After browsing through the stores for some new make-up brushes and lipstick... I have decided to send to hell the high OUTRAGEOUS prices of supermarkets and stores in order to buy from eBay. I am no stranger to eBay, as I used to get my Mum to buy things for me, as well as Mike in recent years... but I never could be bothered to do it myself. I came close a few years ago when I actually set-up an eBay AND PayPal account, but for some reason I never went on to buy anything or making use for either of them.
But, after finding a cheap make-up brush set:

for a few dollars, I decided that it must be done. I must use PayPal. So, I have transferred $10 to my account which is going to be processed in a few days, and then soon I will use those funds to buy things for cheap.
Do you know how much a big brush like that costs in Coles? $13! $
13!
Ah... sigh... internet buying. It just seems so... simple. A slippery slope? Probably... but at least I'll get a lot of cool things for not much money.
In other financial related news, we recieved our latest electricty bill.

$420.05Over $400 saving, just by turning off lights and Frode switching off a server. That's incredible. It almost seems as something is wrong... like this is *too* good of a cut. But, I am not complaining, I can actually afford my share of the power bill this time! ^___^
P.S. Need a job so I can pay rent and buy more cool stuff from the internet.
