    Well done on the graduation Ruby.

    Here was me thinking the thread had been deathly quiet the last few days!

    Had a good night last night, received two offers on two different bits of software on ebay. Took one offer of £235 on a bit up for £275, refused the other of £125 on a bit up for £195. Then within an hour I'd received an offer from someone else of £175 for that one which I took, so a very productive night all around! Between those two it almost balances out the insurance bill, so I'm back to being hopeful we'll have made at least a little headway this month. If we could get to £55 a day average I'd be satisfied, above £75 a day and I'd actually be happy (even though we'd not be at date night level).

    hoping for another ebay free listing weekend this weekend, have quite a few listings lined up ready to go if they do, and a big bucket of other things to list, which I will try to get a few of listed tomorrow evening. Amazon has about £55 ready to disperse at the moment too, and I'm hopeful of getting a few more sales in the next few weeks given almost everything is new and we're running up to Christmas.

  • Yay good stuff dinah :) glad the bp is looking better too.

    Do I remember you having a hd flip camcorder? Think maybe cinny had one too? Seen them on black Friday and tempted for bfs Xmas present if down to a reasonable price.

    Congrats on the graduation ruby! Hope you get your money sorted.

    I've got a finish date at work Eep, bit scary but I feel happy with the decision. South America here I come!

    Very exciting Archers, I'm jealous. Are you going on your own or in a group? When do you go?

    I got one off Amazon Vine, it didn't work though!

    Your debt still seems to be coming down well CMD, even with the move and the commute. It seems like only a few weeks ago it was at £16k+.

    Thanks Dinah, it's at a standstill at the moment. We have a mortgage meeting tomorrow and depending on how that goes we will be ploughing everything into savings and then concentrating on the debt when we get a mortgage. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

    Thanks Shrimpy, but I don't quite understand, it doesn't have a website name on that post?

    Sorry Dinah, it was Amazon, there was a link in the post. I was being lazy and linking to the post instead of explaining it myself! It made sense as I was reading the £10 a day thread but not so much out of context I guess!

    Congrats on the graduation Ruby!

    Hadn't heard about Angie Dowds, how sad.

    The thread has been quiet lately hasn't it? Could it be because Birdie's away? ;)

    Not half, I'm like the walking dead. I'm starting to see how people can become so sociopathic they end up going on a rampage! (I wouldn't get the threadies though :))

    Just popping in to see if you've seen the 20% off at Urban Outfitters til 8am tomorrow? Lots of Christmas gifty things, though std delivery is a fiver if spending under £75. I've mostly only seen presents for moi though :o

    Congrats Archers, Dylan is a lovely name :T

    You're a cheeky toe-rag Shrimpy! And it's completely not true that I'm a chatterbox! ;) Back at work tomorrow so normal service shall return! :)

    Glad to see you popping in Tete, miss you! Is there light at the end of the work tunnel?

    When are you off on your adventures Achers? So cool! :)

    For any people wanting to see pictures of the presents I've been banging on about you can see my record bowls here and my Kindle covers here :D
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
