    I bloomin hate cleaning bikes though - they mock me every time I go out there! and if they don't sell first time they are being freecycled! I need to make some extra money for May Bob, got house insurance, road tax and DS's bd with not enough to cover all in the bank - arggghhh! I can adjust my figs and I'll still be DF at the end of June but I'd really like some breathing space...

    I love the idea of mr bob's stuff vanishing with him oblivious to it all! I'm selling some of DS's stuff but I will give him the money in July. I'm off out later so must clean at least one of those bluddy bikes first! and sort out my hair as it's hanging around my head in a mad medusa type style - yikes!
    will do a bit more ebaying later if I get time but the ironing is calling me.

    Happy Easter all.:icotbaske
