    Well I've sold 2 more items overnight on BIN but the person hasn't paid yet. I've now changed all my listings to BIN with immediate payment. What's the point in BIN if you don't pay straight away :huh:

    I've also paid £90 to various places today.

    Morning everyone,

    Just having a cuppa :coffee: then trying to squeeze in 1 or 2 little things before the dratted work :o Am really starting to notice the commute again now - 2.5 hours if everything runs on time (round trip) it really is a huge chunk of time!

    Still it is tuesday and a nice long weekend is on the horizon :)

    Hope everyone has a good day :)

    Morning :) 2.5 hour commute is crazy long. I wouldn't enjoy that at all.

    Have a good day!

    Wow that reminds me of when I lived in London - spent more time getting to work than doing anything else. I feel for you.

    I too am looking forward to a 4 day weekend (we have to take the special bank holiday as 1/2 days annual leave but thats fine by me) :D

    Morning Jwil and friends

    I thought of doing some BIN over of the weekend but I dont really have that much stuff. I made £70 at a horsey car boot on the weekend which was good. :D
    Naturally I'll share it, I'm sure I'll be able to just about afford to chuck you a £5-er each :D;)

    Lol - thanks :rotfl:

    It's enough to buy a couple of lottery tickets - what more do you want? I'll only have £79 million after all :rolleyes: :D

    Well done on your car boot sale success though :T

    Well done on your lottery win! I've got my eye on tonight's £79 million Euromillions jackpot http://www.euro-millions.com/ after being one letter off the Euromillions Millionaire Raffle last week (so one letter off winning £1 million) I'm determined to win!

    Wow, that must have been gutting to be so close mj132, I'd have been checking my ticket over and over again to ensure I hadn't misread the letter. :rotfl:

    Good luck tonight, and if you do win £79 million, remember I'm your best friend :D:D:D

    I've just seen my dream job advertised :cool: I'd soooo love to do it.

    Sadly though, it's too far away and there's a language requirement too which I don't have. I might apply anyway though to see if I *could* get it. :think:

    I think it will be heavily oversubscribed though as jobs like that don't tend to come up too often.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I went on this morning to see if I'm a millionaire - nothing. :mad:

    Get to work, go into my emails again, and I've now got an email telling me I won the lottery :j :T :mad: :mad: :mad: though as I can't check it, arrggghh!

    So for all I know, I could be a £79 millionaire :rotfl:

    Woo! Jwil that is so exciting :D lets hope you,ve won the lot! I,ve not had chance to check it yet - i don,t post about any winnings though as i never win - maybe i,ll get it all in a big win too eh? Xx

    i was also keen to hear what your dream job would be.

    Lam - well done on your carboot sales x

    On my phone so apologies for the lack of smilies. Not been able to get any bunting yet for the jubilee celebrations - might have to do without bah!

    Hope everyone has a good day xx

    Thanks guys. Sadly I don't think it's anything exciting, I think I got 2 numbers and a star which is around £5. We can't get onto any 'gambling' sites at work, so I tried to look up the numbers on my phone at lunchtime. I'll have to wait til I get home to check properly though.

    I don't think the big one has been won though, so will have another go on Friday :) It would be nice if one of us got a good win!

    DDFW why not make your own bunting? Find some old fabric, or even cut up a newspaper or magazine! It will look funky and unusual!
