The ultimate incentive to get debt free, can I do it by New Years?

Ooooh one more ebay item ending tonight has a bid on (can you tell I'm getting excited?!)

OMG just seen what it is with a bid on, mens work shirt from George at Asda. Only worn once, but still, aren't they only about £4 new?! Going for 99p with £1.50 postage. NM it was bought for the evil ex when he had an interview anyway, I'm glad to be shot of it, has bad vibes!

Hey Dinah!
Apologies for not posting again but i've been reading your diary - your doing so well! :T

Have you thought of using read it swap it for the books you cant sell? Its a site where you swap your books with others. Ok you wont make money from it but you may get other books you want to read. (sorry if its been mentioned before!)

No it hasn't been mentioned before thanks purpleroses, I think I might love you Think I will let them go through one more cycle of amazon listing see if anymore go, then I will go to this as I would love new books but it will make mum and OH cry that I'm bringing more of them into the house!

yeah its pretty addictive too once you get started. I thought it would be a great way to clear unwanted books only i've now ended up with more as some people give books away for the price of postage! woops!

Cinny91

yay 3 days! (can keep up with the countdown its mine and OH's 11months too! :eek: )

I've dug out an oldie for the moment. Hubble Bubble by Christina Jones and I've found the chocolate run by Dorothy Koomson that I've not even opened (new book smell!! Yay!)

Well done on the comic. Fingers crossed for your auctions ending tonight!

Dinah93

Uhoh...logged on readitswapit and now i want to play with it!

Up to £41.95 of bids now although not all ending tonight. I'm all excited.

Even did a few surveys this afternoon, one gave me £1 for under 5 mins so was chuffed with that!

Uh-oh indeed, I'd never heard of this but it looks brilliant! The only problem is I'm such a hoarder I don't want to put anything of my own up for swapping
Purpleroses, how do you know who only wants the price of the postage?

Dinah93

I have loads I would swap, I just can't see why anyone would want any of mine when they have better books already mine are all wierd titles! Also, I'm a wuss, and don't dare email them asking for a swap for fear of rejection!

Have my £7 mazuma mobile cheque to put into the bank today, someone from Amazon says their item never arrived (have proof of postage though) so need to ask in the post office about what that means. 22 out of the 28 items sold last night. I don't mind about the 6 that didn't as 4 were donated to me by my dad and profits would have been split anyway I find it odd though that out of 22 items absolutely none of them had more than one bidder on! Have another 12 items ending tonight, of which 5 currently have bids. Tonight looks like an exciting evening of wrapping and packing.

I was quite good last night and did a few surveys, about 10 of them, but spent most of the night just chatting on the phone to OH (slap my wrists girlies).

Lol, its so addictive! If you go to the community (theres a tab for it) then look thorugh the forum boards and you'll see one called free books. Thats where people say which of their books are for sale for the price of postage. I've had to stop myself looking there or i'll be in even more debt!

Dinah - At first I was worried about getting rejected but I soon got over that. And trust me with the rubbish books i've listed i'm amazed at what people will swap! ok enough, i'm beginning to sound like i work for them

Dinah93

I'm going to be good at sit on my hands until the new year when they've all run through amazon again and I just want them gone. So, so tempting to go on there last night and arrange some swaps! Have relisted most of them saying I will post globally see if that means more of them go.
