    Hey you,

    That blinkin diving gear eh? What a nightmare. Maybe selling it wasn't meant to be after all? Maybe it's trying to tell you something. What's an octopus by the way (I would ask my scuba enthusiast OH but he's gone to work).

    How's all the other ebaying going? Much luck?

    You and you're baking, you're putting me to shame! I did however make a lovely lemon cheesecake in first year Home Economics and it was rather nice. Can't for the life of me remember the recipe (well it was 18 years ago!) but it involved crushing up digestive biscuits in a bag and a packet of philadelphia. Heck, I feel really old now, 18 years ago, nightmare :o

    A snooze is exercise for the brain! Does that count? :confused:;)

    Mol an octopus is a spare breathing tube effectively in case yours breaks or another diver needs help...not a good thing to have a crack in...potentially fatal if it didnt work when you need it! Feeling better fater snooze & just sorting through stuff for car boot - although did save a few CD's must have been really desperate when I put my new David grey in for example!! :eek:

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    yay @ you making so much money!! I'd love to do a carboot with all the stuff I can't even sell on ebay, but am lacking car. Will have to rope in LB at some point.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Hi Obi...was def worth it & people bought things I NEVER thought would sell...ie my mum put in a "vibrating massager" that must have been one of the first as came in a 70's box (much hilarity on picture & description!) and it sold for £1!!! Also had great fun with banter & a good way to make £100!! Now looking round for more stuff to sell & going to do another one in August!! CD's, jewellry, books, plant pots & nik naks went well if thats any help but definate proof that people will buy pretty much anything - your old junk is another mans bargain!
