    Hi RMC

    Have just read your diary from start to finish this evening, your references to Richard Branson cracked me up! I am definately contributing to Necker Island as currently owe Virgin £1070 and he makes £20 interest off me a month!

    Good luck with the quitting smoking and the debt busting x

    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;)

    Thanks for reading my diary ........I think I sound like a demented lunatic!

    £12.17 on weekly shop is amazing - very well done. Are you a veggie?

    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 CDs

    Could you tell me if ebay listings are free if 99p and can i relist them free aswell. If so I may start listing. I did do a lot of ebaying years ago but stopped when the post office changed their price policy size not weight. Too hard to work out size, my brain isn't big enough. Good luck to the both of you this weekend. It will be insteresting to see next weekend what youre final net cash amout is for these 100 items each.

    Wonders: Is there any money to be made in declaring yourself crazy:eek:

    Thanks for reading...it really does help to know that someone is watching my progress/regression

    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!!
