    I use loquax too but there are many competition sites. Mostly all the same. The comps board here is good as you can sort it in date of comp ending. Loquax you can do the same and when you thank the OP there it takes it off your search so you dont enter again which I wish they could do here :) I go through stages of entering a couple a day to then going whole hog and doing a couple of hours of comping a night.

    six ebay items sold in the end, sadly nothing for big money, and most for 99p, still it's out of my house and into theirs. Only two have paid so far. Why can't they pay straight away damn them! I want to get them parcelled up and gone.

    Better than them not selling though. It surprises me what does and doesn't go. I don't have much stuff left to list at the moment really. I have a single bed to sell but not sure how well it would do. Quite fancy it leaving my dining room though!

    I have a few bits that I can sell, but getting around to all of it is another matter.

    DD1 was cooking dinner earlier and couldn't get the gas ring working so I didn't cook dinner for myself and OH. Was going to text him to get chips on the way home. Then common sense hit me again (I don't know what it wrong with me), and I realised the gas ring was just because OH had cleaned them last night, and got one working. Made a lovely concoction of fried chicken (using left overs from yesterday) in a lemon oil with stir fried greens and potato dauphinois.

    Need to write a Dooyoo tonight and perhaps enter some more competitions.
