I've heard things about people going out of control on Internet auctions :-) Do you use a software tool to do the bidding?

I know that using last-minute bids is a popular tactic, but it is not the only way. All you need to do is decide what your maximum bid is to be, and declare that. ebay then bids automatically (if needed) until your limit is reached. The advantages are that you don't need to be glued to your screen as the auction closing time approaches, and you are not tempted to increase the bid beyond your predetermined limit.

There's always Amazon. Amazon is behaving oddly. I got an e-mail from Amazon that a new book I had ordered would not be delivered this week as planned, but two months later than planned. They suggested I should cancel the order.

This is my third cold and second chest infection this year, so I'm really fed up. I missed my Hypochondriacs Anonymous meeting last month, so you can imagine how rough I feel. Seeing the Doc tomorrow for antibiotics, but I can't have Penicillin any more so it should be interesting. I think I'll try the Beechams gargle (my throat's raw now), but I'm wary of aspirin due to my asthsma. Thanks for the suggestion. Hope you're feeling a lot better now. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

I'm determined to get better before the sun returns. We've got cloud and occasional rain atm, although it's 9*C outside, which is an improvement on last month. Should I gather that David caught his cold at Hill House? -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

I'd been coughing non-stop night and day for a week until sheer exhaustion forced me to the gp's surgery. I got prescribed a week's erethromycin, which has actually made the coughing more painful, but I now feel there's an end in sight as the airways are clearing. Obviously what starts as a virus can turn into a bacterial infection, so antibiotics are always worth a try |
