    That sounds like some bargains, we had the mini shopping spree, DD hates going clothes shopping, few bits from Primark, not as gd bargains as you, hope the takeaway was nice we cheated and had pizza, I think even on a debt free trail you need a treat here and there. xx

    Hi all!! Sorry its been a while! I have finally learned how to upload pics on ebay:j i am not putting loads on at once but maybe a few things each week. Had a good sale last week paid for the ticket i bought for a night out in June!!!:T
    Had some great bargins from tesco clothing direct sale its strange because i have had things less than half price and they are still in store now but who am i to complain??
    Still watching pennies and good habits are still prevailing!!!:D
    Still buying for christmas also.
    Hope your all well, esp you mum2one!!!
    Speak soon
    BTD:)

    still plodding along, doing a bit missing a bit as they say, thats brill re photos on ebay, if you fancy some pratice DD has had a sort out of book, dvds, and games........
    re ebay - tip I picked up from tv, the best time to end an auction is sunday late afternoon, early evening - as most people who say have bids on, may get caught up in a late bidding war!! If I'm doing 10 days, go on a thurs, end the following sunday, then 7 days sun to sun.

    I always avoid the free listing weekends, (unless its a dearer item), as basically everyone clears out, so its a buyers market, where normally they would be 5 types of this ds game, free weekend could go up to 30 or 40 - I look for buying on those.

    That's a very good point, mum2one: I think I will remember that myself next time I need to buy something. Thanks!

    And BtD, nice to see you here, and I'm glad to see that keeping the finances in order is going pretty well. Well done! :T Take care and keep us up-to-date. x
