Good luck with the ebay Dinah! Sound slike you were kept busy yesterday.

My OH started his police training today, he just text me to say he has to make an oath this afternoon. Hope he is getting on ok!

Well, that would serve 'em right!

Lol nah fair play to them I say, ebay really bug me the amount of buyers who say things don't arrive now, must be 1 in 10, and ebay just gives them the money back even when the seller has proof of postage, I just don't know how they have the stones!

I thought that but then I'd rather keep the bag than sell it for less than I wanted for it. Never mind though, done now.

Wow Wendz, an oath on his first day!! I'm sure he's loving it too!

Current account now £97 better off after mum repaid me for some food shopping I did last month. Thought we were going to have to take it out of Julys rent so glad to get it back sooner.

When we set up the regular savers at the weekend the woman asked if we wanted the first payment on the 5th July or August and NIM said July (he seems to think this means we'll get more in!) but it does mean we have £1000 coming out in the space of 10 days so kind of seriously hoping his prize bonds money comes through by then otherwise we'll have to borrow it from the overdraft and earn it back through ebay etc throughout the month.

NIM got a bit keen then, hope you don't have to take out the overdraft.

Has everyone checked their purse for one of these 20p's . I have a tub full at home so will check through when I get home. Would be an easy 50 quid!

What 20p's - am I missing something Wendz?

ETA - Oh I see. I had 6 in my purse and they were all older than me! I'm sure I've had one without a date on though, it was all shiny so I looked to see if it was from this year and couldn't find a date, thought it was unusual but spent it all the same.

We keep getting excited about ones at work as there is no date on back but needs to be no date on front of new ones.

NIM is all excitied to go through the penguin looking for 20ps when he gets home. I kind of question if it would be worth more than £50 in the future.
