    Has anyone on here ever been asked to put something on Buy it Now? Someone's asked about a jacket which has about 12 watchers, I don't know if it's worth saying 'OK, £20 it's yours' to this person?

    I just tell people that it's a bidding auction and I have to let it run it's course. Then wish them luck if they bid on it. Not too sure how you pull listings tbh!

    CMD - That place sounds lovely, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

    Thanks Cinny, I'll just do that, I was struggling with how to word it! I don't think it's fair on people to just pull a listing.

    At least you know someone is seriously interested in it! Hopefully you'll get a little bidding war near the end.

    Just had another £25 payment clear on the CC :T Looks like I've actually made some progress with it now! Figure I can pay it off in 7ish weeks, so way beating my Christmas target.

    Oh no! I've just been innocently surfing various clothes websites looking for inspiration for my mood board (honest!!) and have seen that this cat dress has gone in the sale - I was looking at it a couple of weeks ago and almost bought it at full price only they didn't have my size!! I have enough in £2 coins....

    Ohh I do like the look of that dress Tete..shouldn't be tempting you haha. Ihave put myself on a mini clothes buying ban for the month as am probably getting some money/vouchers for my birthday in 3 weeks and so can get some stuff with that.

    OK well the POA is, brave the rain and pop into town after work to see if they miraculously have my size now (thus avoiding the P&P charge), and if not, to double check the length as I seem to think it's quite short. If they seem long enough for my amazonian legs then I'll order online and put the £2s in the bank to cover it :o

    I love that dress! Let us know how you got in with your 'amazonian legs' - lucky you! I resent paying for trousers and having to lop about 4 inches off the bottom before I can wear them :(
