    Paypal shows this if you go to the withdrawl screen and click the link to show the minimum withdrawl amount. I say again this is PAYPAL!

    So better go to to £6 on STP then transfer it over otherwise your going to have to do another £5 before you can transfer the cash from Paypal

    oooh sorry!! blonde moment there! I allready have some money in paypal though, im just kinda trying to get over £50 but the boy keeps buying things on ebay grrr! He owes me money for that actually...

    and also I forgot to say, me and the boy went for a meal about 6 weeks ago and it was ok but the garlic bread had totally changed since the last time we went but the menu description stayed the same and it tasted all hard like it had been under a hot lamp for aaages so I dropped the chain an email and they've been nothing but wonderful, called me, emailed me and everything, and they've sent me £20 vouchers to make up for it!!! And my mum and gran have got 2 50% off vouchers for me from their papers so I recon J and I can have two nice meals out together!! (but this time not get garlic bread!!) :D

    oh yeah and Cinny - im back to 2 stars on stp, think im just too honest and dont really aim to fit in with everyone else

    Morning all,

    Well its my last day off today, NIM is back at work. So this is a day to catch up on my homework for sewing class. Tete, do you have any idea of the dates of the class? ie when the holidays are and so on?

    It's about now I wish I had Birdie's skills in scrapbooking, trying to make my samples look neat and pretty is beyond me!

    NIM and I have picked out wedding china. Its fairly traditional to be honest, but its delicate and pretty and won't date badly. Also I found a site selling it 25% off which is great! I should have the budget back in my grubby little mitts today, just need him to email over the spreadsheets this evening.

    Dinah - That china is lovely! That should last you forever too - I think my Grandparents have wedgewood plates that they use everyday and they had them many years before I was born and they're still going strong! Looking forward to getting the budget back?

    Are you going to keep the email address going that NIM set up as I think that is a brilliant idea.

    Did you manage to get any of the New Look patterns in the sale Tete? I had a look at some of the vogue ones, so nice but a lot more expensive!

    I did , the one I got was a New Look one, looks a bit simple but that's probably what I need!!

    Oh no, you're swotting up while I'm at work! I was wondering this myself actually - surely the class won't be on during half term?

    Your OH sounds like a star buying you bits aww.

    He is, he's a total darling :D

    Good news Lara about the moving - naked midnight dashes are never good!

    Well I made £80 on ebay in the end last night and a couple of things sold for a bit more than I paid for them which is always good. My decluttering keeps on throwing up more and more junk though so it's going to be another marathon ebay sesh on Thursday I think.

    At least if you both actually look at it and understand the budget it may help.

    Well done on ebay Tete! Some good sales there, need to get OH's playstation 2 on there soon, when we have managed to find all the bits.
  • Thanks Wendz, just spent £7 of it on a pair of earrings for my friend's birthday on Etsy - but that's £7 I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise! Still got loads more to go on in the way of electrical things - old CD walkmans and stuff - I seem to remember Dinah saying she'd sold a cassette walkman so I figure it's worth a go before it all goes to charity!

    Very quiet today, everyone busy cos it's Monday? I had a dream over the weekend about work (sad I know) and in it, everything that is currently causing me problems and making me stressed was all done with and sorted, it was a lovely feeling! Then I woke up :(
