seasideDreamer

Another UU Skin Wisdom Moisturiser WBA its good stuff and nice and cheap for when there's no offers on the expensive body butters.

Have more things uu/out

No7 Blissful body wash - WBA, adore this range, have a mini one of these left in the stash.

BS Volume Mascara - has been open a few months now although it was still going strong. Nice enough but not particularly volumising I didn't think. Have replaced it with a Benefit They're Real mini which I had already opened to try.

Avon Sheer Skin Tint - this is a moisturiser with spf20 and a very faint tint to it, it was given to me by a neighbour but I found it too rich for my face so have passed it to DH.

Despite having got rid of over 60 items today my bedroom/bathroom still looks cluttered:(.

UU

100ml Clinique happy perfume - WBA this was on the 'hit list' from earlier this month as its years old and in danger of becoming a 'melted pink rose candle'.

150ml Philip Kingsley Elastisizer - WNBA appreciate this is a cult product but it didnt work for my hair.

and yet more ins:

A mini tin of 3 coca cola lipbalms - this is a fun stocking filler for my sister.

19 Lush items from an online order. The nearest shop is an hour away and although I am planning a trip with DD during half term next week the order has saved on a lot of lugging around.

DKNY Red Delicious 50ml

Bought it in the perfume glich at Boots so paid £22 instead of £48, no luck selling on ebay and people on my local selling page are offering me £10-£15 and that was before boots put it on a half-price offer! TBH it's an expensive perfume and I'd rather keep it if I'm only going to get £15 for it! I've put it up for £20 no offers, if it hasn't gone by this evening then I'm keeping it for myself!

That's exactly my view. Went to a specialised car boot at the weekend and was so depressed, cost me £10 for a table, wasted 4 hours and sold 3 things that came to a total of £11 so £1 profit :eek::mad: don't know what people want, they come along, pick up everything you have, ask the price say its too much and then walk off :mad: My first and last time of doing it.
People just want everything for nothing these days. Now having emptied my house I have to put it all away again but it has made me realise just how much stuff I have stashed away. A lot still in the packaging that it arrived in never even opened because it was a bargain!!:(
I am going to have to get it away, trying to see via f/b just now, still a huge amount of time wasters or people offering crazy ridiculous offers, makes me mad:(

The trouble is people won't pay for trackable postage and now that they're taking fees from postage as well, it's becoming less and less worthwhile bothering on ebay at all! :mad:

It shows how long it's be since I sold anything on eVay, I didn't realise they were charging for postage! How much are they charging now?

I haven't sold anything since postage rates went up, and I've not bought very much either - absolutely everyone is charging £4 postage (probably that's the actual cost to them now!) but it takes a 99p frivolity up to a £5 'do I really need it'

That's exactly the same as me :eek: I didn't know they took fees from postage either. :mad:
I must admit I don't look at ebay nearly as much as I used to since I got shafted by ebay and paypal :mad:, the Post Office are shooting themselves in the foot over the price to postage and the buyers know that they can put a claim in for an item that's not sent via trackable postage for a refund

After applying oil all over I thought I only had enough left in the bottle for one arm the next day so tipped it all out and couldn't rub it in due to the excess. Wouldn't have been a problem had I not then put on a pair of tights. By the time I got to work the tights were down to just above my knees. Took me longer to get to work as well as had to waddle like a penguin to try and keep the tights up!!

I keep wanting to try the Kringle candles but have still not found a stockist nearby. I did have a Starbucks Pumpkin Latte yesterday though and it was delish.

Oh VAL, this made me giggle and reminded me of the time that I must have used fabric conditioner when I washed my hold up stockings, I had to hobble home from work carrying my handbag and shopping bag with my hands in my coat pockets trying to hang on to my stockings which now had no grip:rotfl:

I just did a postcode search and found a Kringle stockist in a tiny little town close to where my Ma lives, so will have to go and see what they have:D

Did someone put in a claim because an item didn't arrive? It's really hard, because you just can't prove anything unless you track it or take photos of yourself sticking it through their letterbox. It's barely worth trying to sell unwanted goods any more though, partly because too many people are doing it. I'm dreading the price of postage now the Royal Mail has gone private - I don't know anything that hasn't just about doubled in price after going private!

I'm really liking the sound of this project pan idea. I will have a bit of a think about what I will put up for mine. Have quite a few older products that would be good to finally be rid of.

1 very small UU today. Nicky Clarke highlighting intensive conditioner. WNNTBA (will never need to buy again) still have another 24 to go. :cool:

So project pan list

1. Elemis day cream
2. Tigi rocks conditioner
3. Tigi manipulator shampoo
4. Armani Code
5. Elle macpherson foot lotion
6. M&S hand cream
7. Dirty worx body oil

I have a bit of a mix of older products in there but they are all a decent size.
