Getting tempted to buy something to take advantage of the Google Checkout offer where if you buy £30 somewhere, you get £10 off!
Can't think what I actually NEED, or even of any presents I need to buy.
Found a cool photo display frame on ebuyer which displays pictures on a slideshow from a memory chip from a camera that you can plug into it. That's quite cool but a little over £30 inc. delivery.
Just seen a thread about those on the Grabbit board IIRC. All the models have at least one thing missing - MP3, a USB or something so not particularly good I don't think!0 -

Cheers for tipping me off - I have gone off the idea anyway as although I want to take advantage of Google's generosity, I don't really need anything at the moment so I can't see any point in buying things.
Ebuyer, it must be noted, seem to have put up the prices of quite a few things since the Google "Buy £30 of stuff, get £10 off" offer so actually you're not getting as good a deal as you ought!
I have been thinking of replacing my aging desktop computer but I can't summon up the courage to spend something stupid like £1000 replacing it. Expensive beasts. I think I might just wait until the useless thing dies completely and then replace it with something much better/cheaper.LBM: Nov 2004 Debt Apr06: £19,273.46 (Highest)

Hi DDDK,
Never posted on your thread before, but I do always read it.
Congrats on all your efforts to date. Really inspirational.
Like you, i can't wait to transfer money to pay of something when i have a bit of extra cash about (from the 'stash' fund as hubby and i call it).
all the best with the sale of the flat also.

Cheers Bec,
PS I like the sig: "Getting a reputation for being 'careful' (read as tight) with money - hubby likes the increasing bank balance though!"
I want one (an increasing bank balance)!LBM: Nov 2004 Debt Apr06: £19,273.46 (Highest)

He's even more pleased now. Had a successful couple of days on ebay. Have only dabbled in selling, but am starting a bit more.
Freebie i received which was a braun epilator got snatched up today when i added a BIN price. Very pleased.
Even did the right thing and paid my ebay fees in full using the paypal funds!!
Now, just what else to sell!!0 -
