Ebay Is Like Chocolate!

I'm totally skint, but I have spent £6 in the last 2 months getting clippings of my favourite 'star', who I collect everything to do with If i can. Obviously my financial restraints mean I am now limited and rather than get all the mags for loadsa money like I used too, let everyone else buy them and I get clippings from loadsa magazines for a fraction of the price (I'd love the photos on Ebay too though *sniff sniff*)

So, as when my Ebay goods arrive, like today, I get a positive vibe and I wondered if i could get away with saying it has the same positives on my brain like chocolate? And I don't put on weight :p

Well that's my excuse *ahem*

;)

Anyone else, get the happy vibes when the postman/lady arrives? :D

    Me too! I get the buzz factor from eBay!

    It certainly satisfies any urges to shop and if I am strict and make a final bid price and stick to it, I can even get the buzz without spending any money.

    I don't actually spend 'money' either as I've stocked up the paypal account by selling unwanted items too.

    Its brilliant, but I still haven't lost weight!
    Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!
