Remember, you're a wreck, you're an accident, forget the freak... you're just nature.

I have recently opened an Amazon seller’s account, for two reasons:

One. I don’t like eBay
Two. I have a lot of books to sell and similar shit to sell.

So far I have made £8.18 profit, which isn’t bad considering I’ve been open like 2 days. I’ve sold a book and a DVD for that. And postage was like 69p on each of them, so that’s good. I have decided to be one of those nice Amazon sellers, I have had little cards printed at work that have cassette tape backgrounds and a space for me to write ‘thank you for your purchase, don’t hesitate to contact me should you find a problem’. I always like getting thank you notes in my purchases. It’s proving to be quite good, although I am getting somewhat addicted to listing things and I am having a lowest price battle with an American seller who is trying to out sell me on my halliwell film guide, which is worth a lot of money! Bastard, we’re taking it in turns to lower our price by a penny each time! My account is already being abused by joe however, the book me and the yank are penny dropping over is worth about £60 and then i got a precarious message:

Hello, I was wondering if maybe you'd maybe accept £1.74 for this book, if we treat it as a cash sale? Go on, an entire £1.74. Maybe, if I really try, I can stretch to £2, but I'd prefer not to, it's not worth that much. Many thanks,
PaceyJ


To which i replied:

Dear Potential Buyer,
i apologise but i am not willing to accept that price for the product in question. I would need £2.10 or more to consider dropping my price so drastically,
kind regards,
Katie Bishop


To which Joe replied:

Dear seller,
I apologise, but £2.10 is outrageously outside my price range and frankly I think you are being simply extortionate! £2.10 for a film 'studies' book? I mean seriously?! Well, I hope you accept that you have lost a customer here today!

To which i replied:
Don't worry sunshine, i could get atleast £3 from some other red blooded male who see's me as a sexy film guide seller, just becasue you quite clearly fancy men doesn't mean my price was wrong.

To which he replied:
I hope you don't talk to all your customers like this!

Then we had a good laugh and left it at that, i have no idea why i felt the need to blog that, it just seemed funny to me at the time!

IT’S TOO HOT! I don’t cope well with summer, the last two days I have looked like a hippy, wearing baggy, ripped at the knee jeans and various vest tops, with pumps and a bandana holding my hair and fringe up, because it’s too fucking warm! I’m going to be fun in Greece aren’t i? I have hay fever, I get headaches, I get grouchy and sweaty and then I get prickly heat. And I can’t escape it. Last night I slept in my underwear with no duvet and the window wide open! It’s ridiculous. Yesterday I watched the entire season 2 of sex and the city whilst fanning myself with a piece of card, lying on my bed, drinking ice water in a baggy t shirt. It was cooler inside than outside, it’s not good. The second someone suggests a BBQ and a picnic I will run into hiding, I like being this pale, my skin does not like sun, and I do not like sun! Bring on winter.

Anyway, apart from that not much else is new. I have done all my essays for this year! Woo! Now only 2 exams to go and then it’s home free for the summer, well I hope, knowing my luck someone will accidently enrol me in a summer school on mars studying ceramics, that would not be good.

OK gonna go, what with being at work,

Hope all is well.
