  • Well Done PP !:D

    I have listed 13 / 100 now....not that good i know, but loads more sorted, and loads drying in the sun outside.

    Will try and iron and list some more tonight.

    Also bought from ebay last night, BUT in my defence it was something DD1 and I have had our eye on for ages, a ribbon curling tong. I was practically about to give into DD and buy one this weekend. It's £36 everywhere else, and a lady listed one last night, brand new and without the box and inc P&P it was £12 !!
    DH had given us a tenner towards it, so what he doesnt know wont hurt him;)....so result has cost me £2 !:T

    OOps went slightly off topic there ^

    Anyway,

    IN - Nothing!!
    OUT - 2 black bins bags on doorstep for collections tomorrow.

    Bad day at work. I have had a headache for 2 days and i'm sure it's this job. Have spoken about it with oh and decided not to renew the contract. On the decluttering front, i took a parcel to the post office today. Bit miffed as i have got £40 still outstanding from ebay buyers and have had no response to my messages. Still got some items listed on ebay and more to follow this wknd.
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D

    Hey Angela - know what you mean about headache and job - off work 6 weeks now with a mad series of headaches - plan to go back this friday and guess what, headaches are back.

    What do you do, will it be easy to get other contracts

    Ebay -payers - gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrr - three no payment disputes in a week for me - never had one before - credit crunch has hit ebay!!

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    I'm currently working my way through the old/retro consoles (mega drives, snes, master system, N64, dreamcast and gameboy advance) and related games and although I have all the power leads/controllers I am missing some console - tv connection cables. Am I likely to sell them without or should I give up on profit and freecycle them?
