    You have to go to a test centre, pretend to do a test but actually start stripping off and then wait to see if the staff members come in to try and stop you. It's a lot of fun. ;)

    Have PM'd you.

    Ha ha, thanks for letting me know. The PM'd version was almost as excruciating as stripping off would be for me, speaking as an ex-exam invigilator! :D

    Buy a small milk, go outside and bite tiny hole in it. Go back in store and say its leaking. They never look twice and just let me go get a new one. Easy peasy.

    With the esa job, are the eggs and milk on top of the fee or included?

    Lol, schoolgirl error! eBay it is then.... Thank you

    Pet, don't put it on now as all the other BARE shoppers have put theirs on and it will probably not go for anywhere near the actual price you paid. About 2 weeks ago, there were only 6 of them "items" on eBay and now there are !!!!!! loads!

    This is really weird, but I just picked up a ladies clothes shop on RE. I'm not a lady, so why I saw it in the first place is beyond me (would love to do torso shop, but I got told those are for ladies only and I have never seen any of them online). They want me to check the fitting rooms too, now that's gonna be fun. LOL.

    Included. Recently changed it. We use to get a spending allowance on top of the fee which more than covered it but alasn the good times have gone :(

    I did one last round. Got a sandwich, did a dramatic performance and said it was off. Got a refund, so I didn't spend as much which made the fee slightly more. Mind you, the refund/replace bit is a bit embarrassing. It's a right giveaway and then all the assistants crowd around you and ask if you are OK etc etc. LOL.

    Good thinking Batman! I had a look on eBay this afternoon, and yes, there are loads of items on there, but they all had lots of bids! I could keep it for a present.

    That said, I am just about to browse the website, something might take my fancy! I have been soo well behaved since my light bulb moment - I no longer feel compelled to shop and fritter money away, let's hope I don't have a relapse!

    After a couple of months, I think I'm going to retire from GAP too, at the end of next month I should have quite a hefty sum coming to me (in GAP terms anyway) but boy I had to eat a lot of junk to get it! I may be eating my way out of debt, but into an early grave!

    Put it on when they have a free listing weekend, that way you can start off with a figure you are happy with, and one bid and it's all good. I managed to sell mine for £5 less than the price I paid for it, so was kinda happy. Better than nothing eh?
