Booked to do a car boot tomorrow, so only on this quickly before I go and see what I need to put in car tomorrow AM. It's an indoor one and think it's starting tomorrow, this is second one I've done so will see what's to take with us.
Due to this site I've been informed that the bond I was paying into, isn't going to be very succesful and am in process of reclaiming - did ask opinions before but don't think anyone said anything for / against. So if it's ok I'll put that money towards it as I wouldn't have thought about asking to cash it in before I noticed people complaining about it on this site. I'd upgrade if it's ok to include that.
Supposed to get my gate money back for helping out with a charity event a few weeks ago and should get the gate money for that this week and some vouchers are on their way to me within the month.
Bought a camera for my parents for their birthdays / Christmas presents as they're going away for a 6 week holiday and their camera had seen better days - so saved £20 on that and got a pair of trainers for 1/2 price too - mine are 6 years old so needed a new pair. So technically off the mark.
Good luck to all0 -

Hello there, I got off the mark yesterday, bought some Christmas presents in the sale, saving £19.87 on those, also had a Tesco shop delivered with a £10 deduction so my total stands at £29.87, a good start methinks, but am on holiday for two weeks from tomorrow so will have to pull out the stops when I get back. Good luck to you all!If it seems too good to be true, it probably is, unless its from this forum!0

I've only got bids on two of my items, but I didn't list them til Thurs/Fri, so I've got a way to go yet..... I didn't do this challenge before, so I really wanna do well. NOT a good start!

My buyer is paying by cheque so that saves Paypal fees
Also got £17.05 on a no risk game. Got an old phone looked out but will offer that round work first, see if I can avoid the ebay/amazon scammers. Matched betting is slow just now but football will start soon enough.
Not a bad start.OD Girls On TourBarcelona 2008 - Dublin 20090 -
Woohoo, I just got my first bit of money to add to the total. £5.00 down, £995.00 to go!0

Thanks for the luck - but didn't do very well - no one did - very badly organised, their first one with absolutely no signs, think there was around 50 people in all through doors!
But, when I was packing up, I noticed that someone was selling some games and when I went to have a closer look realised it was the limited edition I had been trying to get for 3+ years and he brought the price down too - so got a game which should've been £20 then and can't be bought now for £3 and its still sealed! So at least it was worth getting up so early! Was so tempted to go and buy the My Little Pony's but thought better not and try and find mine to sell.
If I'm not allowed to put in the claim for the bond back I'll stick to bronze, was going to upgrade to 1 less than I'm supposed to get back but will stick to bronze then.0
