    Morning

    Well unfortunately I am poorly today (i have flu... and I feel so ill), but I am in work mainly because I handed in my notice yesterday and because I dont get paid for sick days. :mad:

    Anyway, some good news I got a cheque for £27 for 2 old mobile phones yesterday, and also a cheque for £102.53 from pet insurance (one of my kittens was very poorly for a while, and this was just for some tablets!! thank god for insurance!) - i had forgoten about it, until I phoned up the vet and asked if there was anything outstanding to claim back from the insurance. What a lovely surprise.

    So all in all have got £129.53 just from 2 cheques. :o

    And my old engagement ring ends on ebay today... its at £56 at the moment.

  • Hi Amy

    I also have an old engagement ring and a bracelet (the bracelet is worth about £149). I have a reciept for the bracelet but not the ring. Do you have recipets for yours? When you sell yours, can you tell me where and how much you got for it?

    Im selling my ring on ebay.

    I knew i would get £50 for it from a jewellery shop, so thought i would set that as the minimum amount.

    Nice extra bit of cash to add to the savings.

    Hi Hun, fab news on the ring, I sold my engagement, wedding and eternity ring to a jewellers, they were all 18 ct gold and I got £85 for the lot so what you've managed to get is great. Your totals are looking good. Keep going....
