Hi Radish, don't worry my bag and shoe buying days are behind meMe to
I'll stick to my £8 one from M@talan

Last item has finished on eb@y - £26 :T:T. It's been a well worth session and has cleared more stuff from the garage. Just under £260 but fees to come off that.
That's going straight to the mortgage
Anyone thinking of getting back into it, get stuck in - I really dislike it but it is worth it.

Hi Natty, I can't believe you are posting, I would be a jibbering wreck.
Seriously though, I really find eb@y a pain in the butt, but maybe not doing it every week/month, means you get a bit of a buzz. I'm loving the space in the garage, I'll be able to buy more loo rolls :rotfl::rotfl:2004 £387k 29 years - MF March 2033:eek:

I have a 99p bid on something already. I'm gonna be rich I tell you :rotfl:.Me too! I've listed 20 items this weekend, hope they don't all sell I hate packing things for posting!A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0
