Got a darth vader suit listed that was £5 in the M&S sale - hope it sells for Halloween, a Twilight book (no.4) that was free replacement from Amazon and is brand new, a ruby and millie gift set which cost me about £2 in boots sale - 10 watched omg! and a Chanel gift box - empty and came with a gift from Boots - apparently they are collectors items and go for about a fiver- so list some if you have any!!

I bought dh's Christmas present yesterday and he's gone to collect it this morning. He asked for a radio controlled car and said the one he LOVES is about £300 :eek:! There was no chance of that, so he was looking at cheaper ones until I suggested looking on Ebay. Well, we managed to find the exact one he wanted (the normally £300 one) going for much less. It's second hand but is apparently still very new. Last night was very tense as we watched the bidding going up, but then I swooped in and won it for £112 :T. He danced around the room cheering! He's gone to pick it up so I'm hoping it is as good as the description said and then he'll be over the moon.


Even better, and to be honest I just can't believe this, I checked our lottery ticket this morning and we have matched 4 numbers! I've only ever had 3 numbers a handful of times so I nearly wet myself seeing 4 numbers:rotfl:
I went online to check what the payout for 4 numbers would be. I was thinking around £50 but trying not to get my hopes up as I know sometimes it can be as low as £30. I checked their site and it says........ £112! The exact same amount I spent on dh's present last night!! I have checked and rechecked as I just couldn't believe it, but it is true. :T

Ur a star, you reminded me that got to get the helicopter out of the loft and put it on ebay, my father won a radio controlled helicopter in a xmas prize draw - hes a bit old to use it - apparently it was from Debenhams - so have a look for a similiar one and get some money! xx

Fantastic Nicky - what a great win!

I'm just trying to get up to a £25 dooyoo payout - but then no doubt I'll want £30 and £35 and so on... :rolleyes:

Also, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this bit so I'm going to and the mods can delete if they want : I have a recording of a Skype interview (just under 90 minutes with a lot of interruptions) that I need to be transcribed and I have £20 budgeted for the transcription. If anyone's interested in the extra £20 please PM me

Well done ddraig!

Sugarspun - you only need £20 to cash out you know on dooyoo Your work sounds like my work!

I have just got another £10 play.com voucher making it £25 in total from the play.com credit card. Very happy with that as all of the big house purchases are going on the card and being paid off straight away Also earned another £10 in boots points the other day so £30 there now too and lots of bids and watchers on my eBay stuff, have now listed 11 items and photographed EVERYTHING

argh have got selling restrictions on my ebay account I am sooooooooo annoyed!!!! i have got to 20 items and they say "no more" - rang them up, got told I was being put on hold for 1 minute and 15 mins later i was still on hold. I put the phone down I'm incensed and emailed them demanding them to be lifted. I am SO mad! they said my ebay and paypal arent linked -but they are as ive bought and sold that way for years. ARGHHHHH!

So annoying abotu the surveys sarah

I ordered from this site and I can highly recommend it, placed the order Monday night, and the parcel was delievered today by DHL.

In all honestly, avoid the scarf, looks a bit tacky, (but then 95p), I got a good mix and match selection.

Kitchen scales - There really kitch, I got them for dd, do her a little cookery hamper, she loves cooking, there about 6in high, weigh upto 1lb, the colours do vary, (ordered 1 for joke for mates xmas), got blue + red.

Best bargain, got Bailey, leather collar (95p), similar to the ones we were looking at in Pets shop they were about £5.00

There great stocking fillers, xx
