    And that .58% makes it sound LOADS more than just plain old 29% ;)

    It means you're closer to 30% than 29% too :)

    Kerfuffle - it was sooo annoying. Looks like it'll go in bootsale box & prob sell for 50p. Unless i naughtily stick it back on for buy it now. Probs shouldn't!
    I would list it again and maybe remove the condition bit in the box that say's Used, New etc. There are loads of listings for used cosmetics, I suspect that a seller with a listing for the same stuff may have dobbed you in. Perhaps wait a few days for their listing to finish. I've sold used White Company moisturiser for £12 that I bought for 50p from a car boot! (I did describe it as used in the description)

    How come some items just don't sell, cosmetics, even if they're brand new and sealed, good make etc and starting price is 99p? I had a nice Weleda scrub that just wouldn't shift, still have it actually. Haven't sold anything on ebay for probably a year now as got fed up with it (did sell actually quite a bit, just some things wouldn't go and couldn't be asked to try again and again). I wonder if I should have another go to shift bits and pieces and try to make bit more money.

    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Hello all,

    Still here just lurking, been struck down by recurring medical so in agony today. Would do anything for a new body today. Doped on spare antibiotics and pain killers. Well pay day next week so looking forward to that.

    Still £95.03 behind my reported total but it should be better in next few days, getting back on track.

    So sat reading everything and lurking just bit deflated.

    On a very comical note been attacked by flying chipboard and have a bruise the length of my thumb on my leg. Then went to a site yesterday and saw two near perfect lines of chickens lined up. Amazed at what I had seen looked just to the left and saw a one ton nylon type bag full of dead chickens. Should just state this was on a working farm for those who have disabilities so very mixed feelings.

    Is it any wonder I struggle when the world throws this at me.

    Off to a birthday party for kid! There goes another £20.00! Then bingo and out with the girls tomorrow night. With my pizza express voucher.

    Hurray my expenses have finally landed and my cc replacement has arrived so now all work expenses go on the cc and I shall not have to worry about them not turning up for two weeks as I'll have money :)

    Have decided to put £150 of my expenses money towards my OD payoff pot, which now stands at £210/£600 :)

    This leaves me with just over £160 in the bank with another £62 due to me tomorrow. I am hoping by the time payday comes in two weeks time that I'll still have some money leftover towards the OD pot.

    Eep just realised it's two weeks until payday! Why did I think it was next week??? Oh well, that'll be a challenge!
