    OH had a small operation on Monday to remove 3 moles on his forehead and has 2 bit cuts on his forehead. He stayed at mine 1st night as he was in a lot of pain but went home yesterday. However he has lot of swelling under his eyes. Looks like he has been beaten up. Any ideas anyone to reduce the swelling?

    I have been doing ebay since 2002 and do quite well. My top tips are list at fixed price for 30 days and every week review and drop price if necessary. In the last month I have sold £155.00 worth and thats all things hanging around upstairs. I am now starting on excess Boots Gift sets as this is best time to sell. HTH
    Also DD wants to avoid going back to work yet with baby only being 5 months so she goes to car boot and charity shops looking for designer baby clothes and has done quite well so far.
    Thanks rose, I hadn't thought about doing fixed price listing, I've always just done 7 or 10 day auctions. I'll give your method a try :)

    .... and very nice they are too says Susie who doesn't even like fish but can manage a battered one with chips and beetroot and the vinegar from the beetroot lol.

    Just had one of Morissons s doughnuts for my breakfast ( one and a spare half actually ) and they are delicious. 5 for 50p atm. I would say they are the nicest of all the supermarket ones :)

    Good Morning all :)

    My sister wants to go on a spa break with her friend, does anyone know of any good deals i can look at please?

    Look for a hotel with spa attached. Probably work out a lot cheaper than a dedicated spa.
    I have been on that one... the top bar confused me.

    I am now on this one

    Some tables show return flights and some single journey.

    What is the route you are looking at?

    Arnica for bruising.

    I've sent parcels with stamps as part payment of postage - they just deduct it from what's due and put a sticker on for the rest.

    I don't do sealed pots but I do keep all the £2 and 50p with special designs, I don't spend those. Got a Peter Rabbit 50p yesterday.
    I do this too!! I have got some lovely ones....no peter rabbit yet, but lots of the different Olympic games ones.
