I vary the length of lists but try to make sure they finish on a Friday or Sunday night. Sunday's are great as people look at things in the morning when they're in bed, then we finish the lists around 8.30 thinking other people's kids are bathed and in bed and mums may have a quick look at what they've seen earlier!
That's my theory anyway!
Good stuff
Not listed stuff for ages but the New Year clearouts have begun
PS Mort dropped below the £100,000 today now all the DDs are processed!0 -

I have a deal with Mrs SJ that she can gave the PayPal account monies to spend however she want. It works well as she doesn't need to dip into monthly money for clothes. So, we view it as free money. In the main its kids and her clothes we sell.
Yeah us men can make clothes last a lifetime

Easy, £2.80 under 1kg, so add a few pence on for buying a packet (I get 100 for £3.89). Anything then between 1&2kg I put at £3.50.MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0

Frayed, its not a riveting read!!

I've also done some broadband research as our package is up this month. I'll be back later to relay info so people can throw their opinions into the mix - I'm torn!MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0 -
