    Forgot to add, I sent off some ink cartridges for recycling which will hopefully give me £18, but payment will take up to a month to clear if they are checked and accepted.

    It's a nice little pile out of the house too.

    hello I did wonder why you were on so early :rotfl:

    I been mentioning since May here and there lol we have to move. Landlord is selling the house, and will offer to let us buy but I refuse as there is far too much wrong with that needs fixing and I personally would like to move away from this area. Every week we are in local news for fights, stabbings and more in the area where I live. I literally walk down the road and there are gang fights etc.
    I saw you mentioning it in passing - thought it was a vague wish. Sounds like where I live as well :o so i really hope you find somewhere lovely to live soon as poss.

    Hi newbie here, I would like to join this challenge if I can. I'm going to try for £10 a day ��
    I've added you to the list of challengers - post 2. Welcome to the 'Fred' and good luck with the challenge :D
    We intended to move once upon a time but are still in the only house we've ever had for over 40 years :eek:.............

    .........We're still here to this day although we both regret not making the effort to make a move away at some time during those years.
    Aw - don't have regrets hon. I often think things work out how they are meant to in the long run. You've probably some lovely memories of your house after all that time :)

    Hello thank you Aesop for the eBay challenge, one of my items was a £34 buy it now and it has been bought, paid for and sent off! I checked how much other people were selling it for and went in 50p cheaper! Very pleased with that - and the challenge made me put it on before I was planning to! ����

    They do good prices but don't accept mine. Worth bearing in mind though x
