Another vote for both....didn't think I would be able to get good natural seo in such a huge marketplace, but am chuffed with some of my page 1 keyword achievements over 2 years.....but nearly all enquiries come from listing site, or from website via listing site.

I enjoy playing anyway :lol:

Sounds very reasonable to me...would have thought 75p and £2 acceptable too.

I hope it's a successful and enjoyable day :D

I had an enquiry today for that week hence my post!.... a very tempting week for us but yngst has GCSEs....and with only 3 days off work it will be far more popular than May half term normally is, and it's easy to sell normally.

Our school won't confirm holidays until Sept probably!
