    Thank you :)
    Glad you enjoyed your day out and well done on the sales. Never been to Slimbridge...come to think of it, I don't even know where it is....:rotfl:

    No, I've never been before, it's somewhere we've often thought about going. It was nice!

    Just waiting for eBay stuff to go out. We've had a lot of last minute sales today which is not a bad thing (though I'll be moaning when I'm trying to get them packed).

    Also managed to get a bargain Sun holiday today. I just had a quick look, out of curiosity as I'd had an email about more availability. Managed to get a weekend in Cornwall for just £9.50 each with no extras :T :T We'll have to come back the Sunday night rather than the Monday, but we can go down on Friday night and still have the weekend. All for £65 including the dog. This will be our first break for years other than visiting family :j

    Is Slimbridge where the swans are? I've never been but it sounds good, glad you had a good day out there :).

    That's an amazingly cheap holiday and it will give you something nice to look forward to :T.

    All parcels packed and posted bar one, which seems to be from someone who doesn't know what an auction is. They are complaining that they can't pay because the total isn't as much as they bid! I'm happy for them to pay £10 more if they want to :rotfl:

    I slept a lot better last night, that's the first time in a long time.

  • Wow, bargain holiday. Love Cornwall, although we haven't been for years.


    Had to laugh about the ebay buyer....:rotfl:
    DMP 2015 £57,549, now £36,112 (37% paid)
    EF £200 Mortgage OP's this year £115

  • Hi jwil,

    Glad you had a nice day out, Slimbridge isn't one I've heard of, I may have to have a look one day with the kids.

    Well done on the ebay sales and lol to the buyer :rotfl:

    Yes, we haven't been down for about 4 years now. We used to go every year for a weekend.

    Some people are a bit daft :o

    My ebayer paid up at last! It's nice when everyone pays quickly and we haven't got to go to the PO every day.

    I took the decision to drop one of the survey sites, I'm fed up with having to fill out a million pre-screening questions (that are the same each time) before even getting to a survey. I've got another one that I am thinking of dropping too. I might look for some new ones as there's several I haven't tried.
