    Hi,
    Sounds like you're doing really well. I know what you mean about ebay. Currently my house is divided in two; things that are listed on ebay and things still to be added!
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)

    even busier today, if its not nailed down im ebaying it. found some good like minded ebay ladies on the ebay thread so that keeps me company!
    oh went to casino last night.. yes yees i hear you cry... are you mad!
    well he came home with £1000 which meant he had turned £200 into £800 profit. I have the money now to add to my stash and to do some good with it.
    have a great week!

    Hi,
    Just wanted to say thanks - you inspired me to get yet more stuff listed on ebay today - now practically all the belongings in my house are now in the living room awaiting their fate!

    Above the main board (or sub board) - top left is a "New Thread" clicky - hit that and Bob's Your Uncle, or should I say "Martin's Your Financial Saviour"?
