    I have a few things listed that are ending in a couple of days - I am so sad though, I'm forever checking the watchers and bids...I need to get out more:rotfl: I've listed a couple of bags of the girls' and one is on £21, the other on £14...it's very exciting!

    Good luck with yours - lots of bidding wars at the end for us hopefully:)
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Wow well done FC, thats fab money for a badge :T
    Tesco shopping has been delivered and put away, it came in at £68 this time :eek: although I did stock up on lots of cupboard stuff toget me to the £60 to get the peterol voucher, so I can go and fill up the car tomorrow.

    Other spends today = £3 on lunch :o and £8 for ds, he wanted to spend some of his christmas money on a new football (2 for £5) and new football boots which were £10 online, but when we got to the shop the only ones they had in his size were £15, so I put the extra towards them, and also got him a watch for £3.

    Plan for the rest of this evening is a hot bath, a matched bet and listening to ds do his reading and no doubt checking ebay several times too ;) Postie brought me another couple of responses for dads memory bos today too so thats starting to come together nicely too :)
