    I keep chipping away at Mr usa1 to cancel TV licence , as we never watch TV. The TV is only used for x-box gaming. He was not keen to cancelling the DD as this is a tax and might make us prone to licencing bullies.. Slowly, chip. chip, chip. I think I am winning on this one ladies..

    Redeemed £25.00 Cheque from Opinium Research panel .

    Downside;
    Dishwasher died, so had to be replaced
    No bids on eBay. (Is it a bit slow on there or is just me?)
