    This reminds me, I really should dig out my old mobiles. I'm sure there must be 3 or 4 knocking about somewhere at home. They're ancient though, not sure there'd be too much value in them. Any recommendations of a good place to try?

    I went through a mobile recycling comparison site (you can just g00gle it), then did a vlookup in a spreadsheet with the data captured in the cashback site and then compared feedback.. Oh dear, I sound like a geek :(..

    That's brilliant Froggy, yay to 'free' money:j

    It's funny how we often enjoy these smaller finds rather than the big stuff :D

    I hope work is not too tiresome this week, we've passed the half-way mark and Friday beckons :j

    Friday at last! :j:j:j:j

    Mobile phone recycling company confirmed they have received it and Bacs payment on its way..

    My boss made an appearance today :rotfl: did not last long.. Apparently she is on holidays next week.. But, she loves her job so much, I would not be surprised if she makes another appearance.. In the meantime, I will enjoy the peace & quiet..

    Have a great weekend

    Hey Al

    Weekend is going well so far.. Was up at the crack of dawn.. The older I get, the less I sleep.. I used to be able to sleep way past noon at the weekend a few years back :(

    Ran a few errands this morning, caught up with the Ashes & the footy an generally chilled..

    Pretty much the same thing planned tomorrow.. Ironing is on the cards (Hi Tilly :j).. and will continue to search the internet for a new job...
