    I bought a phone for my friend on ebay £23 (stupid I know, instead of hanging on to my own money) ( thats another thing to sort....learn to say no more often) and it has arrived today.......so i will be £23 richer this week :j, ( I hope) money is so tight until next pay day. I am going to have to have some brilliant idea's......sure my new found friends will chip in too.

    I have my ipod and ipod dock/speakers and my sat nav that may well have to go into hock ? but in they will go.

    yes must do some ebay stuff. I have heard its amazing what sells. I have just set up a paypal account, so first step taken. Roughly how much does it cost to list something, as money is tight for the next 2 weeks.

    I will go through the motions and see how much it is going to cost, if its not to much as my money is sparse, I will give it it try.

    Advert gone in the post office £1 for 4 weeks

    I have had no work from my by flexi bank work for weeks, (hence the post office ad) They have just rang me and asked if I can do some work next week and the week after :j. Scary things going too well, or is finally my turn to have the "gods" shine down on me, or just coincidence ? whatever it is "keep it coming" It will all go pear shaped, it usually does.
