    Woo hoo - thats a total & a half.
    I need to add more to it though!

    Having a mass house clear up today & boxing up aything I want carbooting, and doing that next weekend, will go back through all the dvd's etc first to cheque against ebay / amazon to see if I can get more off those than carbooty so its going to be a very busy day here!
    I have some extra work lined up for next week too hopefully so will see what I get from that.

    Will check my survey sites etc again today too. Lots to do so I can hopefully update next week with much more!

    This is an update to my sig but definitely not in the right direction. :o It seems I was premature in adding the £18 for the e-bay item I sold - despite being very well packed it arrived in several pieces *sob* so I am now minus £18 - I am actually more down than this due to the cost of packing materials and hefty postage... it seems 1 step forward and 2 back. I will be putting in a claim with the carriers but i have a low hope threshold at the mo. :confused:

    Don't be down dedicated - you will get your money back from Royal Mail. I had to do a refund yesterday and it made me feel sad but you have to bounce back so I have just prepared 10 new listings ready to upload. Chin up :)
