Yey !!!:j Tenner is better than nothing , well done !

I did the lottery on Wed for the first time since Christmas, I was feeling so lucky for some reason !! But the inbox has been strangely quiet ever since !:(

Hope you get a win soon PG I do the lottery every week, I know it's a waste of money, but hey, I'm NEVER going to win it if I don't do it

Hi Jwil

£10 is a nice wee sum. Sorry to hear OH not in good form. I recommend, bath and a good book:):)

Glad to hear you got a good nights sleep.

Thanks ebayqueen Bath and a good book sounds good for me

Yay - it's another tenner in the pot, better than a slap in the face with a wet fish. :beer:

Yes indeedy :j We have a joint piggy bank we put things like lotto winnings and sales from freebies into which we put towards a break each year.

I've finally sold another book on amazon :T Not a lot, but it all counts. I was having a panic as I couldn't find it. On the 5th go of looking through the same bookcase, it mysteriously appeared :huh:

I've just had a flick through my inventory on there, and books have so dropped in price :eek: I guess the demand isn't there any more due to the kindle. I may have to review it and send some off to the boot sale, but it's a bit of a task as there are 399 books on there_pale_

jwil

Morning everyone Happy weekend :T

DH has finally gone out so I've got some peace

I won the lottery again last night - a whopping £2.50 :T As it's obviously my lucky week, can you please send me vibes for some millions tonight please

Isn't it weird when that happens with things turning up where you've already looked ?

Definitely review the books - split them down into 100's and make a note of where you are up to. I did this when i had books on greenmet and sold a few following revised prices

Woohoo :j Ooh send some lucky dust this way too hon

So a mixed start to the day :undecided My savings arrived unexpectedly and got paid out. And then a flurry of eb*y messages posted about it on my thread - apparently the packaging got damaged on 1 item so the item arrived needing a clean - for a 99p item :mad: I just replied and said fine return it for a refund i read somewhere that a 99p sale = 69p made due to fees and then there's the time involved too. Another person bought something 1 week ago but hasn't paid yet and been on eb*y all week by the looks of things but was unable to contact me until today to say they didn't mean to buy it :mad: And yet another message from the person who mis-quotes the message i have sent saying i have not replied to any of their messages :mad:

I have no money available to me whatsoever. I paid out my savings before these messages arrived and have the large houshold bill i'm about to pay now and a DD due out next week and nothing else. As jwil and ebayqueen knows i had to borrow money to buy a charity shop bargain the other day too so not to thrilled that there's possibly 2 out of 3 things wanting a refund and the third item where its likely i'll just say ok then don't buy it so will lose that income

I hope your OH wasn't too annoyed that you nicked his nail polish :rotfl:

I'm going to do the books one shelf at a time I think. It will be the easiest way of doing it rather than trying to hunt down individual books.

Lucky dust heading your way

Stupid ebayers :mad: Always get them to return, it gives you a few days breather as much as anything else.

Hope you get it sorted though.

Oh, DDFW, I don't know what to say - you are having a very tricky month.

With ebay, because of the hassle and effort involved I don't sell anything that would go for less than a fiver. But if you are trying to scrape together every single penny, I can see why you will sell for lower prices. I hope the sales come good for you.

Could you do a car boot this weekend? Gather together some stuff and make a few quid at a car boot - might tide you over a bit?

Have some dodgy hugs. :grouphug:
