    BB - I can totally empathise with your situation, but I have to say that you really do have to keep going, it DOES get easier.....I think the only reason I didn't retreat into my shell was the fact that I had kids and really had no option...GET THEE TO THE SHOOTING GALLERY!

    tsk........I saw a lovely ladies rugby-style shirt on ebay I fancied. It finishes tonight and I really like it - but the postage is £4.98 - Second Class!

    think I will be giving that a miss.

    no there are no bids, I've sent an email asking why it is so high. It's a bit expensive to start with to be honest - £3.99 starting, £7.99 BIN - and it's not even new! I did lots of selling at one point of clothing and felt guilty charging £2 First Class!

    Nah, I'll give it a miss........I'm hoping not to be that size in a month or so ;)

    A cool old harlequins one finished tonight as well - i've always wanted one in that particular design. I'd have had it for £10 maybe, but it finished at £21!!!!
