  • LOL MM, indeed. My fault, I started it - sorry!

    I have nothing on ebay at the minute... but I have two pairs of shoes I need to list this weekend, and also my old mobile. After those I'll have nothing left (unless I win something) apart from the tat that I keep relisting.
  • I think I'm going to do Cyberslotz and Sportingbet through wepromiseto this weekend too... I already have £75 pending in there from gambling signups :beer: I just can't understand the matched betting thing, I think it's beyond me!

    I am a bit annoyed today with the base rate drop again, means my ISA will be 2.75% now :rolleyes: Not that bothered i have spent half now, owning my own home seems a more distant dream each day at the moment!

  • It's rubbish for savers, isn't it :( All my money is in my Egg saver, fixed at 6.3% until August. I just hope the interest rate goes up again near the end of the year when my fixed rate finishes!

    the crap interest rate is making people more willing to spend i think as if you save you get hardly any interest so may as well blow the lot. That is just want the goverment wanted!!
