    Most of the time the teaching sessions are just whatever we decide to teach them, with regards to music :) Congrats on finding all those coins! Just think, if you hadn't have found them, then you would have had to pay the interest, but that's gone now! Yay :D I really dont know what to say on the diet, I'm just trying to eat healthily, but its not going well :( I'm a comfort eater, so when I'm having a bad day, I just head straight for the biscuits and things! :( Hope you've having a good day :)

    Thanks Catt!!!

    Let me know how they go!!! So exciting about your old mobile, its basically free money isnt it!! Ebaying is just the next best thing, I love it!!!! Well done on putting the mobile on :)

    What else could we put on ebay? Lets do a little ebay workshop…

    Toiletries? (I don’t have any more…)
    Books, they don’t sell on ebay
    (I guess Ill have to use the clinique samples!!!!)
    No more dvds….
    No clothes to sell,what else is saleable?? I don’t have many designer items…
    Do pens sell? Notebooks? Stationery? Postits? This sort of things?


    Any ideas??

    Pens or stickers or things that could be useful for kiddies presents/parties sell well - especially anything cartoon or film related!

    Clothes don't sell that well for me.

    Electronics seem to sell well for my darling boyf - jammy so and so!

    Do you have a parents/relatives/neighbours/friends attic or garage you could raid in return for fees and a percentage of the sale price?

    no, I'm afraid, but will try pens...

    thanks for the tip about the clothes, I wont try them then....

    I bought a dior top on ebay though ages ago andit was fab and only 8 quid!!!!

    i wish i worked for a designed who gives me free stuff :)

    did yu know that in selfridges apparently most of the theft is by stafff: :o



    success update: Just spoke to american express moaning about some issue (they did not want to upgrade my account to premium because bad credit score, however good account keeping and no arrears.. So they offered me 2000 BA miles, that’s the equivalent of £36 if you wanted to but it and for £15000 you can have a free flight, that’s equivalent of 6 months Ba miles earned when I just normally use the card. YAY!

    Updates:

    HSBC credit card no credit and no communication. My deadline for claiming back the charges via the court was today. I don't know whether to proceed. No communication from them apart from the pathetic £20 goodwill adjustment.

    Amex: as I said before, extra 2000 miles, woo hoo!!! total mileage now: 6603. total after reward received: 8603. Miles earned this month: 600. Total: 9200. Needed for a free flight: 15000. Shortfall: 5800. Will earn: sweden travel: 500. Italy travel: 500. Europe travel: 500. New shortfall: 4300. Provided that I earn 600 miles a month, I need 7 more months to qualify for another flight. (but maybe they will ahve promotions like half price sale in which case I can have a free flight at 7500 points, yay!

    (sorry if this was boring)

    ebay: thinking about what ese to sell. No ideas to be honest.

    More later! :)

    Awww don't be down!!! It's great that you haven't got half a ton of c**p like I have - most of which won't sell anyway! :rotfl:

    What do you think about speculating to accumulate?

    A lot of people (ask on the eBay boards for better advice) but 'job lots' from eBay and then re-sell individually for more money. Just a thought!
