(just skimming through last couple pages of posts - can't resist)
Mudbath - I will join you in a challenge to stick one thing on EBay tomorrow. As well as the fees and postage its the taking the photot, uploading it, writing the description faff faff faff that puts me off. Oh and I can never decide what price I should ask for as I dont want to sell something for less than its worth (but lets face it anything is better than zero which is what I get if I dont sell them at all........)
BUT
I was trying to clear some space in the garage today. Our house is pretty tidy but thats cos the double garage is a black hole of junk.
I found a double buggy we no longer use so that is going to be the item I stick on tomorrow. I bought it on Ebay a few years ago so hopefully it will sell. And if it does then I will be inspired to sell moreJan GC: £202.65/£450 (as of 4-1-12)

Really sorry I thought I'd done tomorrows list before we went swimming, it mustn't have worked properly, ooops. Done now anyway.
DP went to work and has had hassle already, I can't wait til his boss gets the car with the barrier between. Idiot took the seat cover off the seat and put it over DPs head. Moron unfortunately did it in front of a police man so when DP dragged him out of the car, they arrested him for being D&D!
Right, anyway, I have listed a couple of things on Ebay, to be honest there isn't much left to sell, maybe I just don't buy enough :rotfl: Spent an hour sorting through DPs finances and doing a snowball on his credit cards, I think it's suprised him how quickly he can pay it off after him getting rather scared over the last few weeks when we added them all up. Giving him responsibility for what he spent on them and leaving it up to him to sort paying for them seems to have now taught him a lesson. Might stop him on his massive spending spree (no kidding, over £9000 in just over 1 year on the cards plus what he spent in cash, on his hobbies, things for his car, bikes, etc) as he's now starting to think twice before spending money, saying that he did only just get outbid tonight on more stuff on Ebay. I think it hurt him a little when I said 'That money has all been spent on you, if I'd spent so much it would have been on all of us, probably taking the kids on holiday etc'. He's still got the responsibility of paying them off, I am not going to help him, his mess, he can sort it (he doesn't help me when I get stuck for the bills so he can get stuffed)
HopeElizzy hope your parents are better soon, big hugsOne day I might be more organised...........

:rotfl: Just wanted to let you know that thanks to your advice, i did some listing on e-bay today - well i hope your ears were burning why you ask well...
About 2 years ago i had a e-bay account with paypal - could i remember the account details NO i couldn't SO joined again e-bay and PP wouldn't accept the details as they already had a member with the same details (ME) anyway after a lot of oing and ahhring spitting and cursing and a couple of hours had passed by i managed to sort it :j and now have 11 items listed
so i guess i will be updating you
ps already had one question asked so will keep my fingers crossed.no.. I don't like those.. way too skimpy.. I like chunky ones that'll hold my butt! I'm a stomper rather than a daintily float by.. they sure as heck wouldn't do with my black jeans a little tops.
I'd never get my trotters in them.
Tutors stuff listed too.. it was only 8 things so didn't take long.. 121 things on now! .. I hope only 2 things sell!!!!!! lol and I have 4 watchers already.. you do know I'm going to bore you all stupid with my ebay updates on a minutely basis for the next 10 days don't you???£2 Pig has £86 in his Tummy. I am seriuosly Become a O/S Saver0
