I'm sorry so say, there isn't a blog today. Apart from this one telling you there isn't one. Make total sense. But I started writing a post up a day or so ago and it's taking a bit longer then I thought, so it'll be posted on Wednesday. It'll be about my favourite movies and why I like them. I may split it into two parts, I'm not sure. We'll see how long it is come Wednesday!
Sorry for no post, keep drinking that coffee~

I'm only a day late, it's still good, it's still good!
Sorry that I'm a day late with a blog, I was in the zone with school work. I'm currently doing a Cert. II in Women's Studies, externally, and I finished 2 of the modules yesterday, happily. I finished the modules of "Work effectively in Groups" and "Identify Gendered perspectives in Information Technology". I think I cleared out the groups take in a day and a bit, I finished Identify Gender Perspectives in 2 days I think, even though it's the shorter lesson. Any ways, you don't want to hear about my school work!
I have a problem right not, I don't particularly have anything to talk about. I want to do something like I did last Wednesday and on Sunday, something about a website that I use, or something that might be happening. However, there isn't a site I can rave about, or mention too much. I could talk about Tumblr, or Youtube, since I use them a lot; however, I think it'd be more of an overview of the site rather what I thought of them, even though my opinion would be in there. Maybe next week I'll do something on one of those two sites, maybe both! However this week, I'm not feeling it, partly because the internet currently isn't working.
(Until now, since now this blog is up)
I'm thinking of doing an about me post this Saturday / Sunday if you're interested. However I don't think I'll be able to write too much, I'm trying to do blog posts that are lengthy, or even mildly wordy, so I guess that means right now I'm just talking out my ass about anything that comes to mind. I'm currently listening to the Wreck-It-Ralph soundtrack, I may do a blog on movies that I like, I hope you'd enjoy that. I'd have a few Pixar movies in there, a few horror movies, maybe a couple dramas and comedies. I'm not the biggest fan of the last two, but I do love my action and animated movies. Also a fan of horror, some I guess something will come of that. I feel at that point, I'll possibly also do a blog about TV shows I watch, or have watched. I feel that may be interesting. What do you think? Do you want to hear about movies and TV shows I watch?
What am I saying, no one exactly reads my blog, I apparently get views but that doesn't mean anyone is reading. How do I know you're not a robot being nice and adding to my view count? Are you even paying attention? Possibly not. I guess I may see you this weekend for another slow blog.
See you soon, and keep drinking that coffee,
Nicole :D

My Experience with : Gumtree.com.au
If you arn't aware, there is a site call Gumtree.com.au. It's like eBay and craigslist, but unlike eBay you get 100% of the money you post the item for, no fees. Unlike craigslist, you can trust this site.
Gumtree is an organised site where you can buy and sell things, it's based in Australia where you sell items, and the majority of the time, you'll get cash in your hand from local pick-ups. I've had some good experience selling things on Gumtree, however, not everything sells. Also, when someone does contact you about an item that they want, they will work out a time with you to pick up the item, and you'll give them your address, but they don't show up. Nor will they email you saying something about how they can't show up, or anything. I've had people interested in items and contact me, I'd respond but I get nothing back.
I have had successful sales that go down quickly, and that's nice, but there are just times where people just annoy me with wanting an item but not showing up.
Experience 1: I had one guy, I was selling Finding Nemo on DVD, the collector's edition, and he was interested. I we worked out a time and I gave him my address, and telling my how to find my house. As I needed to at the time. However, he didn't show up that day. Or the next. Or the next. He didn't email me saying that he still wanted it, or that he was sorry that he didn't show, I didn't hear a word from him. Until about a week later when he knocked at the door, asking for me and wanting the DVD. I did give it to him and he game me money, however he was a week late. For all he knew, I could have sold it to someone else. But no, I didn't.
Experience 2: Maybe about a month or two ago, I was selling some pokemon cards. About 180 assorted pokemon cards for $50. Someone was interested, which is nice. He asked if he could have them and if I'd mail them to him, since he lives in NSW and I'm in SA. I normally say that I'm not a fan of mailing things, which I did tell him, but I also mentioned that I would mail them. A few email exchanges went down, then he decided he didn't want them, so ok. Then he decided a day later that he DID want them. I gave him my account details and I waited for the money to come in. 3 days pass and no money, a couple more days pass and I email him, telling him that the money hasn't come in yet. He tells me that he has sent it and that he has a receipt of him sending the money, and he was wondering when the cards will be there. I told him that once again, I needed some of that money to mail the item, and I can't send it until I get the money. I didn't hear from him again after that.
Experience 3: Maybe a week or more ago, I was selling some more pokemon cards, less this time, about 100 cards for around $20. Someone asked if they were still available and that they wanted it. As well as asking if I'd mail them. Hesitantly, I said yes. I gave them my account number, they gave me their address and I waited three or 4 days and no money, so I emailed them about it. They say something happened and it seems the money was sent back. They sent it again and it seemed to come through that night, which was great. The next day, I went to the post office and got what I needed, and I sent them off. So, good experience.

To go, or not to go? That is NOT the question!!
I had to make a new blog on this bloody site because everything I would log out of Blogger to log in to my account that I actually use, Google was all like, yep, nope! And then I was ll like, HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO I NEED TO LOG OUT AND LOG IN TO MY ACCOUNT TO MAKE IT WORK?!? And I still not able to get to it so.. >:/ Fucking Google, I swear, I do like you Google but for fuck sake!
I went on Google, as you do, to see how to raise $500 in a 2 month period. The one artical that I actually read, about half of to be honest was one called: 3 Ways to Earn and Extra $500 on the Side, by Courtney Johnston. It was interesting. One of the things that is suggested to think of 50 things that you're good at, things you know how to do. So I opened up notepad and numbered it 1 to 5. This is what I got:
1: Math
2: Cleaning
3: Basic computer skills
4:
5:
That's a long list.. I can't use that. I can't teach people anything, or clean houses for busy housewives looking after babies. Not worth it.
A bit after, I read a bit of an artical or two about ghostwritting and I'm not doing that so.. I'm fucked, we're fucked, everyone is fucked.
ANYWAYS!!
So, I MAY be going to NSW, Australia in the next two months for a few day period with my boyfriend for a wedding. The good news is, if we do go, I'll look nice. That $100 dress I bought for $20 will FINALLY come in handy. The bad news is that we're poor and we may not be able to make it. Out finances are fairly tight as it is right now, and what ever were get that isn't important, comes out of our food money, which normally ends up being about $40 to $100 a fortnight. (To feed 2 people. It's ALOT of pasta bolognese) I did a quick Google search, using WebJet.com.au for flights, and Trivago.com.au for hotels, I worked out it'll cost us anywhere between $400 to $600 for maybe 4 days in Melbourne, with no spending money, and I didn't even add for dinners either. So it'll may more of a $600 trip, that we don't have money for, that I do want money for, but I doubt we will have money for. I don't think we'll be able to raise $600 in a 2 month period. I am selling a few things, but even if they were to sell, it would be less then $100, so that doesn't make much of a dent in that.I went on Google, as you do, to see how to raise $500 in a 2 month period.
