    Fishface - if your ebaying you could list items on the 4th of July for 10 days as they will then end on the 14th and clear after the start time.


    Just a little reminder that if you list tonight or tomorrow night for 10 days, the finish will be at the start of the challenge :D

    i was thinking of using all the change i collect in a jar in this challenge. does anyone have any views on me including £2 coins?

    i collect these as part of another thread and would spend them usually, but don't want to include them if people don't think i should?

    Ebay (add the code "mseolympicchallenge" in white if you wish so other challengers can find your items!)

    I'm probably being dull but where do you add the code? Just about to put stuff on!
