    Try Gumtree for your bike sale. You get a few messers but we generally have good luck with what we sell on it. Also try your local Facebook page my colleagues have great success on selling everything from kids clothes to fridges! eBay commission is so high now it's a joke.
    Good luck x

    I'm sorry you're not getting your course Kat. Just think, you're so close to the adventure of a lifetime, who needs a smelly old course?

    Does the cat know about your plans?

    Haha Peaty!!! You made me chuckle! The course is a £3000 financial investigators course. Something I could take away with me and apply to any environment and work independently... I could pay for it myself but having the name of my current corporation attached to it would mean more £££. However, I have not had a definitive no yet.................she says...

    Moggy is oblivious. Have you see the cat cage I have bought her - EPIC!!!

    Lashie good call with Gumtree. Gonna get the bike out and have a whizz along my roads and make sure it's all ok. I would love to avoid eBay and will advertise it at work as well!

    Hello LuckyStarr... thank you for posting! Yes sometimes I catch myself and wonder what the hell I am doing! Only this morning when I finished work ( Haha AppleMuncher your like my MSE Mum:T) it was crisp, a little foggy but very bright. I wondered what it will be like to be up at 0700 in a beach hut and make my way for a fresh fruit breakfast and a trip on the Thai-Burma Death Railway..(last nights research) and realise I am making the right choice it will just take time to sink in....

    I am currently attempting to create a blog so you can all follow if you wish!:T:T:T

    That's a very big cat carrier.

    You're going on a death railway? I'm just used to a regular rattly train. 3.80 for a return..
