He's staying in the hospital overnight, op went fine and they gave him morphine but when they were getting him up to get him moving he passed out from pain and well if he came out to his parents like they'd planned when the morphine ran out about midnight he'd be horrific.

I knew it would be bad, he's never been good with pain and for the past 2 years he's had constant pain in that area but it must be awful hopefully this will be the last he has.

Just want to wrap him up and take it all away.

Glad the op went ok sending ((hugs))

Good news about the op falen, not about the pain but the nurses will take care of him. He will be home before you know it ready to be fed up and waited on hand and foot

Yep we're in the same boat, mine got laid off a couple of months ago and luckily found work within a week but we're £800 a month worse off!! I'm really wondering what we were doing with that extra money now I have been working lots of overtime and we're getting by lovely but am going to tackle the 3 grand overdraught next year now instead so have lowered the amount i'm going to try and pay by xmas, good luck x

Thanks - good luck to you too x

Try anything and everything! it really is amazing what people will buy, and though alot of people moan about the time compared to when soemthing sells for 99p . . those 99p's add up. I removed £210 fro paypal last week and have another £125 in there again :eek: £29 is ebay fee money so another £96 for my pocket

Weird things ive sold: empty perfume bottles, stupid nicnac games bought for DH when the buyer didnt know what to get him , a bag full of used flower arranging foliage given to me by my nana, 2 wii controller wrist bands , 2nd hand bras (always to be delivered to a bloke, every time)

Weird things ive heard others have sold: half used make up, half used perfume, really really used shoes (sorry couldnt make myself do this, mine go in the bin when they get manky), tights with holes :eek:

So I dont chuck anything (well apart from the manky shoes/knickers/tights) in the bin without a try on ebay first

EDIT: oh and if you have something to post thats over 1kg, under 2kg and relatively thin (can fit in a jiffy bag) look at collect+ as they charge £3.99 as apposed to royal mails £4.41 standard parcels £4.90 first class :eek: and if oyu go through parcel2go's website they do a 5% discount voucher on their facebook page, making it £3.87 (paying via paypal)

Thanks for this :T. I have copied this info to an 'ebay hints and tips' document (how organised am I?!) which I will use when I have time to go thru my cupboards . I have found two pairs of jeans that can be sold - one of mine and one of DS1's so that can be a start and I'm sure we've got an old, dodgy x-box that could be sold .

1200 items! you'd have a field day at our place. I may need your services as we really don't have room for everything. I would say no idea how it fit in our two bedrooms but I know exactly how it fitted in mine, in many cupboards and all over the floor. Just waiting for the day my parents realise my electric keyboard is still in their loft

worst thing is it was all our own [STRIKE]carp[/STRIKE] hidden treasures . DH said I should have gone into house clearance as I am totally ruthless when it comes to clearouts :rotfl: you'd have nothing left when I was done :rotfl:

honestly I threw out so much when moving, probably could have made a fortune but I didn't have the time so it went to the tip or the charity shop. please to say 6 sacks worth at least went to charity but if some one wanted a 1997 Boyzone tour ticket stub and program more fool them :P.

Had fun playing a free online game called Tribes Ascend (kind of like Halo but flying round on jet packs and only the multiplayer bit and PC only) but I've come off as I'm terrified I'll miss the inLaws calling.
