  • Jeeso! Look at me, I'm shaking with excitement!!
    Right,
    RPTB is currently standing at £50 earned.
    My ebay sales (two closing this week, two next week) are currently at £44.50
    Commission yet to be paid of £35.......

    So that's a pending.......£129.50 with a view to increase!
    Inland revenue bill (£117.22) will be cleared in the next week! WOOO HOOOOOO!
    :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    I won't add any earnings to my RPTB total untill payments are recieved tho.
    To thoose of you reading my diary, I know I'm rambling quite a bit with updates about ebay totals and what not, but it's really spuring me on.

    AND I've got three repeat bidders who've come back to me to try their luck at my auctions, it feels so good. I can't believe that's one bill almost gone from two weeks of ebaying. I wish you guys could see me smiling.

    Anyway that's one down and the next is scottish power gas bill £212.23
    Starting that with the £12.28 run over from ebay totals 'till now.

    You probably did see them hon, I changed my ebay name to something more suitable and quirky :p I'll PM you it in a mo. I dont want to mention it here because I don't want ebay traffic comming this way. I'd much rather preferr to keep my diary MSE based x Cheers :D xx

    Hello missus! Thanks alot. I'm popping over to see the bf tomorow, got litterally £10 to last me untill wednesday and to post two ebay items, AND my gas is going to cut out tonight because I don't have the cash to top it up. BUT, I'm still smiling :D
    You have a great weekend too, I've got some work to do (seeing as I'm a paid taxidermist lol) but I'll be in bed before 12 to avoid the night chill. xx

  • Oh-my-GOD!
    One of my works sold to a buyer for the biggest taxidermy house in the UK! As well as selling peices, they also rent items out for TV and film production. The buyer has also bid on my other works too, now if that isn't a compliment I don't know what the heck is. I'm amazed!

    I've got alot work to do this week. Three commissions and more works for ebay too. I'm so glad I started RPTB because it's giving me back my confidence and I don't feel useless anymore. Brilliant. Cup of decaf for me then I'm off to bed. xxx
