Hi all,
Flat is still in a bit of a mess but hoping to sort stuff out tomorrow and then get more stuff listed on ebay. I have decided that I am going to take all the pennies I have saved and make that as an over payment to my virgin cc. I know it won't be alot but hay every little counts.
Looking forward to getting my challenge number
Keep up the good work everyone.

Oh yes it does and TBH you might be surprised at what you get for your bits 'n' bobs: I got over £6 for a false moustache once, and £92 for a busted laptop. One man's junk is often another's treasure...Please call me 'Pickle'

Hi all,

Roll on next Saturday when the rest of the items finish.
