God, I hate Richard Branson - I cant even bear to share how much I pay in interest to him, and lets not talk about late payment fees!!:mad: However those days are over and he would seriously need to consider sending that daughter of his back to medical school, cuz the Bransons are going to need to do some big time cutting back and money saving..............my days of keeping them in the manner to which they have become accustomed are numbered;)

Ok done for the evening - currently 107 listed on ebay and didn't I start with 76, so thats 31
Amazon - 14
And I am done for the evening!
I dont have a life so no plans for weekend. Truth: We live in a rural area, I have a 50 mile round trip to work, the nearest large supermarket is 9 miles away..........I am telling you all this to explain that a) I have no life and b) I refuse to drive at the weekends because after spending 5 hours sitting in a car park which is affectionately known as a motorway outside of rush hour I am happy at home!
Occasionally we do go out..........but not this weekend.
How sad am I - LOL
So the plan for the weekend is:-
a) finish VAT return
b) send bills to customers and update accounts
c) ironing
d) clean the bl00dy house
e) more listing..........might even get thru all the DVDs and CDsLBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.

LOL cash amount - will be very happy with £100! More for Neckar Island reclaim!
99p listing is free and my friends on here tell me that relisting is also free if you start at this amount but perhaps you should just confirm on ebay as I dont want to be the first MSN to COST another poster pennies!!LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
