eBay My World: padster75( 575)

I am a Mum of a brilliant boy, missus to a brilliant man, and mistress to 4 cats.

Mainly ladies clothes, but anything really from around the house that doesn't get used anymore or has been out grown. I take time and effort to ensure my packaging is of the highest standard, and the items are sent out using RECORDED first class delivery, this costs money, and usually I loose money on my P&P charges although some of my customers probably haven't realised this, it's too easy to click a star without checking the packaging. I hate throwing things away, and since I lost my job I thought it may be worth a try to sell these things rather than simply bag them up and take them to the local charity shop or just give them away. So far its working and every little penny helps, as my son plays rugby to a very high standard and is always needing new bits of kit or having to be ferried around the north west. When he makes his England debut I might just name and shame him ;o)

I buy allsorts from ebay, from camping things (flags, telescopic poles & wind sock thingies are currently top of the list), clothes, books, pagan supplies & kitchen bits n bobs. We have even bought our car & my engagement ring on ebay, so really there are no limits!!

I have 3 main loves that I collect: Mushrooms/toadstools (ornaments not the foodstuff) Bears (from Rupert annuals, Steiff bears to Cherished Teddies, I have the lot) and finally dragonflies, I love anything thats different that has a dragonfly image on it. I am not one for run of the mill mass produced tack, I like bespoke/one offs/handmade goods that have stories to tell.

Watching my son play rugby (usually peeping through fingers), reading, painting & drawing, gardening, music/gigs, theatre, crafty things

Peter Pan is my all time favourite book!! I loved reading the Harry Potter series, the anticipation was immense between publishings. I read anything from Tolkein & Pratchett to Gerritson & Slaughter. I usually read a jolly good murder book or spy thriller.

Top Gun, The Goonies, My Fair Lady, Practical Magic, The Italian Job (1960's version), Rocky Horror Picture Show & The Breakfast Club. I think I am stuck in a time warp!!

Rock/Goth/Metal gets my toes a tapping. Mainly like the old school rock from the 80's but have a vast collection from the 90's and more recently too. I do like the odd bit of Cheesey Pop every now and then, usually when doing the housework, I find it gets done quicker that way!!

Fawlty Towers, Vicar of Dibley, ER, Red Dwarf, any satirical panel show, Jonathan Creek, Black Adder, Secret Millionaire

ll items are sent out RECORDED FIRST CLASS. They are packaged to a high standard, in tissue paper, bubble wrap and brown paper. I don't have to, but I like to make an effort, it shows I care. However before you click a random star thinking it doesn't matter, check you P&P charges, look at the packaging and ask yourself if for the sake of 20p is it worth it? I have lost so much money by However before you click a random star thinking it doesn't matter, check you P&P charges, look at the packaging and ask yourself if for the sake of 20p is it worth it? I have lost so much money by underchargin yet been criticised by people for it by them only giving 3 or 4 stars
