    I know! That's what I was thinking!

    Still I made £43 profit on what I paid for it 3 years ago! And as were super skint at the moment then I shan't complain!

    Will be happier when the guy pays though ... don't people realise it's Buy It Now not Buy Now Pay Later! :rotfl:

    I have decided that today is a declutter day. I am still undecided about how to sell my stuff (ie. ornaments, things which don't appear to have much immediate value). I am thinking of maybe going to a car boot sale and then ebaying the rest? Or even giving up and giving them to charity?
