    Ouch, that's a lot on car tax. I'm going to play my free £5 now. I doubt I'll win anything but I've made an etsy sale today which has got me a bit of pocket money.

    We are struggling to sell cars at work too, we look after fleets of company cars and 1 of our clients own all there cars and we sell them via an auction when they don't want them anymore but we have had some stayed unsold for a couple of months now, the value of cars is dropping loads!

    My OH's stepdad couldn't sell his car, been trying for months so has now sold to Nick for £500, tbh he was overpricing it though, £1700 for a N Reg Toyota Rav.

    It might not even be worth £500 :o

    Now we need to sell our K Reg Polo! Nick paid £80 for it last year so hoping to get about same with no tax or £100 if we sell it with tax still on it as thats worth £30.

    MM your fella want it? lol

    Thanks for all the comments on Spencer, he is a puddy cat though, still limping bout bless him :(

    Thanks lil miss, I've lost £2 on cinco which I seem to enjoy more than bingo (don't know why, it's exactly the same principle). I'll keep trying, though I never seem to win on bingo... literally, of all the free bingo I've done I've never won anything!
