    Someone bought an empty iPhone 6 box for £3.50. :eek:

    I ended up with £79 in total.

    just wanted to say be wary about selling empty boxes/perfume bottles/packaging as people use them to sell fakes to unsuspecting people who think they have the real thing inside as it is in the 'real' packaging.
  • I once sold a case for an old xbox game I had. A bidding war started and it went for like £20. Fearing that they misunderstood that the game wasn't included, I got in contact with to ensure they knew it was just the case. The guy was surprisingly blas! about it and wanted the case and was happy to pay for it haha!

    Anyway, congratulations Louby. Amazing the stuff you can find lying about.

    Not posted for days....I had to trawl through the pages for an age and thought my diary had been deleted. But no, phew, it!!!8217;s still here.

    Definitely think I!!!8217;m spreading myself too thin. I!!!8217;ve paid 8 payments off my kitchen and I have 16 or so left to pay. I have 9 more payments on my car too, so come Jan 2019 I can throw a bit more at the kitchen.

    I suppose I!!!8217;m being very MSE as I have pots for Christmas, car and emergency fund which total about £1300 so I do have money if things go wrong.

    The rent my partner gives me goes straight into my savings and is what I use for occasional treats. I do live within my monthly budget but I always feel guilty if I buy anything extra. I spent £28 on 3 things from Tesco, a dress and 2 tops but I did feel bad.

    Everything is on plan and I suppose I have to keep remembering that!
  • Hey!

    Well done on the savings! You've came a long way since 2 years ago so a little indulgence is allowed.

    As you say, everything is under control so no need to feel guilty about it.

    What's the NSD target this month?

    Hi Louby,

    Why does your post have lots of 8217's in?!

    £28 in Mr T's isn't too bad... you'd spend more than that one 1 item in some shops :money: xx

  • Yeah Louby, somethings not quite right. I feel like it's the Da Vinci Code trying to decipher your posts haha!

    I have no idea what!!!8217;s going on with my posts - they are perfectly normal until I hit post! Then something happens to them? Only seems to happen on my own diary. Not when I post on others?? Very strange?
