An update on my money making exploits and my week-end

Just logged in to check my Ebay account and this morning I've sold four items for a grand total of ... duh duh duh..... £20.09. I've got 6 more items listed, two of which have bids on for £5.48. I'm loving Ebay. Now I just need to find more unwanted goodies to sell.

Yesterday I ventured into China Town to meet Mr. B for dim sum. I got lost on the way there. Again. (A whole year of living in London and I still can't find my way around!). And Mr B had to come and find me. I almost didn't recognise him at first as he's had his hair cut short since the last time I saw him.

After lunch, we jumped on a bus and headed over to Camden for "inspiration". I found inspiration in the form of a light fitting which seemed to be made out of dried prawn crackers. Sounds awful I know, but it actually looks quite good. Wish I'd taken my camera with me to take a photo. So now I have the urge to go to the Chinese supermarket and buy a box of dried prawn crackers and create my own unique light fitting. Will have a root around Gas Man's tool box later for more inspiration. Hmm.... I wonder if my dried prawn cracker light fittings would sell well on Ebay?

I walked home last night. We got the bus back into town and got off at Tottenham Court Road. The queues at the bus stops were huge and there were no signs of any buses coming anytime soon so I thought sod this and walked all the way back to Islington. I did it in about 35 minutes, hiccuping all the way! Walking off the dim sum I ate for lunch felt sooooo good, and it made me realise how much I miss walking. I should try and walk more.

I have nothing else to report.
