Yes, I want to babysit for sure. Just call me Aunt Lecia.
I gave Molly her own last name-Honeychurch-just because I am weird and I like the character Lucy Honeychurch from Room with a View by EM Forster!

Auntie Honeychurch -
Ha ha! I used to do the same thing with e bay! I would order so much that a package came nearly everyday. I would wait until the last minute of the auction and outbid someone too. Once we went on vacation and prior to leaving I knew I had like 5 items coming in the mail. I had to have a friend come to the house everyday while we were gone to check for packages at the door.

When I first started, I knew nothing about sniping-I would just bid things up! I know the sellers loved me. I bought something from England and didn't convert to pounds and ended up paying much more than I thought!

I've made a couple of boo-boos on ebay. I bidded on 7 Lush forum fragrances which i thought were full size bottles and ended up paying nearly forty quid for 7 teeny-tiny samples! Hubby was NOT impressed! And a few weeks ago I bought a treadmill which was a bargain but it was pick-up only and i hadn't read that and they lived hundreds of miles away! :roll:

So what did you end up doing? Did you go pick it up?
What is the best deal you ever got on Ebay?
I got an American Eagle corduroy blazer and blue jeans for $9.99 that I love.

So how are you going the get the treadmill, Val? Is there anyway to pay to have someone else pick it up and deliver.. .do you guys have UPS over there or the equivalent?

no, she was very understanding, thank goodness!
The best bargain was Kris's xbox live which we got for Ј26 instead of Ј40.
I haven't done very well with selling, I sold lots of Kris's new sports stuff and ended up paying more on the postage than i got for the clothes AND the postage!

That stinks-I've lost money on a lot of things by starting the bidding at $.99 and only one person bid!
You should try listing your cards on www.etsy.com. I would certainly buy them. They are much prettier than anything you can find at the store.

haha! posted at the same time! She tried to get a courier but it was a major amount of money so she said to just leave it! Whats UPS?
Aww, thanks Lecia!

You mena she shipped it for you? Are you kidding? that is wonderful!
What kind of treadmill? Is it as nice one? Do you plan on using it a lot when you get better, or was it for another family member?
I wish I had a good treadmill! Better yet, a heated swimming pool would be awesome -- can't afford either right now, though!!!
