Good advice Karey, sometimes if an item apears too cheap folk may think it's not worth having. Tupperware used to advertise their products as ' lifetime guarantee' but the sales dropped so they changed it to '10 year guarantee' and sales went back up again. Nowt so queer as folk. (I have tupperware that's older than Shadz (he's 23) lol)

I've tried so many different ways of listing, you wouldn't believe it Kaz!

It seems that people are selling these peel-offs @ around 50p a sheet (apart from the traders selling new i.e. 70p to a quid)... most of my listings had 4 for 99p, so generally I'm offering at around half the price everyone else is for "2nd hand". I have close up photos of each sheet, a nice clear layout, precise details of manufacturer etc. I've even put up a bloody returns policy so people will know they'll get a refund if they're not happy with what they've bought from me!

When I've been listing boots/shoes, I started off at £4.99 and didn't get a sniff... asked for advice on the ebay boards, got told I was starting too high and to drop to 99p which would generate interest. Interest my big fat bottom! All it achieved was me having to send off my beautiful boots to sodding Finland for 99p!

The only advantage is that they've changed the fees scale, so that if you list at SP of 1p-99p you don't get charged a listing fee, only a final value fee.

It's driving me crazy!

OK. Crazier...

Message to the Unipurse:

OK, you've had your fun. I'm sure you and the Cosmos have chortled merrily over your Flaming Asteroid cocktails, but enough is enough already!

Give a girl a break FFS! Not only am I not selling anything, nor finding paid work, nor having a great deal of success at paying creditors and general household bills, but NOW you decide to make my sodding washing machine conk out!

Come on! Be reasonable. I'm not an evil person. OK, so I point and laugh at people sometimes but who doesn't? I'm kind to animals. What more do you want from me? All I want is a rinse and spin cycle that doesn't leave my clothes sopping wet and covered in globules of detergent... is that so much to ask?!

*wanders off muttering*

Right washing machine... you and I are gonna have a little chat... fair warning: I have a tool box and I'm not afraid to open it... & find it empty cos "someone" didn't put the tools away properly *ahem*

*looks round*

Bugga... gonna have to blame the cat!

I left work today 4.30pm and decided to give the A1 dual carriageway a miss, and take the Darlington - Northallerton road instead. A luvly fast biking road. But it was really clogged up - traffic doing 50mph at best. Finally got passed them all, and took a butchers at the slowpoke at the front of the Q - some old dodderer bout 90, hunched up, peering over his steering wheel. If I reported him, wud they check his eyesight?

Cool I'm taking an ebaying break for a few days... there's a strange yellow orb hovering in the sky to be enjoying & my sis is taking me out for the day on Monday, with the promise of some never worn shoes to ebay in return for my company - maybe hers will sell better?! That and some more legwork for my sparkly empire... I'll crack it one day!

Fuggin mobile phone signal is almost non existant at this house I missed a call because of it and ended up not going on a ride out because the caller couldn't get thro to me. I may as well throw the phone away.

I started with T Mobile but the signal was almost zero, every message I tried to send gave me a 'message not sent' so I changed service provider and now I'm with O2. Only slightly better, when my sis is here she has to go upstairs to take a call. The signal is 100% when you're OUTSIDE I got a call yesterday, from a number that wasn't in my mobile, and I missed the call but the woman called back. I answered 'Hello' no answer, so I said 'hello' again but a bit louder. The caller said, in a snotty manner 'no need to shout, you called me' then she said 'a man callled me and left a message' I said 'there's no man in this house' and all of a sudden her attitude changed. lol I could feel the heat from her red face as she realised she'd misdialled. Silly woman!
