1 bid!!
I also managed to get my sleeping patterns back to normal so I promptly fell asleep when I got home from work and have recently woken up. Oops! I'm a bit jealous of those only just going back to work as well. Oh well I'm off to enjoy my pizza (may have just been delivered)

Well some of my items sold
So 3 have been paid for and posted. With some money left over in my budget I have now all the money for my part of my masters
I'm now starting a boiler fan fund as it is on the was out and I would rather have the money ready and waiting rather than having to scrabble around for it.
I was also thinking of putting my old ball dress (from my graduation ball) as it is now too big and I have no intention of being that size again!! Has anyone sold a dress like this before? Should I ebay it or sell it some other way? Also when do balls happen these days?Original MF Date = July 2034Current MF Date = July 2025

Hi Littlefred,
Well done on saving for your Masters :T
I have a Bridesmaids dress to sell and was thinking of ebay, just waiting until Spring as hope to catch wedding/prom season!
A thought on your boiler fan is it worth signing up to monthly boiler cover with one of the electric/gas providers at about £16 a month? If the fan goes in the next year it would get replaced for less than the £300 and you get a service included.0 -
I have a friend who is a plumber and does everything for me at mates rates so it ends up being more expensive for me. I do save some money each month for the boiler as my own insurance iyswim.
One of the other ebayers paid so I've posted that and then had a snooze as I'm currently doing an extra night shift to cover sickness so more overtime for me!
No snow here just rain and I'm glad as I hate the snow!!Original MF Date = July 2034Current MF Date = July 2025

All ebay parcels paid for and posted. I made it to the gym today as I only love 2 streets away along with about 2 other people:rotfl: I was offered transport to get to work so here I am and I'm just hoping they'll turn up in the morning to take me home! I just wish the snow would melt without going through the ice stage.Original MF Date = July 2034Current MF Date = July 2025
