The Internet connection was slow and painfully tedious, so I would type into the search engine what I was looking for, select 'time ending soonest' and bid on whatever had the least time left at the lowest price. The photo showing whatever I had purchased would not have time to load so I would not know what I had bought until it arrived in the post in a few days time.
I accumulated a whole host of trash through this ridiculous pastime. A particular favourite being a lurid orange skirt, that wouldn't have looked out of place on 'Last of the Summer Wine'.
I found a use for it eventually...
Anyway, I had managed to wean myself off of my Ebay Roulette addiction. That was, until last night.
Whilst celebrating a best friend's new job, I had remembered a small end table that I had been watching on Ebay. Filled with beer and a sudden urge that the damn table WOULD BE MINE, I happily placed a few bids.
Then, this morning reality hit me. I had bought yet another item of furniture for this virtual home of mine. I was spending more money that could potentially be put into a bigger deposit.
At least it's pretty. I am glad that I haven't come home with the orange skirt equivalent of an end table.
In other news...BIG, BIG HUGE THANK YOU to the wonderfully talented Duanne Watson who created me a banner for my blog. He really is one of the most gifted people that I know and also one of the nicest. Love ya loads xxx
And where pray, is this table going to live until the virtual house becomes a reality...........?
ReplyDeleteLove you loads my impulsive daughter...... now, I wonder who you inherited that trait from? Lol! xxx
Just thank your lucky stars that I didn't just win a dining room table with 6 chairs and a console table. It was such a bargain and I was only £1 off of winning it. I was actually dreading coming downstairs to tell dad! x
