  • Premium bonds - I thought it was a 30 day timescale to get cash back, but form implies its 8 days so not that bad.

    If I had 10,000 k in the bank now I wouldnt invest in bonds as interest in the bank would be greater. But my thinking is that I wont have 10,000k in the bank until 31st December 2010 ! So whilst the amounts I am dealing with are only in the hundreds, I will personally invest in premium bonds as the interest from a bank would be minimal. I might invest in premium bonds for the first 6 months, then transfer to a bank account when its a decent sum of money ! God I am hoping !

    I know a few people with bonds and they seem to get a few £50 cheques. At the moment I am working my butt off for £5 profit so £50 through the door would be a jaffa cake and tea celebratory moment

    With regards to the Wii, I havent thought of papers and shops !! I will do that this week. Thanks for suggestion.

    The car is a pain in the bum. I had an offer on ebay, I was happy with it, but the guy never contacted me again. It was due to run out of MOT and I had loads of question about what it needed. I knew it was a good car, so I put it in for the MOT and it passed without needing anything. Now this is the bad bit - I then raised the price. It is £500 - £1000 below market value at a buy it now with best offer option. I have priced it at £1000 more than I wanted as normally you get stupid offers but I didnt even get these this time - not even an idiot offering £1 which I always get on best offers !! I think greed made me increase the price - after all it only cost me £50 for the MOT so if I was happy with the price before an MOT, I shouldnt really of increased the price. Need to weigh up what I want for it, and what its worth !! It is a rare car, so I have checked out the competition and no one seems to have sold theirs at the moment so perhaps I'll hang on a little ?

    Does anyone know how long it takes for BB win withdrawals to go into your account, please? Also, is it OK by Ebay rules to send a message saying you'll set up a BIN and message the other person the ref. no.? I've had two buyers asking for things that have finished and have messaged them as said above, and have had nothing back from either yet - is it possible Ebay could have intervened or something? Thank you :)
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    Hi Paula, when I had money transferred from BB it was about 200 and took about 48 hours to hit my account. HTH
