    Just checked MB out on eb@y and I cannot believe the stuff that sells. I definitely have stuff just from hotels alone that I can sell. Whilst Mr T and I do love MB products, I will keep the favourites and I'm flogging the rest.

    Marvellous

    87p TT OP

    1 item is selling on eb@y although the other items have quite a few watchers - who knows how this will end up.

    Two items didn't make it on so they will have to wait until next FLW.

    Once S&S points are applied today/tomorrow I'll have another £10 voucher to claim.

    I am not doing any surveys at the moment so that's got to be fixed. Will need to get the lappy out in the evenings and get stuck in.
