    Lovely thanks Ed. Popping over to you in a mo to find out how your how your weekend away went.
    Down £83 l £ dl. However paid in £150 plus ebay profit.
  • Well done on the selling. Very few items in our house worth that much! Really sympathise about the work thing. We have a couple of resignations just put in and already the jostling for promotion has begun. Talk about jumping into people's shoes...... Hope this week is better.
