Does this mean you will be concentrating on something we will see the results of at the end of the month. No cream eggs etc for easter then :angel: :laugh3:

Hi Tim,

Been trying to do the same in Feb. Valentine's day, girlfriend's 50 th birthday, vet's bills etc has taken it's toll but hard not to go to ebay and think I want that, I want that!

With regards to March, mother's and neice's birthdays coming up and when they're over I'm going to invest any money left at the Cheltenham races and put my St. Patrick's day Guinness on a tab.

Think I need help!

Good luck  :beers:

I do have the Brighton Belle on pre-order but lets face thats not going to arrive imminently. 

With Sterling falling like a stone against the Euro - I'll be sticking an order for track & points into Hattons today or tomorrow as (for me at least) it creates a bit of a discount...

You either cant see it listed because its been discontinued or  its currently out of stock
It's very hard to find a shop that is still open that has Nothing in stock.
It's not a very popular stock item with shops, as once there is Nothing on the shelves the customers stop asking for Something and the shop quickly goes into negative profit after week or two.
