    Yep I noticed that myself ... I rarely carry cash now ... I do love switching especially if it will give me a Tilly tidy :)

    I'm always torn, do I make my spreadsheet a rounded up number or my bank account balance a rounded up number, sometimes I can't decide so I make extra payments to various bills until I can decide. :o:p :rotfl:

    Isn't eBay constantly surprising.

    Some absolute tat sells well and other things that you were sure would fly, stay unsold...

    The car had its first service today, free care of the warranty thing we bought it with. Bar that, just a gentle day trying not to go wild in Tescos (& buy a non special offer brand of cornflakes)...

    Did you manage to get any free listings on ebay this weekend? or have you run out of stuff to sell? I
    I posted out loads of stuff today and it's barely made a dent in my hoard of [STRIKE]crap[/STRIKE] highly saleable stuff I've collected over the years. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi Tattycath. I relisted 4 things that didn't sell, but will have to search to see if I can find more. We've had several big clear outs before and given a lot to charity shops, so I'm untidy, rather than having that much stuff. I've started doing a bit of selling for others,which is fun.

    Good luck with yours. :-)

  • Hi TattyCath, I'm hoping they have a FLW in the next couple of weeks so I can get my next set of stuff on.

    Eb@y seems to be fairly lively at the moment.

    Good luck with your treasures

    Hmmmm. Having bought two very lovely treats for ourselves this month (considered and happy purchases), my grand total of "left over cash from last month's salary" to OP with, is £73..... I may be here some time....
