I spent several hours preparing a presentation for a meeting this afternoon (I only found out I was on the agenda late on Thursday)... the meeting was cancelled 12 minutes before it was due to start due to a clash :mad:

Particularly good heuvos rancheros for dinner tonight. Mr MWC said it was down to the (his) cooking, I said it was the quality of the ingredients!

Ebay update:
9 items will sell for £9.21
All items have watchers
One dress has 10 watchers and a swimsuit has 7 - unbelievable!!!

I had the mid-month MFW blues this morning until I realised that although the mortgage further advance is ~£68,500, we have:

~£50,000 in cash ISAs
~£8,000 in Flex Direct or regular saver accounts
~£5,500 in the holiday savings acccount
~£5,000 in 3-year e-bonds that mature in September

Not so blue now :rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks Tilly

I conveniently forgot about the ~£88,500 we owe on the IO original mortgage :rotfl:

However, we do have a S&S ISA/equity plan in place for that + shares + cash in a sharesave plan :cool:

A Boden dress exactly the same as one of my items sold yesterday for £21.69 :eek: I'm hoping that the unsuccessful bidders find my listing as mine is currently at £1.24 :rotfl:

Eggs IN 8 :T
Eggs OUT 12 (2 boxes sold for £3)

Plants IN 17

5 x Tithonia rotundifolia "seedlings" from my Sarah Raven order - I'm disappointed with these as I paid full price for them and they are tall and straggly and limp as they were bone dry

I'm much happier with the other 12 - named streptocarpus plug plants in excellent condition from Dibleys :T

Pork chops with roasted vegetables for dinner

I need some advice from the ebay experts please...

I've been asked if I have a Buy It Now price for 2 pairs of trousers I have listed. So obviously I haven't had any bids yet for them but I have 7 watchers on 1 pair and 10 watchers on the other. There are 2 days and 10 hours left. Should I add a BIN price or should I leave it as an auction? What would you do? And how much would you pay for BNWT and BNWOT items that originally cost £20?

I'm rather hoping that someone makes a 99p bid and then I don't have to make a decision :rotfl:

Thanks,
MWC x

PS up to £40.02 :cool:
