    Sounds like you are awfully busy tomorrow.
    Yup :eek:
    Great result though on ebay
    Yup, and another 4 paid so postage duly printed :)
    i am sure you will have a lovely time at the concert.
    Hmmm, am not so sure :o, tbh would sooner see a good play or musical but I'm sure I will force myself to enjoy :rotfl:. Friend caught me in a 'I need to get a life' moment - very good timing on her part as they are very few & far between ;).

    Off to pack a bag but no doubt I won't sleep as I never do when I have to get up really, really early (as opposed to just really early!)

    Crikey Taxi, don't you have enough on your plate without resorting to that :rotfl:. I am very, very lucky that I have been able to do what I have :o.

    Em, thanks, I think :rotfl:.

    Ok, quick update:

    Mr Buble was very, very good. We had a nice meal beforehand with BOGOF naturally so only £20, I paid as friend was driving and had paid for car park. A great night :).

    All ebay peeps paid up and good feedback (though one person said the photo flattered the top :(). Some paid to BTL, more on its' way from paypal :)

    3 relsited items ending tomorrow, no bids so far :(

    Another overpayment made to BTL mortgage - exactly 1 year knocked off term :)

    OH still looking for a car. I need to find one reasonably priced, persuade the owner to stick £1500 on the price then let OH negotiate £1500 off so he thinks he's got a bargain :rotfl:

    Balance of Gambia holiday needs paying so £541 out of offset :(

    Friends paid us for staying in apartment last week so £100 into offset :)

    Sold old phone for £35, need to post today then more money for BTL overpayment :)

    5 days till DD gets house :)

    So bang goes next weekend :(

    Need to get some boots soled & heeled :(

    Library book I ordered is in :)

    Not looking forward to weigh in Monday night, have had a bad few weeks :(

    Hoping to get some gardening done today later on but probably car hunting also :)

    The :)'s have it, have a good day all :D

    I had that with a swimming costume i sold. It was more worn than expected. What do they expect, because if it is brand new then go to a shop and see what 99p gets you.

    Glad to hear the buble was good. :D

    Well car shopping was fun but none bought :(. One has been short listed and if OH goes for that there will be mucho Nectar points :rotfl:, luckily OH found it amusing when I asked sales rep about it :D.

    Sort of hoping he goes for a cheaper one - I want the 2k back to offset - with rent money just in that would take mortgage no. 1 to less than 20k :T. If he doesn't pay it back it will be 1st Dec, so still not too bad :)

    DD gets house on Thurs so have loaded up all stuff in garage for her & will be over there next weekend helping out. V exciting :)

    There is a kamikaze fly in here & it is going to die!!!!!

    Only one of relisted items sold, and, ahem, I may have bought couple of pairs of trousers while on there :whistle:

    Library book collected & am well into it already. Off to read it in the bath smiley-chores026.gif

    Fly update - it can obviously read cos it b*ggered off while I went to fetch the zapper :rotfl:
