    Really? I'll look into that as if it's doable that would be fab as our house generates enough mess for a dyson

    Oh! All this talk of dysons! That's what I want. We've got a vax and the maintenance is unreal! Just hate the bloody thing. I've never known a Hoover you have to regularly take apart with tools! And still never get the blooming thing free of dirt and dust. But now the noises and not picking up dirt I just want to lob it out the window.
    I've passed over to the other side - I'm buying on eBay :( there was this clutch bag I bought 5/6 years ago that I loved but it broke. I've always regretted not rebuying it but it something awful happened and pretty bags didn't seem important. Anyway brand new with tags so we shall see! 15 things on tonight lets hope I do more than break even. Whoops!
    I feel like little miss spendalot at the moment. Bought dd1 new dress and jacket yesterday! Always try and ease her into the next size up but end up having to buy the whole lot in one go. It's suddenly too small over night.
    I love my children so much and I'm so worried about them lately. So many blooming colds. Just constantly ill. I'm scared dd1 had diabetes. Probably just being dramatic but constantly getting up all night for drinks and over flowing her nappies over and over. And all the symptoms seem to fit. What a drama queen I am!
    Anyway onwards and upwards. All my credit cards are paid and nearly got hubbys sorted. Just need his pay in. Hope you're all a good mood. I think we should get a deal if we all get a Dyson :) bulk buying and all that. Must day ebays finish in 5!! Xxxx

    Now I'm upset. It all went for 99p more or less. I've got enough to cover fees for last week and tonight and that's about it. Certainly not enough for a new bag. !!!!!!.

    chin up Kitten, you're next bunch of sales will make up for it, I'm sure.

    And sometimes you are allowed a treat - a bag from eBay is small in the grand scheme of things - sometimes (and I know this is completely un-MSE!) I think a small splurge refocuses the mind because you end up feeling so mad at yourself for it!

    Haha Kirsty!! The bag hasn't induced that much guilt... Well not compared to a Dyson anyway haha. I've wanted that bag for 6 years I'm just happy it's going to be mine again!
    No I think maybe an eBay break is on the cards. I think I must have made about £20 so going to stop moaning now. Or maybe just some fixed price listings... Oh I don't know. Maybe ill be listing again for this weekend. I am a bit obsessed.
    Might put in a cheeky bid on a Dyson in a minute. Eek!
    Think I've sorted the interest problem already ;) yay! X

    One thing that's worth a try is starting your listing a bit higher than 99p. I used to do everything starting at 99p and now start at 1.99 or 3.99 or whatever and a lot still sells :)

    I am very naughty but I had hubbys permission. I managed to get a Dyson v6 absolute for £329!! Anyone want the site let me know. It's coming tomorrow and oh my does our floor need it. Two days without vacuuming and the flat is minging. I'm a bit scared to see what the new Hoover is going to show. Apparently loads of people had to clean it out repeatedly when they first bought it as it was picking up so much dirt. In between playdoh and baby food it's going to be a horror show.
    I just don't know what else to do? Buy a useless Hoover and need to buy a new one in a year or so? So this is an investment. I never paid for my original Hoover - it was a moving in present. A lot of the things I've bought have been replacements for second hand things so not the worst of the worst.
    I think the flat might just be the closest to totally tidy it's ever been. Getting the floor clear for the hoover tomorrow has been way too exciting lol.
    Hubbys naughty interest occurring balance is gone so now to attack paying off the Hoover. Let's hope hubby is well paid this month. Better get my eBay on to get the rest gone xxx

    Oh thank you kittycashcake. This is my logic. My mum told me to get a Henry but I don't like them. I don't find that they pick up enough so I use the crevice tool on the whole carpet and that hurt even before I messed up my back. X
