    sniper - i've used the one that Martin and Sami recommends and one a few things. i think with the free ones, your bid goes in at say 10 secs before the auction ends, whereas if you pay for them, some bid even closer to the end, eg. 5 sec. i have been very happy with the free ones

    R4 cards - i'm with Caz, how do you get them and where do i find the games to download (imagine if i google i'll have too much information)

    Caz, if you have a mobile phone man on the market, they usually sell the R4 cards... It's where I got one for my neice from...

    Window man's been... Said the seal at the front door is fine, if I want to replace the floor then I don't need the bit of trim that's there, I can just run it straight up to the door... He's also going to give me a price for a new front window... And if I don't mind paying cash he'll knock the VAT off and put it on the certificate with the other 4 windows... Hmm... It might come down to a choice of Oyster or window...

    Maybe I'll borrow the money off my Nan... She's minted... She bought my aunt's windows...


    If its just the white UPVC trim stuff at the front door you can lift and replace any time. You can get a long strip from B&Q for no much money and a £1 tube of sealant, job done!

    I'd get the window :o! Be wary of the window being too dear, he might be at it lol

    Alright then :D Well hold off on the paypal just now, cause what I'll do is, I'll go order an SD card off play.com for you, as it's way cheaper off there than market man charges (10!!!)

    I think the card can only take 2gb though? Someone correct me if Im wrong!!

    Then I think Im popping into town tomorrow so I'll pick one up then, then once the SD comes, you let me know what games you want for the kids, and I'll bung them all on :D

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Hmmm, just randomly logged into topcash back and I had money waiting. Its now winging its way into my Paypal. I'm beginning to think someone up there wants me to bid on ebay things.........

    Or you could just buy it from there ^^ lol

    Actually you maybe be better doing that as its £17.95 with the SD card. You could just send it up to me once you got it? But maybe that's a faff, I dunno lol, and don't be silly I don't want anything for doing it, I do it every 3 days for Keira because she decides she wants new games.

    Well you are half way there AF :D

    Once you get an R4, you have to download software onto the SD card that tricks the DS into thinking it's real.

    It's easy enough to find but if any of you has MSN or whatever, I could just send the file like that.

    I download my games from Romulation by the by :)
