    Hi Lilac :)

    Good luck with the house viewing tomorrow. Don't panic about hovering and mopping too much, as long as house is fairly tidy most people arn't going to critise the floors. Most people pay attention to the little things on the second viewing and you can also mention breezily ...oh, we're getting the carpets shampooed this weekend...:D

    I like regular savers :) I use them primarily for Xmas and yearly spends, have never managed to put the full £250p/m in though.

    Tell your DH that SmlSave says to stop being a plonker!

    my OH seems to revert to kevin the teenager mode easilly. I phoned him at work to say we had a viewing tomorrow so boxes of toys we ordered for christmas that I have wrapped tagged and popped back into the outerbox will need to be lifted into the loft and all i got was but I hoped to play some red dead redemption tonight. Do I have too? grrrrr. Oh and he couldn't find his car key this morning so he took mine which is fair enough but he took my keys too rather than the spare for his car or the spare for mine, and my house keys are attatched to my main car key so I can't go out. Then he phones back to ask if I had done online shop yet!! Seriously when have I had time?

    reusable nappies :) Bought loads when pg with 2nd baby because 1st still in nappies but by the time number 2 arrived number 1 was potty trained. Number 2 is now almost there and i have 4 months until the pixel arrives so thought i would sell off the new ones still in packets and get a bit for the OP pot. Other things are kids bits and pieces like shoes they never wore then grew out of and stuff.

    right its late, OH has gutted most of the house it was such an unusual occurance that his mum came over to watch too :)

    Alot seems to of sold on Ebay. 17 sold, 3 unsold and 24 still to finish so :). any money getting shoved into an overpayment once its all cleared unless of course my viewers tomorrow buy and then it will get left to languish in my bank account to pay some costs :)

  • Good luck with the house viewing tomorrow LP. It all seems to be happening at the moment and i am in awe at the e bay sales. I am not a fan of the place and tend to sell on Amazon when i do sell things.

    Final scores on the doors, 34 sold, 10 didn't, just over £140 after P&P costs and ebay fees.
