney Movies they represent, all are in pretty good nick but its just if people want them.
    I have had 1 item with a bid against it so far and another 5/6 with watchers so fingers crossed that number rises in the next week :)

  • Hi everyone
    Had a busy day at work and started earning extra pennies as well :D
    I started today collecting a little girl from school after work - I am also going to pick her up and drop her off 3 mornings a week so some extra pennies each month for me until the summer when they move to England :(

    Had another sneaky look on ebay today - 24 items now have watchers
    :T
    Technically had a NSD as I went to the shops with my mum's money :D:j:T
