    It does work and it has Office on it (not sure which version, possibly XP?), but doesn't even have enough hard drive space or whatever it is you need to support the internet. I'll look into it further... Still got the box and everything on the plus side!

    If it works I bet you could get £50 for it if you shoved it on ebay with a £20 start or something. Working laptop for £20, bargain!

    All these people with their romantic weekends away, lucky beggars! I'm back to Limerick next weekend, but I'm not sure that counts!

    If cuddles are included then yes it is!

    I'll encourage OH to put his laptop on ebay after his birthday unless anyone in his family wants it. More money to throw at his CC.

    I should get back to work, lots of people faxing in wanting some monies. Still annoying how they take it all out on me, i just pass messages!

    Stick it on ebay, a lot of people buy them for spares or refurbs Tete.

    I'm terrible for that on eBay! Thankfully at work all the 'things you might like' items are plumbing fittings so I'm not tempted.

    Just been looking at blythe dolls I used to collect on eBay, cannot imagine spending £120 to get a doll imported now, or £500 - £2000 (not that I ever did) on a vintage one.

    Lol know the feeling - I reserached Monsoon dresses for prices the other day, ended up watching 4. I'm still tempted by one of them. Might point mum in the direction and mention its my birthday in 3 weeks!

    Just been up to the 'stock' room, it's horrible in there no-one ever goes in so it's freezing and the air is stale so you can't breathe properly. bleh. Anyways, taken some photos of the body warmers again and some of the bits I bought in. Also found a lovely Next mens jacket, still with tags on so I'm guessing new. RRP £160 on the tag :eek: Would put it on ebay today but there's some Roxie drool on it, so I'll bring some wipes in tomorrow and put it on then.

    Haha, I get that on Amazon - one book I bought on Tony Benn for dad's birthday once, and that's all the recommendations I ever get - political biographies!

    Right, tonights to do list:
    Surveys
    Onepoll
    Mi-info
    Call A & L
    50 Dooyoo tracks
    Wrap books and 5 ebay items
    Pay £3.75 to NEXT and cancel account so they stop sending catelogues I have to pay for
    Research laptop and make decision as sale ends today

    That'll do I think. Going to do lots of Ebay at the weekend.

    What do you mean by 50 Dooyoo tracks? Surely you're not planning on writing 50 Dooyoo reviews tonight?

    Lol this is what happens when you're stuffed with cold and muddling up your anti-snuffles meds! I meant STP, 50 STP tracks, Dooyoo isn't getting anything out of me until I can think clearly enough to write something more productive than 'It's quite nice and smells nice and looks nice and overall its nice'! How to get myself banned me thinks. Can cope with STP, write about 30 words at a time, its minimally thought provoking as a rule. So far today it's taken me over 3 hours to write under 400 words for work, I thought I was doing well until I realised I'd written exactly the same thing 3 times....
