    LBD = little black dress - or in my case littler than I would have liked it to have been......hence the effort to lose weight!

    :rotfl:And a lamb called Timmy at that (for fans of Shaun the Sheep! ;))

    You know, I don't think this bingo of the fox likes me much: I've played through nearly £13 of credit without the slightest hint of a win. How much do you have to put into BB to start?

    I think it's a £5 minimum and they match it and then £5 bonus money a day for 30 days. I started with £20 and won it back the same day so anything out of the bonus fivers is profit now. Odd are better as it's a less high profile site (boredom levels are equal though :D)

    Shaun, thats so great! You're going to have a ball watching him, tell me you have/can borrow a video camera?

    Hypno - the weight thing is really working this time, hey? Excellent. And good luck with the sale.

    i think my run with BB ends at the start of next week, but i've got OH started which will keep me ticking along for a couple more weeks.. Yet to find anything to replace it though, how did we find BB in the first place???

    Right, have been through the cupboards and the garage and have a fair bit of stuff that I am hopeful will sell - we shall see tomorrow, but I feel quite hopeful that I will come away with a few pounds more than I go with........and of course, anything at all will be better than nothing.

    And while sorting, we found all sorts of stuff that we thought we had mislaid, and several pairs of gloves that will see the children through the winter season.

    So, even if we didn't make it to the sale, for some reason, or if it is cancelled, I think we have still achieved something.....although the house somewhat resembles an explosion in a ski shop just at this moment while we have a bit of a sit down, some dinner, and a much needed coffee. The children will then carry on with cleaning boots and skis that have gathered dust in the garage, and I will get on with packing up and pricing what we have ready to sell.

    I just hope it goes ok now!!
