    30 minutes to go..... I will be watching to make sure that green light goes off.

    Great news about the new job - a change is as good as a rest after all. Is there any chance of it leading to a promotion any time?

    Well i got caught up in the competitions..... oops!

    Im just going to bed now... well im in bed must switch off laptop....:rolleyes:

    Seaxwyn im really looking forward to the change its a move out of a large team into a really small team... no chance of promotion within the team but i will learn alot more about my current job from a behind the scenes angle... which i think can only be a good thing and if there are any jobs that come up out there i might have a bit more experience to progress elsewhere. I've done the same job for 9 years now and although its always changing it does become repetative after a while... if things don't work out i think i would be able to go back to my original job but i dont want to look at things in that way....

    This is a positive step for me .... and im really looking forward to it :j

    Switching off and shutting down now.... honest

    Nite

    don't forget about using turbolister to do your listings, it has a save facility so you can do them at one time and then actually put them up on ebay ata nother itme.

    you can get it free from the ebay site

    Buddiebabe - congratulations on the new job. that is such good news.

    Have you ever taken piriton tablets - you can buy them over the counter. I use them in conjunction with cream when I get bitten and they really help - maybe have a word with the chemist if they are still itching over the weekend?

    I've managed to find another 5 items to list on Ebay tonight - 4 items of clothing which will never fit me and a book. Just got to try and 5 for tomorrow!

    So far today its an NSD and I can't see that changing so will add that to my siggy when I get home from work tonight.

    Hey Chev i usually use turbo lister if im listing alot of similar items but i never save them on there... i usually do about 5 - 10 and then list them... turbo lister has crashed on me so many times before loosing everything i had just done so i don't let it get before 10. Turbo lister is great when it works.

    MrsPorridge i always get hayfever so i have a piriton equivelent in the house... i usually just get the cheapest ones i can find... which reminds me the ones i usually use are in the shop at the moment buy on get one free but the offer ends on tuesday night so im going to have to get some before then.

    I haven't had a NSD for a while and it doesn't look like i will be for a few days either.

    That's great about the NSD and the ebay listings MrsPorridge i have about 50 items photographed ready to list but just cant seem to find the time.... i have just been so tired lately.

    Im working at 12 today so i better get up and get ready

    Hi Buddiebabe - I didn't manage my NSD yesterday (I bought a lottery ticket) and I haven't managed one today fingers crossed for tomorrow!

    Some of my Ebay items are ending shortly so the afternoon will be spent packing up the ones which are sold and relisting those that didn't sell.

    Hey

    Surprisingly i had a NSD today :j i didn't buy anything on my teabreak at work and my boyfriend bought us a takeaway tonight.... which meant we need to go shopping 2moro but i didn't spend anything today :j

    Really shouldn't have had a takeaway with me trying to watch what im eating but it was a treat and if i don't loose any weight on Wednesday i have no one but myself to blame :o

    I haven't listed anything on ebay today... just relisted stuff that didn't sell. I have 326 items listed and 5 of them are selling for a grand total of £7.17.... one of the items i've had listed for what seems like forever but is now just selling....

    I will list at least 10 items tomorrow... honest i will!

    I cleared and cleaned my computer desk and surrounding area tonight so that i can try and get more organised... i don't seem to be able to keep up with the finances as well as i used to when i use the laptop so i thought if i sit at my desk to deal with all the money things i could then use the laptop for competitions and ebay when i want peace to do them i can go into the bedroom :confused: just a thought.... if it works great if not then i'll have to figure something else out....

    Going to do some competitions before i go to bed

    Well so far not managed to list anything on ebay today :o got a text from one of our friends saying they would be coming down tonight for a visit so have spent most of the day cleaning and tidying the house.... the bathroom, hall and living room are spotless the bedroom on the other hand you can't move in!!! maybe have to sleep in the livingroom tonight!!!

    I was totally stressed out that i starting flinging everything in bin bags ready to fling it all in the bin. It's now lying in the bedroom until i make up my mind.... its all my clothes i washed that need ironing but i just was in such a mood i decided everything must go!!!

    Will try and do some ebay stuff later

    Hey yeah i know its late and i should be sleeping but the house is really getting me down. There is stuff lying everywhere again.... my friend left early so i decided to get some stuff moved out of the bedroom so we could go to bed tonight so i started moving stuff and now the hall and the livingroom are back to being full of junk.... the only good thing is that i know that under the junk is clean!!!

    I decided to make Twinks famous hobnobs tonight so that was fun.... the diet has gone completely to pot this weekend im totally fed up and really cannot be bothered with it anymore :o

    There is still no more new items listed on ebay and probably wont be for a while.... i cant list things when the house is in the mess it is.... am still really tempted to fling out anything that is lying in a box or bag around the house.... why do i have so much stuff :mad:

    About 10.30 tonight i turned into a mad woman posessed i decided i wanted to start cleaning the bedroom so moved half of the junk out and into the living room i then stripped the bed, hoovered the mattress, turned the mattress, hoovered the pillows and put new sheets and covers on the bed.... i then hoovered the part of the carpet i had just cleared and the bits under the bed that had no stuff on them.... there was not alot!!! Id actually forgotten how much stuff is crammed under there.... i was about to start pulling it out when my boyfriend pointed out that it was 11.45 so i went for a shower. Im now lying in the nice clean bed but am wide awake and want to keep tidying.... im so tempted to phone in for an emergency holiday tomorrow but it wouldn't look good so i wont.

    Am going to do some competitions now while im still wide awake.

    Morning! I hope you got some sleep in the end.

    Why not just throw a lot of the junk out? Having the space might improve your quality of life, and that's worth as much as any money you eventually get from selling the stuff.
