I have a question thats of topic regarding ebay. I am new to ebay but I agreed to buy some little halloween toys from a seller, not private i was his own little shop type thing but decided nearly straight away that i didnt want them so deleted them from my baskety thing but I am still getting emails from him to remind me to pay. I just wanted to know what the score was on it. do I have to pay?

If you clicked "commit to buy" then it's a binding contract and you need to pay for them. Sorry

Debating on dds xmas present, (got £92 Amazon vouchers so far)and am doing Dooyoo, hopeing to get dd a Wii (courtesy of vouchers)

What extras would you recommend.

It depends on what games you want to get - the Mario racing game is popular with Husband and uses the steering wheels. I'd say dance mat* and microphone.

*I linked to one of the less cheap games because the cheaper mat/game combos aren't in stock.

Sorry - ningun tal grado en este momento- - I've no idea if my Spanish is correct (I used an online translation engine!), and I don't mean to have a 'pop' at you, but you do need to be careful if this is what you're putting on your cv .

Opps :eek: your right hunni I always get it wrong lol:o Give us a kick up the bum its an A/S Level not an A-Level got an A* in my GCSE:o

Hi all, sorry I never get on here half as often as I should. However I am here cause I want something!!


well 2 things actually.

Sarah - could you tell me where you get all of your christmas jokes from? I have quite a few but ideally would love some more as I want to make a jar for DS's stocking or even a book with jokes in for him which relate around christmas!

Also ....

I am looking for a ben 10 torch, I have no idea if they make this style but I am sure someone can point me in the right place, or tell me if I am dreaming!!

Basically it is a torch which has interchangeable heads so it can put shadows on the light? the same as this peppa pig torch Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

Why don't you do the second year, and finish the A level? They're bringing in A* grade in for students who start their courses from this September, so unfortunately your AS taken before then won't qualify you for that, however, it'd still be a heck of an achivement to convert the AS to a full A level, and if you did get an A or a B, that's some mighty learning there!:D

hope you dont mind me joining in at this late stage, but i do know were your up too and the challenges so far.
little background on me.
I'm Christmas crazy, always have been. bought 90% of my Christmas presents, all my cards, and most of my wrapping paper.
i try to buy presents for people that i would like to get but mostly that i know the person would love to get.
things i have done for me are:
first job in farming (everyone told me not to) it was the best job in the world!
working with children with disability's including my own child. i love this and now i get paid to do it!
sign language class, last year.
this years challenge it take over from the teacher for circle time were we talk about all sorts of things around feelings! 1 down 37 weeks to go! ROFL

Its a good Idea, but I don't really use it, never gone for a job where I needed to speak Spanish, its more conversational and I only really speak it when I go to spain to visit family and friends. It's not really something I ever set out to achive just with living in Gibraltar I had to take spanish and then when I moved back to the UK I took the A/S to try and continue and maybe look at working with it but other jobs came along then OH and the Kids and career plans changed. If I were to study for something now it would have to be on the forensic side as I would really like to get into that and maybe work with the police, just things are a bit hard at the moment and money is a bit tight. Maybe one day:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

FOOD LIST
Nows the time to start listing those extra items needed for xmas
mincemeat bought in the sale at Mr T's in Apr at a massive reduction and long BBD
Cranberry sauce in freezer
Need to think about what else is needed for this year's big day as I will be preparing the meal. Will start to get things in around Sept time and also buy the veg approx 1 week in advance

Also will make a list of what I need for a Christmas Cake thanks to everyone for their recipes, I've been inspired to give it a go in a couple of weeks time

Can you use whisky or rum for the cake? Which would be better do you think, I have a ton of both. I think whisky might be better with fruit or shall I buy a little bottle of brandy instead?
