I didn't win at the bingo either - got blinking close though.... only needed one number for the jackpot - hey ho... another offer another day I'm sure!!
My paperclips are doing well - just sold another 4 to one person who wants to 'start a paperclip hire business' on his works notice board!! Also put some door hangers on and sold one...
Will post an update of everyones totals tomorrow - remember to make sure that your sigs are up to date as thats what I'm going by!!!

Well all of my Ebay items have finished and the items that didn't cost me anything (prizes and gifts) came to £57. I've taken all of the fees and Paypal stuff off and it came to just over £50 so I'm going to count an extra £50 towards my total.
I have listed all of the items that I found in charity shops and my freebies from my boyfriend's house too so I'm hoping they will sell well too.0 -

I was wondering when you'd come out the closet. I was buyer no 2.
I love this thread and will keep a close eye on it.
As I provided one of your £1.00 do I get a share of the £1024:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:0 -
thats an amazing total
I'm sure that come 4th December the 20 of us will all have passed the £1000 mark
I wouldn't have had Tinkerbell's nerve and knowing my luck would have lost the lot
Hopefully the lovely ebay bidders take pity and buy all the conkers (theres plenty more for listing!)
Does anyone know why Boots vouchers get nearly their face value?
My free pigsback one is already at £3.20 which is stupid as its only been on for 7 hoursDebt of £6300 cleared in 5 years, now ZERO0
