Their loss precisely.

So the numbers for council tax and water rates are in. Got a small - but welcome - pay rise too, pretty sure they cancel each other out. But of course once I get a decent job we can breathe a little easier.DC.

At least they cancel each other out......sometimes, being able to retain the status quo is pretty darned good!

Good Morning
Wave to PAF and SH, I know you are both leading busy, everchanging lives, so you dropping by is appreciated.
My attempts at selling on Amazon and ebay has really been paying off this week, £30 of sales in the last 3 days. Need to keep up the momentum. Just listing one thing a day.
Pretty lazy day yesterday, due to an unputdownable book...
However with both children out this afternoon I have plans for the kitchen cupboards, this may stretch to the windows, but not the oven !
Off for a mooch around the diaries.DC.

Ooooh I really need to shift some CDs, DVDs and books, do you reckon Amazon is the way to go? Never sold on there before, is it easy?
Oh, sorry, morning DC :wave:DFW Nerd no. 496 - Proud to be dealing with my debts!!0 -
Morning Jo !
Thing I like about Amazon is fees are paid up front. Yes is easy, easier than ebay I think.
Just about to pop over to the AF thread and confess...DC.
