right guys im out of the game for a bit, :eek: i topped out my overdraft, and im moving back to uni in a month, and doing want to start that broke every penny,

so i need to find a grand in my house in the next few days, the only place i have that amount of money is kit, so iv put it up for sale, im keeping my accsessorys and things, like pads and shirts and trousers and tool kit and things, just getting rid of my gats and air and hoppers and masks,

for 2 reasons, make my money back, or as much as i can, and to give me the right to save up for some nice kit :p

so a bit of a plug for my sale>>>> :p

Basicaly, what are your thoughts on the price of pb? is it justified? and what have you spent so far?

iv been in the sport over a year and spent about 2 grand and lots of paint, out of my money for food and uni supplies, iv borrowed, and loaned and sold allsorts to play, :( any readers going to uni just know this, i am passionate baller, totally obsesed, and it has affected my achademic life, and i should not have let it, and i want you to know my story, basically it sucks dont do it, :p

i have CFME, its an illness that sucks, it freazes up your muscles, and joints, makes you tired, depressed, and give you one fook off big head ache, and about 30 other fun things, inc I.B.S thats irritable bowel syndrome to you loveley people i got into p'ball cos i couldnt play rugby any more and was pileing on the weight, and i love it its the greatest rehabillitation there is, and i wouldnt give it up for the world, but its costs, money, time, my schooling, and more money, enjoy p'ball, but remeber its still a game, hehe, but as iv allways said, Keep balling, it means theres more people to shoot. :p:p

:(:( im taking a brake and starting form the beggining again to prove to my self that i can, and i need the money and not to fail uni again this year cos of it. (yes i balled when i should have been working):p

if you won't be playing for a while, you could ref every now and then, to stay in the loop (and see your mates) and earn some money too.

I couldn't pay to play (regularly enough to make any improvement) any more, so I ref (only for another 2 years I hope), granted since I haven't played in over a year I'm even worse than I was before :), but I'd be pretty miffed if I didn't see anyone, and wasn't involved at all, I still love the game!

How much are they?

Currently at £6000 (stupid lloyds fools!;))
I've got an overdraft but I'm very aware that I'll have to pay that back at some point, I won't have any money as it is when I'm finished, so god knows how I'm going to pay off the standard (only 1!) £1500 one I've got, let alone £6000 :eek:

They're not maxed out right now as I've made a bit of money this year on my placement. But PS3, HDTV, holidays, training everywhere has taken a fair whack of my money :eek:

I have 2 student accounts with £1250 overdrafts available, and a normal account with £1000.

Just incase you know, never mind the student loans :eek:
