E-Bay Fever

One of the things that we were most excited about when we arrived in London was to get into the thick of UK ebay action. The Singapore scene was sedate. YL beat me to it by setting up a UK account and bidding for a new stethoscope to replace the one that he had lost in Singapore ages ago. He finally has to be a real doctor. No lah, actually, he can no longer borrow one from the nurses who sayang-ed him so much in Singapore.

I've bagged a number of bargains recently; mostly items for Sophie. New mothers hardly shop for themselves. For instance, I bought a pretty pale pink Benetton jacket for 50p and a cute Next shift dress for 20p (both excluding shipping), both in used but very good conditions. I'm so proud of myself :)


So yes, that is what I have been busy with, if you must know, trawling the listings hour after hour looking for good deals. Everyone loves a bargain - that is why e-bay is so addictive. Here, and other places where the e-bay community is formidable, you get that adrenaline kick during the last few seconds of the auction, trying to out-bid each other while pulling your hair out deciding whether an extra pound will win the prize.
