Ok so I couldn't believe this actually happened but she came today so I believe it now.
In the U.K we have a loyalty card scheme where when you shop in a certain supermarket, buy fuel from a certain company etc you collect points that you can then trade at various stores and companies for actual goods. In addition to the above my card happens to be tied to my gas/electricity account as well as eBay. I am quite sure you have similar schemes in the U.S and elsewhere.
Anyway as you can imagine between fuel, gas/electricity and eBay I can wrack up a fair amount of points. After collecting points for ages it only just occurred to me that not only can you collect points on eBay but you can spend them too so....
I am so thrilled!
The seller accepted a best offer so even in pretend money terms I got a really good deal on her. She is a quite grubby and she has what looks like pen marks on her nds but I think she will scrub up well after a good bath.
Sooooo happy
