  • Hey all
    MM - was it your birthday? Or do the peeps at work often give you cash? :rotfl:

    It's my birthday soon.... am beginning to regret the no wine ruling now :rolleyes:

    My eBay sales are doing quite well considering it has been quiet on there recently... but I stupidly forgot when I listed that they would end on Bank HOliday.. don't know if that will cause problems or not- it can go either way but if weather is good it could be bad news!
    Still... I'm up to £19.29 tonight... so I'm hoping by the time they end for maybe £40 out of that... so I'm quite pleased!
    Proud to be dealing with my debt!

    purple, i think its quite good timing cos alot of people will be at home monday so ur more likely to get more people bidding i think.

    does the no wine rule include a gin and tonic on your birthday?... :rolleyes:

    aha.... see I wasn't thinking clever enough - a G&T could be just the thing!! Plus if I don't even buy it myself then I haven't cheated at all :beer:

    £118.97 tonight for me!

    I thought auctions ending round bank holiday weekend would be good a lot of people sitting around bored they just have to bid!

    Happy Birthday you do realise it is against the law not to consume an alcholic beverage on your birthday don't you :p

    Auctions are at £131.08 so they are doing OK.

    I got my wages today but spent them at the dentist (claiming back on Westfield!) Hubby don't get paid until Tuesday he gets paid on the 28th of each month.

    Well done the end is in sight for you!
