These photos were taken the night before we went to this market;
At the market, we lost that Gizmo. Our first EVER favourite toy tragedy, which, you’re about to see, I couldn’t deal with.
This photo was taken five minutes ago;
Not one, but TWO Gizmos! I love you eBay.
(PS; The only new thing I have bought since the 26th of December is a bike lock for Punk’s bike, I didn’t think a second-hand bike lock would be a wise choice. I am terribly proud of passing up the new helmet & fairy accessory pack that was on clearance next to the bike locks – if it weren’t for this challenge, I wouldn’t have thought twice. The thrift gods have granted my requests for laundry hampers, a soup pot & a new broom; I’m CRUISING!)
Score! Love Ebay for all its wonderfullness. Things you can often not get anywhere else, without having to leave the house, quarter of the price, kind to environment... list goes on - what's not to love. It also gives me faith in community and people in general for the years I've been using it I've not had problems with transactions.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!! If you lose these two..I have a Guinea Pig here called Gizmo, just say the word- he's yours!! ;)
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no, no, no!
DeleteWell done! I totally had faith you could do it!
ReplyDeleteYour little boy made me smile he is very cute....that smile could have gotten him a hundred gizmos just as well you stopped yourself at two.
ReplyDeleteThis wannabe techno gran has not graduated to ebay yet...but there is always hope.
If you are around the blogs Shirley you are more techno-savvy than so many who use eBay... go on... dip a toe in... ;)

I'm off to check ebay for DW (Arthurs pesky sister) Fifteen years ago my daughter lost hers (much loved) on a road trip. She was devasted and kept thinking about DW all alone in the bush for years. Heartbreaking. It is her 19th birthday soon and I would love to give her a "new" one. I have never shopped on ebay and would never have thought of hunting for DW there if I hadn't read your post. Thanks Vic. I'll let you know if I'm lucky.
ReplyDeleteOMG I had no idea you could get Gizmo softies!!!
ReplyDeletelove a happy ending and happy faces! wow....i haven't seen a gizmo in a long time. happy days!! xo.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great with the buy nothing new. I am hopeless. You are awesome.
ReplyDeletewell done you! I've also made it so far without buying anything new. Not feeling richer, but defo feeling more virtous!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! My son likes crochet granny squares so we have a ton of them, but of course he got very upset when the pink sparkly one he had nicked from sister's dollhouse was lost!
ReplyDeleteThankfully Ebay usually comes through when you need it. Such a gorgeous smile!
ReplyDeleteWell I was right to have such faith in you wasn't I !
ReplyDeletePhew thank goodness for ebay:) Aww I remember Gizmo he was sooo cute, I loved watching Gremlins. xx
ReplyDeleteAwww eBay rocks sometimes!!! My two littler sons are big Wall-E fans and I couldn't find a single Wall-E related toy in the shops, went to eBay and now they're both happy campers with their Wall-E and Eve cuddly toys at bedtime :-)
