    Nice job Kec - it looks yummy. :D

    Savvy - I hope they sell Ok. It would be great if you let us know how you get on - I have quite a few unread ones too. I used to get carried away when I went into WHS. LOL.

    Dingdong - how are you doing hun?

    Hi Elysia I am fine thanks :) I sold a few things on ebay tonight so that is good. Will work out how much once posted items. Got stuff to relist though but was thinking on doing on a different day or is sunday really the best for them to end???
    How are you ?

    I'm fine. Thank you for asking. :)

    Sunday after 6pm is noted for being the best time for listings to end, but if you can't manage that, from 6pm on any day will do. :)

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    not had many surveys this week end but I did get one for 10,000 points from looney. I got to the end but it didn't take me back to the looney site as usual so I hope it goes through. will be contacting them if it doesn't!

    it was OH's birthday yesterday - he loved his kindle, in fact he hasn't put it down all week end! I didn't realise though that it would automatically be linked to my amazon account so of course everytime he buys a book it uses my vouchers. I have changed my account to his name and e mail and created a new account in my name. I had about £20 of vouchers so he will use them and give me cash. I will use this towards ds school trip.

    hope everyone has had a good week end!

    Over £30.00 made at car boot sale today which I was pleased with as I didnt have any high value stuff and the highest priced item was £2.00. It was unusually quiet but I think the weather Forecast put people off but it was absolutely glorious to the point I was worried about getting burned.

    Craft stuff at local village market tomorrow. I dont take a lot but every little helps and the table only costs £2.00. Just checked surveys but screened out of everything.

    You did better than us, got up today 6am, there was cars already at the school, - the heavens opened at 730am, everyone was leaving, back home by 8.30, made grand sum £1.50...... unfortunately it was Miss Hoodies stuff ....

    Morning all, hoping today will be a bit better than yesterday. My Eb items didnt sell, have two tonight and no bids on them either, wondering whether its the time of the month when people are more hard up than others lol. Unless everyone was glued to the Grand Prix, wasnt it just brilliant! Well worth waiting for with all the rain.

    No surveys this morning either yet, might get some later on though.

    I watched it off and on - more off than on though lol. I thought at the end where Button overtook, that he'd come off, and was out of it - I was only listening. Just need Murray to win the tennis now :)

    I think it was because lots of people list on a free weekend and people get the pick of the bunch. Hopefully they'll do well when you re-list them Rufus. I was suprised more of my stuff didn't go either. I sold 8 out of 18.

    Hi everyone

    rufus - i watched the gp, fancy getting pipped on the last bit ...hahaha nice to see lewis in clip celebrating. especially after being taken out.

    bunbun - i was saving for a kindle but OH treated me on friday, i got him one for xmas. They`re fab and when i go on holidays my case wont be so heavy because i usually take 6 books, a ds, a notebook. and all my other toys and usually suffer with less clothes.....lol

    mum2one - oh no, i just posted on sister site, hoping booty wasnt a wash out. Good for miss hoodie though...lol

    I havent been doing any surveys or crafting these last couple of weeks, bt friend asked to see if i had any cards and I showed her the ones I been doing and she bought the lot. Not so mch the profits, but now I have some spare cash to buy some more supplies. (Want some christmas things)

    And on a positive note, I got a cheque for £50 from new vista which it took a year to get and i completely forgot about.

    Kec - mmmm i`m on a diet, my mouth is watering arrrrgggg...lol
