  • So I've got 6 watchers on the items I put on eBay yesterday but we all know that doesn't mean anything until they bid so fingers crossed!

    To keep the momentum going I'm going to see if I can find 2 items a week to sell on eBay, it shouldn't be too hard between the clothes bulging out my wardrobe and some of the crafty stuff I have lying around my place! And seriously I once sold a pair of really worn Uggs with a tear in the front to a guy in Switzerland....NOT JOKING! Hey who am I to judge.....I made £15... I'm off to rummage in the bottom of my wardrobe...

    What a great idea - although tbh I usually wait until it's free listings time. Thanks for the tip!

  • I rescheduled my hair appointments today, making them 8 weeks, not 6, apart.

    At £50 a pop, that will reduce my annual hairdressing bill by a third!
