    Nooo! No time for vegetating - it's a free listing weekend! Get listing; you have an hour and 39 minutes left!

    (I have listed 8 items to finish next Sunday at peak time. Hoping for some decent last minute bidding wars for a change)

    I'm ashamed - nothing listed but two large piles looked out:p.

    To be honest, I ended up under a bit of pressure yesterday. Spoke to a friend of a friend yesterday morning in Australia who emigrated 3 years ago. Last minute panic as she told me excess baggage was very strict and to ship lots of clothes rather than have overweight cases as they charge £40/kilo!!!! As we now only have 20kg each, the chances of being overweight were very high. Last minute.com as I contacted the shippers in a panic to request 4 tea cartons be delivered. Cue lots of last minute shopping as she told me to buy duvets, pillows, bedding, cutlery etc:eek::eek:.

    £220 to ship 4 cartons - it would definately cost me more than that in excess baggage. Also managed to get king size quilts at Tesco Direct £7.71 each as opposed to $90 (£60). And I found a £20 off when you spend £150 code ;). Final bill £151.90:j.

    Many thanks BoF:).

    I'm hoping I can say the same thing in 5 years, and can honestly say I'm looking forward to every minute of it:j:j.

    Sounds like you had enough going on yesterday! Also, can't believe the wee fella's bike got stolen :mad: Could it be someone who saw it on gumtree and decided not to pay for it?

    You can still get some listings up for 99p free listing. ;) 100 a month, isn't it? :D I'm sure you're already on this today anyway ;)

    Are you running out of stuff?
