    I'm stuck inside like you, ah well. Here's hoping the weekend is nice and sunny for us.
    Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck :)

    Morning all! :j

    The sun is shining outside.. Why do I have to be stuck inside with grumpy people?? :mad:

    On MFW news, I have sold another DVD on Amazon, and a book on GM.. I got 50p on OP, nothing on VO :o..

    How is everybody today?

    Froggy :cool:

    Is it sunny? Ou office is inside with views of the factory floor.....
    Was foggy on the way to work this morning too!

    You seem to be doing quite well with Amazon, I might give that a god for the books which we don't sell at the car boot.

    I get views of Manchester :o 22c around here today.. Will probably have luch outside on the grass verge along the Manchester canal :cool:

    Yes I would recommend Amazon.. You might not get much for it though, but anything sold goes against the mortgage so all in all, you have nothing to lose here...

    You get lunch outside?! we have lunch at our desks.....:( Still better than missing orders I guess.

    Exactly my thought, every penny helps. 30p for dvds on MM was rubbish but its better than them just sitting there in the study collecting dust.

    Guten Tag Herr G,

    Not quite as lovely a day up here. The sun is threatening to come out but hasn't broken through as yet. A balmy 15 in the car this morning though so not complaining. Just getting ready for my afternoon stroll round the glory that is Bathgate town centre. I'll need to remember to pop into Home Bargains on the way back to stock up on 19p creme eggs and caramel creme eggs. The diet isn't going well just now with all of the exercise equipment in the garage whilst renovation 1 continues. I really hope they'll be done today as I've had enough of the mess and dust.

    Enjoy your lunch by the canal. Sounds properly old school tranquil! Well done on the Amazon sales. Some of the prices there are ridiculously low so I hope you're not getting a doing on them. I think we need an MSE "for sale" board.

    Cheers,

    Billy

    Bonjour Billy! :j

    Please say Hi! to my OH as she goes past your way.. She is in Edinburgh at the moment but will drive back down tonight...

    Creme eggs... Yuk :naughty: thats definitely not on my list...

    Am not doing too badly with Amazon.. Prices are not very high, but higher than MM, so just a higher profit, and post office is next door to work, so easy to pop in and send the stuff out...

    I get you on wanting the work finished in the bathroom.. Can't wait till it gets done, I need the peace and quiet back in the house...

    Cheers

    Quick glance at the figures, and according to OH she thinks the unsecured loan would be paid off by end of October, which would mean overpaying £1162 per month..:eek::eek:
    Some of her bonus would go towards the mortgage account as well as Nov & Dec OP, which would take the mortgage sub £130K :D:D

    I don't really know how realistc these figures are at the moment.. but I will go with the flow...

    Cheers

    Afternoon all! :j

    A few more pennies on OP last night and 75p on VO which takes me over payout level, however I need to wait until they are all confirmed.. Anybody know how long it takes??

    I have also sold a DVD on Amazon today for £12.. My total profits on Amazon are over £30 just for this week.. I think I will be listing a few more things on Amazon this weekend..

    Glorious weather out here.. BBQ will make its first appearance this weekend!!

    Cheers
