    Up to £66 on eb@y :T

    I am SO looking forward to having more space in my garage, just think how many loo rolls I can stockpile :j

    Night, Tilly x x

    Edited to add: £78 now in a couple of minutes - how exciting.

    Apologies for getting this excited, I should probably try some calming pre retirement activities :):)

    Eb@y has finished and £147 made. Need to deduct fees buts its been a big help towards the OPs, plus we will gain loads of space in the garage :T

    I have finally sorted out all the MB stuff to sell. Quite a few bits and pieces picked up from hotels, (thanks kind employer), plus the freebies from H&G magazine, (thanks to Natty), along with some free gifts from BodyShop.

    Next wave of eb@y sales will be gaming stuff, consoles and games. No clue yet how well they sell but fingers crossed they'll go.

    We've all loved clearing out this stuff and I can actually see a little space appearing :)

    Mr T and I have spent a few hours in the back garden tidying up ready for Spring. Looks better but still more to do.

    We also have a spendy day tomorrow. We need to buy a new lawn mower. Current one has been repaired more times than I care to remember.

    Have a good Saturday.

    Best wishes Tilly
