Natty's Kicking her Mortgage in the Pants Diary

nattypants

Thank you for the posts virtual world friends:T

I think ammonite is quite correct re. eb*y where I am an unknown entity as a seller, whereas the other seller has 100% feedback.....I did check again (sorry MG), the other bids are over twice as much as mine - although my watchers have increased to 15, perhaps late bids towards closing? If not, my one and only bidder will get a real bargain!

Regarding the car, I will just have to sit tight and either swallow the large bill or 'celebrate' a further reduction. It could be tons worse, some folks (especially on DFW board) are really struggling with debts on little or no income, whereas my worse-case scenario is minimising mortgage O/Ps in the short term. Ah well, lesson learned:wall:

Another great day with my work buddies:D my sides and cheeks were sore with laughter and I had a meeting with an external colleague who handed me a large bag of 'housie' magazines as a wee gift:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I am feeling a wee bit headachey tonight, lots of bugs going about just now which I think may have found their way into my system. Nothing that a good dose of chocolate won't sort out though;)

Looking forward to chillaxing with diaries tonight and catching up with friends over the weekend. Oh and selling big style on eb*y:p

Should be exciting watching ebays end though!

I would love it if a wee bidding war starts tomorrow HDK:D How are you getting on?

When my eb*y ends, is there anything to stop me from re-listing there and then?

Oh my goodness, I have started to watch Stand Up....on Ch4, absolutely heartbreaking stories - terrible disease X

Hi Natty

Sorry to hear that the car has been causing you stress.

I like you was most :eek: to see the boards were down last night. I was all settled on the sofa (first night this week had chance to sit down) ready to have a spin round the boards ... and nothing! LOL

I can't bring myself to watch the Ch4 thing - as I lost one of my best friends last year to the evil disease - and even a year on it's still very raw. Great fundraising though

Good luck on the ebay sales. You could well have a last minute flurry of activity - especially if you have a number of watchers. I tend to find that a lot of people these days don't bid until the last possible time to try and prevent them getting outbid by the auto-bid things. Will keep my fingers crossed for you

HelenDaveKids

Yes, intend to relist straightaway as its free listing again this weekend. Not sure how many times you can, Im assuming till they sell?? I did take a bit of each though.

Must say, I do watch the last few minutes. Best was time sold 1930s doors (earlier in year and very first ebay sales) and they did literally bid war. Fab! Then followed quickly a fear they would think they paid too much but as Id described them all accurately and started at 99p, didn't get any negative comments when collected! I had bought 7 for 99p and used 2 in house (as just needed 2 more for renovation) and sold rest for £70 in total. class it as my best EVER buy!

Watched Not going out, in my job, tend to avoid that sort of programme.

Thanks BookWorm and HDK -I also find these programmes difficult to watch. Actually, I'm now watching Tuesday's episode of Cuckoo (v. funny!)

HDK - £70 sale is FANTASTIC:T You must have been over the moon....it just goes to show that you never know!
I intend to re-list (if I can), as nothing to lose. I must remember to buy brown paper tomorrow as regardless what happens, I still have 2 bids and will parcel for posting on Monday. Hopefully I can build up positive feedback so that buyers won't fear me:p

HelenDaveKids

The buyers dont seem to leave feedback though, I always leave feedback as its like a courtesy but I bet out of 10 sales Ive only got 2 feedbacks. or it comes much later.

Still watching Not going out. Glass of wine and bag of McCoys. Bed soon as up at just after 5.30.. boooo

Yeah I found that too. I noticed when I buy things that the seller would only leave feedback after I had done so for them first - and so now I do the same. Seems to encourage more/quicker feedback that way...

Oh nooooo 5.30am:eek:

I've had no wine tonight at all, not too sure whether I'm feeling a bit bleurrghh with possible lurgy or whether the £2.99 wine just doesn't cut the mustard and I need to go back to my usual £10 but for half-price bottles.......
I made myself hot milk earlier on and sprinkled very out-of-date cinnamon on top v.:money: of me.

I think that on-demand still has Peep Show episodes so might just get cosied for bed and watch those. Then manifest some eb*y sales in my sleep.

Hope work is okay for you tomorrow, and we can compare our eb*ying soon:D
