    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
  • 22p is absolutely scandalous. Have you tried phoning them up and asking them if they could reduce the interest rate, it might be worth a try.

  • I noticed the free listing on e-bay so may list some of the books that are currently on Amazon that don't seem to be selling.

    Oh thanks for that and thanks for reading my diary - bless you!

    Great of Ebay to come up with free listing 1 week before Easter - can't see me selling much for stuff ending Easter Sunday or Easter Monday - will put everything on for 10 days to get over that hurdle - or do they charge for 10 day listing?

  • hmmmm here are the t&cs I have had a quick scan through and can't see if it limited to only 7 days.

    It also states that it is the 20th and 21st (the title in my email was 21st and 22nd :o)
