    hi amy, well done on listing your 'treasure' ha ha hope it all sells for you. Keep trying on the mobiles, ive got another one finishing soon, have tried bidding on a bit more expensive one as thought the really cheap ones are bought by people as spares so more competition , will let u know the make and model to look out for if imsuccesful!

    Amy ~ Fingers crossed for ya that it sells!! Have you seen the thread re things you never thought you could sell on eBay? Might give you some ideas - there was a guy on there who sold his wife's old (empty mind you!) perfume bottles for about a fiver!! madness lol but worth a try ;)

    Well I've done my budget now and making frustratingly slooow progress, but the figures are creeping up (or down depending on which ones you're looking at lol). Will get there in the end! (or by 2009 I hope lol). Gonna go and look at money making ideas on the boards now!!

    Take care all xx

    Hope everyone is well-hows the bidding war going Amy?

    I've been very moneysaving today, sat down with my left over scrapbooking stuff and made an 18th birthday card for my best mates daughter and a birthday card for my dad for free :D Also made up a book of vouchers for my dad for haircuts, he always wants me to clipper his hair for him and asked my mum what he wanted for his birthday, she didnt know of anything so suggested the vouchers-genius!!!! so that and a big bar of chocolate and thats him sorted:T
    Need to get an 18th birthday pressie tho and can't think of anything, guess it might just be money.:confused:

    Fingers crossed!

    Im just looking for everything to sell now... i need to make a dent in my credit card.

    Have just decided to start looking into Shared Ownership. Its the only way I will get on the housing ladder. I have been renting since i was 17 (25 this July!) so think its about time i find somewhere of my own. Plus i would LOVE a garden for the cats and also to sit out in in the summer, and to neglect in the winter! :rotfl:

    anyway... that wont be until I have paid off the debts! :rolleyes:
