    My ex had one, I might have even bought it for him in the early 90s. I was always envious of it,he managed to splash bleach or something (possibly paint even) on it after a few years and I guess it got thrown years ago. Gutted really, even with a bleach splash it was probably worth something!!!!

    Wonder if he still has it stuffed in the bedroom somewhere..........I could nick it when I go and get Charlie tomorrow and sell it (it would too small for me sadly!)!! :rotfl:

    had an email back from the seller. Apparently, it's £4.98 because it's £3 to post, 75p for the packaging (change supplier love!), 75p Paypal and 50p ebay fee..........

    :eek: The Paypal and Ebay fees should come out of their profit! Cheeky!

    If I were you I'd tell them you'll bid if the P&P is reduced to £3.75.

    Gemmzie, why is your supervisor not turning up.. That does not sound fair to me...

    Apparently she's still aboard or something :confused: And I can be supervised in September (can't see how but still sorted for now!)

    So many people stick it on the postage now. I bought some shoes recently, 99p item, £3.99 on postage.

    They are dead nice and they didn't even fit :( No point sending them back for 74p refund (25% restocking charge apparently!)

  • hi everyone,
    I don't post on here all that often but today marks the day that I get serious about this DFW lark - just listed 17 things on eBay. I didn't add my fees/PayPal onto my postage either!
    I'm also feeling at 6's and 7's bunny - what's up? I've just found out my best friend's fiance has been shot in Afghanistan. Luckily it was in the shoulder and he's OK and he's coming home in a few months. Still makes you think though ...
    hey ho. hope you don't mind me joining in? Going to try and be around more often and get properly into the MSE life. Next stage - tackle the ridiculous shopping bill I have each month!
    Evil debts: £500 Halifax One CC (16%), £500 Ulster Bank CC (19%), £500 Halifax OD (16%), £850 A&L OD (0%)
    DFD - Dec '08 or earlier if I can!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
