    Right back from the bank...we dressed up all business like just to emphasis the point we knew what we were talking about. And thanks to advice on here looks like the bill for £600 that they are saying we owe is going to be dropped. :j Silly bank. So it's been a good day!

    Thanks to all advice given! :D

    Right, the book thing will have to wait until next week I think because I have other things to sort in the meantime. But looks like I'll be back to ebay again. Ah well!

    :eek::eek::eek::eek: Really? Already!!!

    My best friend is 9 weeks pg, I'm so unbelievably excited for her.

    Twinkle, ace news - I know this is what you've been wanting for a while :D

    Re books: I only list higher value items on Amazon. I've got a load on GreenMetropolis but I haven't sold any since I started on the site just before New Year. The buyer pays £3.85 per book regardless of title or condition and the seller gets £3 but has to pay postage (about £1.20 for a standard sized paperback). The site lists the books in order of who listed their copy first so I'm probably still down the bottom. Because all prices are the same regardless of condition, it's not really worth listing books that aren't in top condition (who'd buy them).

    The moral of the story is don't buy books! :rotfl:

    Right all MS's done and dusted. I dare not take on any more because of going down to stay with DH...no internet except for my phone. :( I can still get on here but it's not enough for doing reports really. Boo.

    Right I need some opinions. I have been given 2 options for my birthday (not till July but it's the big 30). One, DH will sort out a trip to Cardiff to watch Wales Vs The Ba ba's....I'm a MASSIVE Welsh rugby fan (so in my element with the 6 nations on at the minute). Or, DH will but half the money up for an ipad (I love a gadget...and my laptop is 7 years old and bits aren't what they used to be - plus I use my school laptop for a lot of stuff now...which I shouldn't...oophs).

    Which is better...I just can't decide - I want both!!! :rotfl:

    personally I'd do the rugby as that'll be a memory you'll keep forever. IPads are still really expensive, why not hang on til the price comes down? Gawd, when did I get so old! :eek::rotfl:

    That's 2 for Cardiff...(got a poll on Fbook as well).

    I could do more edigi MS's if I had an Ipad...lol that's my other excuse. But yeah, they are very expensive. :(

    Right, told DH I want to go to Cardiff for my 30th then...fingers crossed it sinks in. I doubt it though. :(

    I feel like I've been naughty having not posted for a week...I've been following other threads though. Anyway today has been a good MS day. Made £6 in surveys and £12 or £16 (can't remember which) in MS's. Yey me! Not bad considering I only got home at 6pm.

    Anyway time to do some school work now I reckon...boo. :(

  • How is your voice, honey, did you go back to work? I have totally lost mine, which reminded me.

    Yeah mines back now...but not as strong as it was so I'm being very VERY careful with the talking. There have been a couple of unplanned student led tasks because I've been a bit paranoid...but needs must.

    I'm going to see my preggers bessie tomorrow after work - going out for tea! :D Can't wait. I miss her loads. :(
