I Love eBay!

Last week I put a whole load of stuff on eBay, mainly clothes and today the auctions ended with a grand total of £62.11 - I was so surprised and excited. My thinking was, that if I sell old clothes then I can spend the money I make on buying knew clothes without feeling that guilt and having a little voice inside my head saying: "You can't afford that, what about rent, bills, phone contract, insurance!" The last couple of months any money I make hasn't really been mine. As soon as it reaches my bank account if I blink I'll miss it. Hard times. Que a massive eBay sale!

You see times are hard at the moment so even if I'd made twenty quid I'd have been pretty chuffed but clearly it's all gone to my head because in my excitement I have somehow created another pile of items ready to be listed on eBay. I think I am addicted, if I'm not careful I am pretty sure I'll have very little left in my room. As soon as the buyers money landed in my PayPal account I packed everything up, addressed them and they are all in a pile in the corner of my room waiting to be posted. The money has been withdrawn and is making it's way to my bank account as we speak. Hopefully it will be there in time for my birthday, which is in 5 days. Excited would be an understatement.
