Yep am thinking the same, esp with the offer he came back to me with !!! £20 del. and i know for a fact they sell for at least £35 & p&p on top and it's brand new! I'd rather it go for less on the auction and take that chance.... (i think lol) xxEmergency Fund goal - £717.77/1500

Really hope that the car passes - one less thing to worry about. Sounds like you should have some money coming in with ebay and fb - all good for holiday funds - exactly what i am doing - so far this week i am up to £85 from fb and hopefully another £10 once lady gets in touch! Only actually got about £23 so far but hoping by end of weekend all bar 1 thing will be gone Me, DD1 20, DS 18, DD2 15, Debt Free 04/18, Single Mum since 11/190
