    Just listed our Christmas tree on Gumtree for £25. Tis the season and all that............actually its not. And that's a major advertising glitch :(.

    Going to try the ipod touch, the dell netbook and Cole's 22" LCD TV on Gumtree too :D.

    Couple of more listings on Gumtree, and a couple more on eBay. More industry tomorrow, enough for one night.

    Already had an email via Gumtree re: the Dell netbook. Someone wants to come and see it:j.

    Also converting my May Clubcard deals into BA miles towards our flights down to London for when we are Oz bound:D.

    Oh yeah, and the cash4clothes people come today - think they might be disappointed with my paltry offerings:o. Will try to sneak in a bit more if possible!

    Thats good news, i have always found Gumtree a good place to sell and i have had a few bits of work from placing an ad.
    Most of my clothes are either too small or ancient but if i took them out of my wardrobe it would be empty.
    Have a good day and if you get bored you could pen another chapter.I think the publishers are stupid if they don't take it on.:-)

    Clubcard points all converted into BA Miles :D.

    4 big fat bags for the Cash 4 Clothes people all sitting patiently waiting :D.

    Hubby was caught muttering to a friend on the phone about going to a Player of the Year Dance Saturday night. I don't want to go. I'm sure it would be a cheap night, but I'm all organised to do a car booty Sunday morning, and HE IS COMING WITH ME TO HELP.

    I haven't actually told him that yet, but will ;). I've got lots of stuff ready for a booty, and I'm all fired up. I want the cash :D.

    So, will break it to him gently. I will offer to drive and he can drag his hungover butt out of bed and come and help me.

    I suspect my book won't get anywhere, but at least its giving everyone a giggle:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    I reckon getting it published will be a long battle, and I'm running out of time! 76 days today we leave:j. Any offers for anyone who wants to act as my Agent in the UK:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Just had a message through Gumtree, an offer of £60 for the netbook. I advertised it for £80 which is still a total bargain. Have emailed back politely declining, but saying I'd accept £75 ;).

    Today I am promising myself I will list again on eBay. Put the 22" LCD TV from Cole's old room on Gumtree, as well as the surround sound system and a DVD player. Can't resist a little rummage around for other bits and bobs to flog:p.

    Hubby and Cole are going to a friend's Cup Final tonight, so I will have peace perfect peace to drink wine and list stuff for sale.winesmiley.gif

    Waiting to see how much dosh my 4 bags of "guff" will fetch.:j Probably a tenner:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
