Defo - I've sold bunches of my uni books on there and still have a few to go - if they don't sell before I go they will end up in a charity shop or something which sucks as there are some pretty new ones there!!

I think i'll maybe leave them listed and then if they sell I will ask my Mum if she minds sending them for me... What about payments and stuff? Can they pay into your bank account or by paypal etc?

Mine gets paid directly into my bank account

That's even better then!

They do pay in to bank accounts, and I was surprised at how much they take as a selling fee, but when I thought about it, they wouldn't have sold elsewhere, so any money for those books was better than nothing

Yeah - it is a bit of a chunk but if you post them cheap you can make a bit back that way... annoys me when the postage doesn't cover the whole cost though

Have you considered www.craigslist.org ?

I've had some good luck with them in the past, and I know they do a load of international cities...

Will try looking at craiglist too Thanks

Last day of work!!!!! 7 hours to goooooo

Going out this evening for a bit of a shindig with my work colleagues and then off to Devon tomorrow

Tash and Jeraly, you know about gumtree right?

http://plymouth.gumtree.com/
http://bristol.gumtree.com/

it's really great for selling things in your local area that wouldn't be worth ebaying!

Ah ha! I also forgot about gumtree! Thanks

Oh cool - thanks Will bookmark for future perusal

Found that selling DVDs on Amazon is prolly not worth it - will get more at car boot sale

check it out, I just made my first VJ wiki page:
http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Affidavit

and then i edited another page, so there's a link to it:
http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/RFE

it's actually really easy. Instead of just posting the same stuff over and over, from now on I'm going to put useful info in there, and link to it in my posts. (when i have time ;-))

4 hours to goooooo!

Eww - in work again? On a Saturday!? BOOO!!!

oh that's what you meant by 4 hrs to go, I thought you were counting down till you go to Devon!!

Maybe she was... I could just be horribly wrong!!

No, it's my last ever shift today And I go to Devon tomorrow afternoon

Yay!! I win! I win!!

1 hour 45 minutes

I was supposed to have my hair cut today but my hairdresser went off sick today

So instead I made another VJ wiki page, this time for DCF London http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/DCF_London

Whew! You're on FIRE today!

I keep meaning to do that.... Never seem to get round to it... I swear I have ADD at times... I can be doing something and then something else will catch my eye and so on and so on. I never seem to get anything done! But always seem to look really busy!

g'morning everyone.

hehe, yeah, I suppose i'm in immigration withdrawal

and you do have to add??? wff?? but apart from that it's way easier than i thought it would be. and I know how hard it was for me to find all the info i needed at the start, just trying to make it a bit easier for the people behind me.

Done for the day yet?

35 MINUTES TO GO

Afternoon all

ADD = Attention Deficit Disorder

Ohhhhh, sorry, I read that too fast. Well i'm sure that looks good in work, you always look busy, but you've always got lots to do

When you put something on the wiki with an external URL it asks you to do some simple arithmitic to check you're not a spammer, I got all mixed up

Where's everybody gone????

StP, I know you are not working. Packing up does not exempt you from being online!!!

Afternoon all

At my Mums now... Have just cleared all my stuff out of the loft! (I'm sure the way I got up there defies some health and saftey laws somewhere... We didn't have a step ladder, so I had to balance a stool on top of the laundry basket! But it's all good. I survived.. lol)

So much cr*p up there Am now going to list all my books on amazon and all my clothes, GHD's and other random stuff on eBay. Hopefully I will get a few more dollars out of it all.

9 days to go too

Hope everyone is well

Hi all -- I've been off-line since Thursday night because of two inter-related events:

1) Friday I had a day trip to Washington DC for a meeting (yep, flew down in the morning and back in the early evening); and

2) I contracted a vicious case of food poisoning at the restaurant I ate at during the meeting.

I'm pretty sure it was the salad -- when I was eating it, I was thinking, "hmmm, this doesn't taste quite right" but I was desperate for some greens so I ate it. I thought I was being so good choosing it over the french fries. Now I wish I had had the fries! I am still recovering from the vomiting, fever and body pains.

And this was at the effing Ritz-Carlton!

was there meat on the salad or was it just vegetables?

Oh yuck Maven! That is no fun! Next time you should just go for the fries!

Happy packing and sorting to Tash! We're doing the same as we are hoping to move this summer!

In fact, we are very likely making a bid on a house later this week. Just nede to consult with a few builders to see if the extension we want to put on is doable. Wish us luck!

And finally, StP, you MUST pop in and see us as much as possible before you leave the UK! (heck, I do as much as I can from work, though its forbidden!) I will miss you while you are back in Aus!

Food Poisioning SUCKS! Sorry to hear you were ill Maven

You got any pic's of the new dream house Julez???

To woo StP back I did a wiki on one of her favourite websites

We should create a February filers page just for fun! I know there are still a few VJers out there in search of the elusive February filers!

I was actually about to do it... but then i had to do some...... work

Just poncey salad leaves.

Blecccch.

Could it be e coli?

Well look on the bright side... not only did you not consume the excess calories from the fries, but you *also* prolly lost a bunch of extra weight... now I need to find somewhere like that before I have to get into my dress in June again



LMAO!! That would be tooooo funny!!

Aly, maybe you said somewhere before, but do you mind me asking, why are you guys waiting till August for the legal ceremony?


And also I WANT MY VISA NOWWWW!!!! I have been a very patient good likkle girlie, and I didn't mind waiting all this time, but I realllllly hate it when people have my passport, and I want it back, and I want the visa in it, thank you very much.

If I know Aly its cos o' the 08/08/08 date!

Hope not. My mom is convinced it was some sort of norovirus, but I've had that before and this was not the same thing.

I just cheered myself up by having frozen yogurt.

Glad to hear that your able to eat again Maven, hope it doesn't put you off salad for life!! Food poisoning can be a very powerful memory that causes people not to want to eat that food ever again. It was good for evolution, but bad if it makes you not want to eat salads

Pretty much And also July is a busy month for Jeremy where he works so it just made sense to have a cool date as well as an ideal time... going to be wearing my dress again though. In Arizona. In August...

wow, you'll be married in all possible ways by the time i get there

gawwd damn this job keeping me here looking at that stoopid California ad on the TV and addicted to Craigslist LA wishing to be on my merry way, and did i say WHERE IS MY PASSPORT!!!



sorry - in my defense, it's monday at 7.10pm and I'm still at work, and I been here since 8.30am

That does suck... And yeah - I am getting my money's worth from my dress!!

Sorry to hear about the food poisoning Maven!

The house that you are putting a bid on Julez, is it the one that you posted the link of a few weeks ago?

looks like you knew wrong

I was at work from 1pm to 7pm today

well colour me corrected! Glad someone else had to work today



no wait,

well color me corrected.


I'm trying to get in to this American stuff, but I'm sorry, that spelling just looks wrong

It does doesn't it!

it's funny cos I say 'ye' for you plural sometimes - It's an Irish thing- so I can sometimes pick up on y'all from my Texan MIL, but those spellings, no no no.
