    Hi Froggy, thats great that you get three free goes on the NHS....i live in Northern Ireland and you only get one free go. My brother and his wife are expecting to pay around 6k for this round :eek::eek:....lets just pray it works as you can easily see how people end up getting into a shed load of debt over the whole thing!
    Thanks for your kind wishes....i find these forums really weird...is it just me or does everyone wonder what everyone else looks like in real life...i have little pictures of everyone in my head including you! Seen a picture of billy on his diary and he is nothing like what i imagined...i thought he would have been a lot older :rotfl::rotfl:.

    Yep, very lucky to have 3 go's..but this is our last chance before we would have to go private, which would cost between £5 & £7K around here.. It would be very easy to get into debt over it..

    Yes I also have an idea in my head of what people looks like in my head (an am probably very wrong)... Billy is only 29, still a teenager!! :rotfl:

    The good news is i have made £145 pounds on ebay today and still have a few small items finishing tomorrow:j:j.
    I cannot believe my old laptop sold for over £70 and it didnt even work :D
    Ebay is really strange there was quite a few things i have listed before at 99p and didnt sell and this time round they sold for quite a bit more.
    On the otherhand i was selling an item and someone bid on it during the week...about 30 seconds before the auction ended someone else came in and outbid them and ended up winning the auction. Literally 2 minutes later i receive an email from the "winner" saying "i am not interested in item"........seriously what is wrong with these people :mad: , this really p*sses me off. Why do people do this? I think it that sort of thing that really puts people off ebay.
    Anyway rant over, hopefully everyone else pays and we all live happily ever after :D
    Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend

    All the ebay sales have finished and i have made a total of £176 :j:j...am so delighted with this amount. The biggest shock was my old digital camera...had a bid of £2 on it this morning and i went out for a few hours and when i checked back it had sold for £21 :D...it is really dated and you have to put batteries in it...i cannot understand why someone would pay that amount of money for it!
    Had to buy DD a few bits from sports direct today but should earn some cashback as i have my card registered for instore purchases through quidco :D
