    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T

    Today I need to take photos for more ebaying. Am struggling to price postage properly - am worried about getting poor feedback for being too expensive so have not charged for packing materials. The man in the post office told me off for being silly and said I need to charge more to cover my costs.

    Just trying to summon motivation to get out in the sunshine with the camera and take more photos of random stuff.

    I think this works

    http://sg.royalmail.com/portal/rm/PriceFinder?catId=23500532&gear=pricingcalc&campaignid=pricefinder_redirect

    You wiegh the item when its wrapped - or weigh the wrapping and then the item and add the two together - then put the wieght into this site and it will tell you the postage

    Might help?? I;ve use it a few times to keep me on the straight and narrow......

    Goodluck! Free listing today as well I think isnt it?

    Hi everyone -

    great to see you back Yorkshire Belle, but I'm so very sorry to hear about your Mum x.

    Congratulations on busting Evil Edna Fay! And I used your bicarb tip- thanks to that and Febreze the car probably smells better than before T went Exorcist in it. :p

    Today I:
    1) Sorted out car
    2) SCs
    3) Went into town to pick up some cheap tickets for dinnerladies for my Mum that I got at a discount through work. Bought them in person rather than on the phone to save nearly £8 in booking fees!:eek:Outrageous.
    4) Bought a bedsheet for £2 and 6 bottles of fizz from M&S for £12. Hidden them away for Christmas.
    5) Took photos of T by a huge Lego Father Chrismas in a shop window.
    6) Sorted out some baby clothes that I am giving away and a couple of posher bits that someone is buying tonight.

    Not much today really,T is a still a bit off colour but not too bad thanks for asking.

    I'm with you Casper - can't wait for Doctor Who tonight!
    L xx
  • Hey there glad the car is now OK
