    Hi wondered if I could join this, sorry I realise you are two weeks in but I am loving the thread and it inspired me to have a go ( off line ) so to speak and I have just sold some stuff on ebay this week and could really do with raising 10k this year so feel I would really try and give this a shot.

    Fingers crossed I can still join..........

    BB stands for Bulletin Board (the retro way of saying forum). Its probably a restriction the forum has to limit the size of signatures, just to avoid abuse. I had a look and there is a size rule so maybe see if by making your signature bigger you're going over the limit:
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=361028&postcount=11

    Maybe you've fallen prey to a bug if not. Maybe like this thread:
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=885341

    Probably won't make a difference but the buttons basically just add tags around your text. Could try typing the tags manually. e.g.

    Your text here

    Removing the space after the 7 results in this:
    Your text here
    Hope that helps and you can make a nice sig with it

    Thanks for this but no joy ... I am now not bothered about changing it but just trying to puzzle it out ... there were a load of superfluous tags which I removed in code view and I tidied the code up a bit but no joy ... no text allowed over size 2 for me ;)

    Thank you cakeordeath, tried this and won another £1 :rotfl:. Still unable to withdraw anything without losing the bonus £5 so guess I'll have to wait til I've been playing 29 days then go for the whole lot at once
    Play the "cash wins" that you have and make sure that you use up ALL of the bonus in one day (you can always use the odd pennies on the 7am next day slot). That way as long as ALL the money is used you will get your £5 bonus next day.

    I have been doing this and it always works for me. You will loose the opportunity to gamble with thier £5 each day for the next 29 days if you dont use it all up in one day.
    lovin' this site!

    Yes def a market for baby products, just don't pay too much! 99p sounds fine! Check out local specific baby sales for re-sale, I know the NCT run them or contact your local childrens centre or health visitor, put an ad at local playgroups etc. There are often 2nd hand baby shops that will sell things for you but they take a cut Can you tell I have 2 young children and am on a budget?!

    I've added you to the list, which will be updated Monday. Takes up a lot of space. :p.

    A positive update from me:

    I sold a complete series DVD boxset which I had listed about a week ago "as new" on Play.com. I didnt think it would sell tbh but just placed it there as a Test with some other DVDS.

    When I originally listed it I placed it for £65. but then 2 days ago I checked Play and saw the cheapest one was going for £95! So I upped my listing to £73.

    Today I get an email saying it was sold!! Am over the moon
    a) that it sold
    b) that I upped the price!

    Its a heavy box set so hopefully the extra £8 will now cover all the postage!

    A part of me wishes I made it a higher price - but then my sensible head says the reason it sold was someone saw it was a Bargain and grabbed it!

    I'm happy as its money for a DVD box set that was given to me about 4 years ago as a birthday present which I never really watched. think I watched one Disc out of the 11 or so in the box set!! woohoo now to go about packaging and posting.

    will update my sig when I get the money in my account and take off postage costs!!

    Yay :)
