  • I think I'd have to agree with Red - pull a sickie or don't answer the door. How dare visitors descend in the middle of an e-bay challenge!!!

    a sneaky 15 indeed

    Have listed ZERO since Sunday - have currently 110 listed but am very aware I need to list some more before Sunday and I will, I promise!

    Today I was stuck in traffic jam and trying to find a car worth £28k, I know I have no idea about the value of cars!

    :beer: Result tonight got to our local pub for dinner tonight and they had an offer on for £4.95 for as much as you can eat carvery, they must have known i was on a budget :T:T
    Not done any ebay listing tonight as we have a visitor but have lots of watchers and and quite a few bids.

  • Fab news on the carvery, it's a shame really that they don't allow you to put another plate of food up for the following day isn't it?

    I've got 20 days to payday and counting. I hate 5 week months :(

    I am intrigued as to where you are getting all these things to list on ebay. Having said this, I am getting a few good bids on the things I listed (all 16 ;)!) It's far more fun when things are selling well:)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,

    Dont think I will be that lucky, then again what else will we be doing, its not as if we can go on a shopping trip or a weekend break.
    We could always list another 100 if you have nothing else to do ;)
