    MRN - I need you to bring FOCUS to this diary;)

    Ok here's some focus for you... you need to catch the trends before they happen. Bulk by a box of... say aztec print leggings... then sell on ebay. Unfortunately many other power sellers will also catch on and be selling the exact same so then the undercutting begins.

    Not bulk buying to sell... but I have started to purchase more sellable items when forced to buy for mystery shops - instead of just something I'd keep myself. That way I get reimbursed and I get to sell it on ebay without OH getting worried.

    Stop encouraging her to spend money :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hope the meeting went well and you kept warm. No snow where I am (as yet) but very, very cold:eek:

    I ordered snow boots last night (keeping this off my own diary:D) as I hate the thought of icy, slippery walks with the dog.......trying hard to stay away from expensive gloves that rhyme with mug:o:o

    HDK - I don't feel that I deserve to be part of this challenge with my pathetic drib-drab efforts:o
    But thank you anyway:D

    Dammit - how did you manage that??? (I can't even multi-quote)

    Just as well you can't access my bank account, otherwise you'd see that I have also bought 150 pairs of aztec print leggings.....wait.....Dammit.

    MRN - I honestly have a garage full (I kid you not), of potential ebayable items. The only glitch is that I am a right lazya@s who needs to photograph and list.....

    So, remember little boy racer (LBR) car?

    Well, at the time of purchase I paid for extras that weren't available at the time and are only now being fitted tomorrow. So, I arranged for courtesy car as LBR will apparently have to spend the whole day in the garage, however my insurance company have just advised me that I have to pay approx £70 to add courtesy car to my insurance tomorrow...what???!!!!!!

    So, I'm going to decline courtesy car, as tempting as paying £70 is:D

    Other than that, I have no other money news, not spending at all, no siree, being as good as gold....

    Why does the phrase 'pants on fire' spring to mind NattyPANTSONFIRE?

    I will treat your scurrilous comment with abject disapproval, you will be hearing from my lawyer who didn't cost me anything. Not a bean. No siree:money:
