    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 :D

    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...

    Yes, I've been a bit slow (or at a complete standstill) as regards numbers.....

    .......but consider yourselves as in! I will get round to it eventually :o
