    Woodyrocks that's a real shame. Is it so rare that you wouldn't be able to buy another one once you're out of debt?
    I sort of know how you feel about selling something precious. I've collected illustrated books (in a particular genre) for many years and I'd be heartbroken if I had to sell the rarest ones. It hasn't come to that, yet. Everything else is going but not the books!!

  • Good news to report at last - i have just withdrawn the grand total of ......... wait for it...... £22.75 from Pay pal - although that does still have the postage to take off. Will up date totals when have posted the items and can tak off the postage. Also have one payment that is pending through Paypal.

    Should really list some more but have been ill with sickness bug and not felt like doing this.... May try some today on a 10 day auction as I think (if my fuzzy brain is working) that they will end during the weekend.

    I have finally done it - i have reached my target of £8,000
    I sold my last items last night which took me over my target.
    The money has all been paid into my PayPal account and i have withdrawn it this morning!
    I can now contact my creditors and offer the F&F figure of £8,000 which i have been told they would accept as i have had trouble paying back the full amount recently!!
    I cant believe that i am finally going to be debt free - woohoo!!!
