    Sure has :D.

    Can't be anything too scary awaiting in the pile of post at home because my hubby hasn't phoned me about it! SBO - can you send me a link for that turbolister thingy.

    Not a bad day on the ward - just 2 more shifts after this then home.

    Just did a bit more research and looked at the other provider who does the English testing for my Oz application - they do it in Glasgow for £115!!!! A much better option than $782 in London!!!!

    Feel like I just saved £400 ;).

    Test dates are 22nd October, 5th November or 3rd December - off to find my diary and see which one I can book myself in for. Will wait to do the actual booking until Thursday as I'm expecting bank money then :D.

    Planning to book my English language test for 22nd October (sounds ridiculous doesn't it!!). Will book it on Thursday with my bank money to cover it. £115:eek:.

    After that will have to start saving to have my registration approved by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council. From memory around $850:eek:.

    In the meantime, the ipod which i listed again finishes tonight - hoping to achieve more than £30. Then come Tuesday I will be listing a whole host of goodies aiming for them to finish on Friday evening so that I can post them Saturday or Monday before I head back to London. Thanks to SBO planning to use the turbolister thingy;).

    Also, waiting patiently for responses from my 2 F&Fs re: HBOS overdrafts. They have until 20th September to write and inform me whether they are acceptable. If not, they are withdrawn.

    I know there is a whole ebay thread but just wanted to ask you do you try and list ebay sales to end at a particular time, do you find that there are particularly 'hot' times to sell?

    Listings ending Thursday - Sunday in the evening tend to get the most attention:j.

    The ipod sold for £50 (sold for £56 last time), but already paid so will post it on Tuesday morning:j:j.

    Money is already winging its way to my bank:D.

    Can't wait to get tomorrow's shift over and done with, then home for one week inc. my wedding Anniversary next Sunday:kisses3:.

    Of course we are having a very frugally enjoyable Anniversary - going to a beautiful Italian restaurant close to home via Groupon for a total cost of £18 - 2 courses each plus a glass of wine or bottle of peroni. Hubby won't have the beer because he will drive as he is working the next day - so I will force myself to have 2 glasses of vino:D.
