Ebay, Hulu, Clothing purge

March 31st, 2014 at 01:19 am

I had 4 items end today on eBay - only 1 item sold (Person of Interest season 2 - $16.88 - almost $4 more than I paid for it. Big Grin) So I got to watch my show, and make a little money from it too. Sweet. Smile

I was bored last night and decided to try using my Bing reward code for Hulu + for a month of service. I couldn't find anyplace to put the code, and clicked on a link that said restart (or something like that), not realizing it'd automatically charge my payment card. I sent customer service an email asking how to redeem my gift code. It probably won't work for this month, but hopefully it will for next month!

I was looking in my queue and saw that Journeyman was about to expire on Monday. I loved that show and was so sad when it was canceled - so I did a Journeyman gorgefest last night and today (13 episodes.)

I went through my closet and drawers today and filled up two large trash bags with clothing. Most will be usable as clothing for others, some items might be thrown in the rag piles. I probably still could let go of some more, but I felt like progress had been made.

This started when I took my corduroy pants out of the wash and hung them to dry and noticed that the seat had a big hole. Frown These pants have gotten a lot of wear - especially the past two years. It was one of two pairs I bought off the clearance rack from Lane Bryant six? years ago. Both pairs are now defunct. I really hope I can find something similar to them - really, really liked them.

--I have two pairs of black pants that are usable left - although one only works with a belt. So, I think that a pants shopping excursion will be necessary before getting too far with any office job ...

For lunches this week, I'm planning on eating through one of my cans of Big Franks (vege hot dogs), two cans of sweet peas, and a can of mandarin oranges. Smile Weird combo I know, but it works. Supper is gonna be a lot of soup... I have like 12 cans of soup, as well as 2 boxes of soup, and 4 cans of veggie broth ...

ETA - Just after publishing this, I got a response from Hulu+ CS -- They told me to email them the gift code and they'd take care of it, and also the website address to apply future gift codes! Cool!

    Congrats on your clothing purge and ebay sale! You are on your way to being ready to move. Smile

    Good start to baby stepping your way to moving. We're still stuck in a winter that won't leave. We've been wearing clothes that are looking 'tired' one last time and throwing it out! Saves me time effort and thought when I start switching out from winter to light weight spring/summer stuff. If a garment doesn't fit, flatter and make me feel happy to wear...out it goes. Life's too short to cope with stuff that makes us miserable. If I've made a mistake and can't take the item back, I give it away and forgive myself for the blunder.

    BTW, cans of soup are often used as the sauce for casseroles made with rice, pasta or potato. Since you need small servings, just use half a can and dump the rest in a small sz zip bag. These freeze well and if dumped frozen into a coffee mug to defrost are simple to manage. I've often baked 'individual' servings casseroles and meatloaf using cupcake papers in a muffin tin instead of a typical baking pan.

    Do you sew? I had a friend who had a pair of pants she loved. When they starting falling apart she took them apart, used them as a pattern and made several new pairs.

    I also loved those lane Bryant cords. I found something very similar at Eddie Bauer for about $15. Love them! Mad they are constantly going on sale. Checkout their clearance, that is how I got them the past few years.

    Not mad they are constantly on sale, and they are... Typo!

    I can sew a button on and follow a very simple pattern and make a pillowcase, but beyond that .... Making my own clothes is something I'd love to learn.

    Kiki - thanks! Will have to check that out. $15 is pretty reasonable. Smile
