  • I saw my sisters keeper last week, want to read the book now so might try borrow it from the library.

    I usually wait til near end for auctions too, I use goofbay sometimes to get items which works a lot of the time.

    Evening all. :hello:

    My 'baby's' gone off on his first school trip to Belgium. cry2.gif We all waved him off at 7 this morning (waaaaaaaay to early for a weekend :eek:) and just had a text to say they've just arrived at the hotel - I guess he's too busy having fun to phone. :rolleyes: cry2.gif:D

    It's not really great timing because one of his classmates was diagnosed with Swine flu early this week and with him being in the high risk category, I think I'll be on pins all weekend! :eek: :(

    MIL has given me a pile of mags she's finished with so might list some of those, she gives me them so I can check for comps LOL

    Haven't time to check them all now but these are the mags, if I know someone has already done some of them I'll do the others first if that makes sense.

    when you try and figure out how much your wins are worth do you go with RRP or the amount that places are actually selling it for?

    I go by RRP cos every shop sells for a different price and that's just confusing :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
