    Ok

    Ive registered on Ebay and got my account all set up last night, just need to wait for some advice from the Techie forum on something before i list my first item.

    Been asked to go out tonight for a leaving party but i have been strong will'ed and said no because i want to remain within my £20 budget for this week.

    Unfortunatley may have to dip into next weeks budget because my laundry bag has broken and i need a new one so will be going round the shops on saturday to see if i can find a cheap one. Plus i would need to put a fiver's worth of petrol in my car. But i may go into town by train to save money cause i have a travel card.

    so hopefully will be able to get some ansewers from the techie forum and then crack on to start making some monmey from Ebay :j

    right been really good today i put £5 worth of petrol in my car today to go into town centre with my mate went in HMV and Virgin and resisted the temptation to buy any of the DVD's that were on offer or the fact that i really wanted another X-Box game.

    Also phoned up and cancelled my X-box live account as well cos if i didnt cancel it today they would have charged me £40 for a years subscription.

    Not going out tonight so will have a cheap nite in and spend nothing tonight as well all in all Quite a Saturdays been a good day cos all ive spent is a fiver on petrol :T

    So my budget for the rest of the week is £15 so not doing to bad.

    hi james :wave: (oops wrong board, no more :wave: :wall: )

    Have you considered the Amex 4.9% LOB CC deal?

    lower minimum repayments for the "tight months", lower interest and best of all you can "overpay" any time ya like...........

    Dont bother wasting your time on people who dont like you
