oh my god!!!!

i am so shocked i just had to tell someone! for years i have had this grotty massive old mirror with all the paint peeling off that my other half "aquired" from a building they were knocking down (men! :rolleyes: ), nobody wanted it so he brought it home! he brought it in the house and i said "like hxxx thats coming in my house you`d have to pay me" anyway it got relegated to the garage for the last ten years with the kids bikes and mowers etc. recently we were having a clearout and i eventually managed to get other half to agree to put it on ebay which we promptly did we thought we`d be lucky to get a fiver or ten pounds for it, well it finished tonight and boy did it! £302 :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :D :j :beer: i couldnt believe my eyes , it just goes to show dont throw it out ebay it as one mans rubbish is another mans treasure! im off to do £302`s worth of shopping tomorrow :p lol :rotfl:

    im just glad to get rid of it to be honest ive been tripping over it daily in my pursuit to get to the freezer at least someone might appreciate it now! and the money will come in very handy to pay off the credit card which will leave me debt free after years of struggling :D
