Left the house this morning at seven and it was raining again just for a change getting feed up with all this wet grey weather.

We have been watching Grandfather clocks on eBay over the last few weeks and we came across this one. It had a seven day listing and we have monitored it and watched it from day one.

There was only one bid on it until about a hour and a half to the end of the listing , then bidder number two came in and was the current wining bid that was until bidder one bid again and was again the highest bid .

Helen came in at around 30 seconds to go and put her highest bid in she was ruthless and blew the other two out of the water and gave them no chance of winning. Helen got the clock us for only £73.00.

We do have to collect the clock in person and that will mean going down to Essex for it. A 450 mile round trip , hopefully we can get down for it either next Saturday or Sunday maybe next weekend at the latest. They will be the added cost of fuel but even so i still reckon its a good buy and we are both extremely happy and please with our win.
