    Two skirts last week DD wanted - 99p each they went for. Loads of stuff in the past.

    But why is it, when I actually bid for stuff it goes for silly money, but the stuff I forget to bid on goes for next to nothing!!???


    And a Retro watch OH wanted at a car boot. I decided to come back and it wasn't there.

    A huge box full of Family Tree magazines. They retail for over £3.00 each and the seller only wanted 10p each but I couldn't be bothered to carry them back to the car. Lazy :(
