    WOW! The biker boots sold for more than I imagined! I was expecting £40 going by the other auctions on fee-bay, but my final total was £52.00!

    ive been reading through your diary, your commitment to getting rid of your debts is amazing, im so glad you got that much for the boots. I really should get some things listed on ebay. It sounds like its about time you had some good luck.

    Thanks alot, lunar. I've said it before and I'll say it again now, it is comments like theese which help me keep going. Isn't MSE such a wonderful website? The support and encouragement shown on theese forums is nothing short of amazing. Thanks again hon and good luck with your ebaying!

    I know! I was refreshing the auction on my sisters laptop, one minute it was £26, the next it was £42 then jumped to £52. Every time this happened I gasped and grabbed my mouth and my sister shouted "How much now?!"

    Thanks Pania, I'm still a heck of a way from geting this electricity bill cleared but I'm plugging away at it. There might be a chance of me getting to a car boot sale this sunday, so fingers crossed on that one. And if I don't make enough to clear the electricity bill, hopefully I'll have made enough to clear the gass bill. I've got the fighting spirit back in me at last!
    And thanks for wishing us well with my mum and sisters situation xx
