    Ebay turned out quiet good made about £40 profit after fees so a little more to go to Lloyds. I still have one item to finish which i am hoping will get me £150ish, this will be DH birthday present as im taking him to London for 2 nights and thought it would be nice if he could treat himself while we are there. Dont tell him but the item I am selling is his anyway I just dont think he will realise as too busy with work at the moment.LOL
    Pay day coming up on Friday no sign of the bonus hitting this month so it should be in March which is a shame as I was going to use it to cover the trip to london.
    Never mind so long as I cover minimums and a bit more hopefully about £500 I will be happy, it just this year has had a lot of expenses or we are starting to live a little and i forgot that costs money

    No he never uses it, it will be fine it just means he will be paying for his own birthday present LOL.

    Hi C yes we are starting to have a little fun now but I am struggling with parting with my cash you will get there too.

    Love that idea HWG, did the same thing last week, put a present i bought OH years ago on there, and made £30 on it. Not anything near your fantastic amount, but something he will never use, I did tell him though and money accruing is half for debt and half towards significant birthday treat this year for him.

    And to top it all it helps to clear out the clutter from both houses! We are hoping to move at some point so starting early......

    Have a good sunday all Dolly x ;)

    Fab result HWG,

    Grey and overcast but really mild here, lovely sunny day yesterday, hope the snow is not too bad, looks lovely but causes chaos.
