    Good luck with the sales benben and tigz - try not to take the reference too much to heart - the new employer obviously wants you or you wouldn't have the job! Lots of reasons old employers don't always give the highest recommendation and many of them nothing to do with the employee!

    Today has been a nice day, we went to the post office and posted the ebay parcel (2.49 postage and 75p for the mail bag), then bought some food bits (3.50) ... other than that I haven't spent any money today :D

    We came home and made some fairy cakes and rock buns then took some round to mums as I had to help her move some more boxes. I'm gonna get the wii on ebay tomorrow after my lunch date ;)

    I did the Lotto24 offer on wuidco earlier, it hasn't tracked yet but hopefully it will soon :D

    Have you listed it yet? Good luck with it.

    My last day here... thank god!! My boss didn't give me a glowing reference so I'm feeling a little hurt and let down. :mad: I can't say anything tho as I'm not meant to have seen it... :o Thankfully my new employer doesn't seem to have a problem with it, although it does make me out to me not very good :mad:

    The most glowing references are reserved for people we really *really* want to get rid of...

    Not yet Hypno, I've just posted on the ebay board for advice re postage, then I will get it on there later tonight or in the morning. I think I will probably go for a 24 hour listing??

    I think EVERYONE will be beating me in this challenge - I see Mizmir is selling well on ebay too!!

    But I am just happy that even if things stay as they are, I might be £25 better off than I was a week ago, and if made that extra every week, I would have raised £1200 in a year, just from "stuff"!!

    Makes all those 99ps worth the effort doesn't it!!
