    I did DH cupboard today and decided to throw away the hair clippers I hate using where the charger wire is broken. I know I could get a new one but I hate shaving DH's hair and he can get it cut for £5 down the road.

    OH cuts his own hair, has done for years, and wouldn't pay to have it cut even if it was only £1:rotfl:. Did I ever mention he's a miser?;)

    I have nothing to do with it, he trims it himself using my set of mirrors. He just asks me sometimes if it looks OK at the back but if I say 'no' he just goes and has another go. Keeping it so short there's not a lot that can go wrong when you use clippers. Can't your DH do his himself without needing help from you?

    After mentioning Amazon sales a few posts ago I've just received notification that my seller account has now been successfully 'migrated' to their new system. I didn't opt for it, it's just an 'upgrade' of their system so let's hope it won't mean any extra complications;)

    The link to their new fees structure page brings up loads of information which, at first glance, is as clear as mud:(. Although it is from the European side of Amazon all the prices are in dollars:eek:. I've just been into my account and the fee structure there appears to be in Euros! I'm going to leave it until I've more time to faff about with it. They never make things easy:(.I need to have a long hard look at whether it's going to be worth my while selling lower value books on there any more. It's expensive enough as it is but the benefits (in my opinion) have previously outweighed the drawbacks.


    I'm not even going to think about it today. This will be my first Olympics-free evening and I've got a date with my first book in weeks;)

    probably but he likes me to do it and I hate it. once he had to do it himself due to an emergency. now he has to go to hairdressers. he can afford the £5

    I wonder if you should look at other selling stuff on amazon as you are so good and established?

    I'm up to £18.25 paypal and £5AGC but I also got £3 AGC credit from Amazon themselves... which I spent on a book I wanted so saving myself £3
    so I'm counting that too. So £21.25 and that includes my first ever cash back which I'm counting even though I don't count interest.
