301k in debt and morbidly obese - things aren't great!

Found the listing for the Oric. Brings-back some memories. We had one of these at School for teaching programing (along with an Acorn Atom and 2 BBC model 'A's).
You should get a nice amount of bids as you are the only one showing the item actually hooked-up and working.

Last day of the un-holiday and a week today we make the joyful drive to the airport to deposit MIL back to where she belongs. I'm looking at everything now and thinking whether I could list it or not. At this rate I'll soon have nothing to play shed tetris with. Hope the sun remains out for everyone today.

I'm surprised you haven't listed the MIL on ebay (non-returnable option..?)

Would be interested to hear what the atari goes for as we have one amongst loads of other boot sale contenders in the loft.

Think there are about six games but one of the controllers is a bit dodgy.

I wouldn't have the foggiest where to start on ebay:D

My OH once came down the stairs and i said 'guess what i've just sold?' 'I dunno' he said 'The house'?:rotfl:the more you sell, the more you realise you can sell.

i recently bought some books to read from a charity shop and they happened to each have a bookmark in which i sold for a few quid!

Been a mental couple of days back at work, although I must say the house guest has improved her attitude tremendously. Regular readers may remember the saga of the 4 colour biro that kinda haunted my daily life for a while - well, this evening my daughter asked for a teddy from the top shelf of her room, and as I brought it down, the pen came down as well. How it got up there (6ft up the wall) I shall never know - but I believe it was a sign. Not sure what the sign meant - but I'm hoping it was from Adam Ant.

Spooky goings on Chez Bloater! Must mean your luck is about to change?!! Bring on some good times

p.s. Please don't sell the Adam Ant hat to anyone from Lancaster, I fear my hubby is hankering after it, thanks, Northern Lassy :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The Return of The Biro! Let the good times roll! :T:T:T

They sell them near me... but buying them doesn't count, does it? I get the impression they have to come serendipitously.

How did Adam do? Don't leave us in suspense.....I don't want to have to creep round ebay looking for him!
Keep focused Mr B.....
Personally I'm thinking pot kettle black...must stay focused myself!

Gutted. Adam let me down bigtime. 6 watchers - probably all of whom were from here, and 0 bids. Really thought I'd hit the big time but have come crashing back down to earth.
