    Hi rags
    Goodluck with selling the bits on Ebay, no what you mean about clothes i was a 10 before children, I'm now a 12/14 and kinda come to the conclusion that i will never get back into a 10 no matter how hard i try.

    Shame about the slicer, love my breadmaker to bits, but DS will not eat anything but Warburtons bread and believe me i've tried to wean him off it but no thats all he will eat.

  • i have tries my slicer myself and am very happy as i got it to work!!!!!!!:D just have to make sure the top through first otherwise it just shreds at the end as its too soft!!!! think my fella was trying to push it through too hard and not turning the slicer quick enough!:rolleyes:

    have taken my overdraft off my sig as sick of changing it when the total goes up..........(quite demotivating) will add it once have got my budget under control.

    Glad you got the slicer to work, think i might have to get one soon as its the worst thing about hm bread, having to cut it up! Also think it would be good to cut then freeze!!

    Dont blame you about the overdraft!! good to take it off if it demotivates you! or maybe you could try just changing it on the day before payday? So its on the same time of the mth and you might see it go down a little?? or i just say its the limit all the time as it will more then likely be it at the end of mth....

    Well done on getting lots of things together you can ebay, i have soooo much i want to list aswell its just getting round to doing it!! hope fully once we see each other doing it and selling things it will give us the kick to get listing more and more :)

  • not got a lot to report today, checked quidco and my ebay transaction is now tracking. have done the two clicks but wont get my 10p till march??!!!! going to keep it up though as its free money to throw at my debts!!!!! have also joined topcashback so more money through free clicks!!

    done my free scratchcards, need to sort out getting my £10 back off take a break!!

    have entered some competitions but not holding my breath. still waiting for my sample of aveeno to arrive that i requested. not very lucky when i comes to winning stuff.

    think i am going to sell the baby clothes and my stuff in batches to get rid of it quicker and may make a little more on it. going to have free p+p as 1. cant be bothered to weigh it and 2. like you said pipsmum, may get more people bidding. anyone know if ebay are having any more reduced listing days????
