    Glad you have a bid and a few watchers, I hate when I have lots of watchers and then they don't bid.

    Off to watch Eastenders now

    Hi. How's it going? Anymore job interviews through yet? Did you hear about the other one you went for last week?

    How are the Ebay auctions coming along? I have 210 items listed and a few things finishing tonight with bids on, hopefully the price will go up a bit more before they finish.

    Hope things at work are OK. When is your last day?

    If you are happy to stay on a few weeks longer then there is no harm in asking. Hopefully you will find the perfect job soon.
