    Thank You!!! _party_
    Only just seen this as I've been to town spending my birthday money :D
    I was so good- I didn't go a penny over the gift money I had (normally I'd use it as an excuse to splurge) and got a couple of nice tops at bargain price in Oasis YAY!

    Is it to early for the G&T do you think :confused: :j

    Your auctions are doing really well Rayday!!!

    My payday was last monday so I still feel a bit flush, but hubby gets paid weekly so his is today- lots of nice overtime for him this week!

    My auctions have slowed a bit now, but I'm hoping for a big push on Monday - loads of watchers on some of them!

    I think these days you can gauge how well your auctions are doing by the number of watchers.

    Well you could have a G&T as a toast to your mum for all the pushing then a birthday one later lol ;)

    Im really glad everyone seems to be doing well with the challenge, my items are up to £73 so far. there seems to be qiute a few watchers for most of the items so im hoping for a bidding war to start soon!

    if this lot goes for £100 i should be on target to meeting the challenge before the end. got to put some more items on over the weekend.

    Hope you are all having a good friday night.
