That is why I stay away from ebay. Bad stuff can happen there.. or rather here with my bank account. LOL!!! But thats great you found your dream shoes. I went shopping on Friday and I spent only a little over 200 dollars. It was tax free weekend in Texas, and I also got 10% off my purchases because I got approved for a charge card at the department store. But I saved 109 dollars.

They whole plan is to tell him how much you saved. That always works with Brad. Who care that I spent 200 it could have been 300. He always is impressed when I save over a hundred. LOL!!

LOL, Twink thats sooo funny. BUT you are normal my dear.  What women can resist a good deal?? It seems you did not spend very much. My boss is hooked on ebay. Its like xmas everyweek for him. Keeps him happy. Actually he is an all over shopaholic. LOL

If I am looking for something alls I have to do is ask him. He makes daily trips to the swapmeets too.

Hey twink, My aunt in London called me yesterday. I was surprised. She was telling me about her hubbys sister that he never knew he had. What a shock that must have been to him.

Plus all the family catching up. Huge partys she throws.

Puttin~ Thats must have been a huge shock to find out he had a sister how old is she?  how did he not know ws there some break up down the line and she kinda got lost?

My bio-logical 'father' has seen me once since he left nearly 14 years ago..by chance he was working by my house (when i was 22) cutting down a tree (hes a tree-surgeon) and i couldnt believe it when i saw the old family name on his work van..i hardly recognized him..but he didnt recognise me atall..i guess he was still thinking he would see alittle 9 yr old girl in front of him not a young woman He last saw me when i was 9 and never made any attempt to contact me ..but thats fine by me lol ~ he was a abusive man to us all. I stopped long enough to say "Hi im your daughter Nicola..remeber me ?" and to see his jaw hit the floor and start mumbling.. we didnt swap numbers or make any further arrangements but i know he did say he has got 4 sons..i often wonder if they know about me..they must be in their late teens now. I last saw him drive past when i was at a roundabout.

My uncle is 61 and back when is mom was a teen she got pregnant not once but twice. Both were put up for adoption because his grandma made his mom do it.  Once had since past away. the one that had past had a husband that played in some band and they unknowingly saw him perform at a club my aunt and uncle go to. They got to meet her not long ago. She lives like 6 hours away.

 Men can be so weird, I think sometimes they think they can't do much or know what to do for a child so they do nothing. My ex is guilty to a degree of doing this. He see's the boys every other weekend, but I could have used some help with their schooling and things like that.  He just has them over and does the fun things.

Must have been a shock to see your pops. I know if I saw mine now, he'd look very old as I have not seen a picture of him for a few years now. When you get older and you miss a few years, you can really tell. I'm sure I look different too though.

 Do you know anyone in London by the last name of Goble? Did I ask you that already? I'll have to get my cousins hubbys last name too. She got married, its been awhile since I heard from them.

i used to do the same thing, only my problem was my bearly people bears. quinn would blow a gasket. i got into a online bidding war with one lady over a bear i just had to have. and ended up paying 125.00 for it. i had to smooch up for a long time over that one.   

LOL, see it was not bad at all. My hubby would have a cow if I started collecting dolls or bears.

I love ebay but I always either don't have money or my bank card is being changed out so I don't have one at the time I want to bid. LOL

There was an article on ebay in the paper not too long ago and they were saying that the best time is Monday mornings at about 3am to grab the bargains that people have listed and due to some error in listing them..they finish early in the morning when a majority of people are sleeping I have yet to try it though.
