    We are just outside Elgin in North East Scotland. We had an enquiry yesterday for a chocolate party. They asked where Elgin was as they are in Bristol!!! I did suggest they could come up for the weekend.

    Good news from me. I got 2 cheques today totalling £58 for expenses. Plus I went to my first stop smoking clinic tonight and am starting on Zyban on Saturday. I will add the money that I save from not smoking (when I stop!) plus I've got the incentive of £400 from my dad when I do finally stop.

    :T Well done to those who've had success this week so far.

    I'm thinking I may have put too high starting prices on some of my items now :( Am loath to change them though. think I migh tbreak up some of the bundles if they don't sell though. Will keep trying!

    Does anyone have experience of Ebay over Easter? Is it really quiet or quite busy as quite a few people are off work etc?

    Moxie - good luck with the giving up smoking - let us know how the Zyban goes (is that the one you can't drink or you die (!!) one?).

    I've managed to cut my smoking right back too :T You are in control and the craving and moody feeling will go away whereas the health and financial problems wont :p That's what I'm telling myself anyway :rotfl:

    I really want to have a go at a table top sale on Sat taking place at a local hall but the phone no. has been engaged 4 ages and I want to book a table (seven pounds). I was hoping to sell all the clothes and crap that hasn't sold on ebay, but I was thinking of buying extra stuff in bulk to sell on but don't know what :confused:

    Any ideas? I think it's mainly going to be an older market (as in 70+ age range :rotfl: )
