Thanks for that Toots.
I really should have specified alot more when I listed the item. But being exetremley stressed at the time I wasn't thinking to straight.

Plus I've only just realised that I hadn't activated my Paypal Account. Donut that I am. Still done now.

I shall do some more this week when there is peace and quiet.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I did that before I came on here - SOOOO glad I found this instead... The reminders and ads to sell stuff drove me MAD! good idea, just soooo american it was unreal... and I think I shined my sink before bedtime for the first week only.... it is clean all the time now, although I don't get stressed if it's not as I felt like a failure if I didn't do it on their programme, also, getting dressed to your shoes??? ... You're lucky if I'm out of my dressing gown when I work from home... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

DeniseF - I agree with you about air fresheners. Best thing is to open the window and get rid of the source of the smell (sorry SarahS, looks like you'll have to warn hubby he may have to move into the shed ), or to put a drop or two of essential oil on a lightbulb. You can also mix essential oils with vinegar for a spray, or make a gel air freshener from gelatine, vodka, water & essential oils.

For pet pee, dry, wash with washing up liquid, rinse with 110ml vinegar diluted in 2 pts warm water. Vinegar can also be used as a repellant if they keep using the same place.

Your such a good source of information on all this Greenbee... I really want to be green, and do a few things, but all the info out there is quite confusing and really expensive sometimes and other times I feel that people say stuff is green when it's not really, just coz they want to get on the bandwagon, so which puts me off... so thanks for all your wonderful info, it is appreciated...:T :T :T

Apparently if you light a match that clears the air so I suppose a candle would do it...

I have just remembered I have been asked to e-bay something for someone and I can't remember what or who...other than it's a female friend...however I do remember I suggested she track similar items for a couple of weeks to get an idea of a likely selling price, work out a postage rate based on a UK sale (I am not doing ALL the work) and come back to me at half term when I would have time to help her.
I wonder how long it is since I sold...
apparently I sold in March...not too long then.

you will find you will refine each listing as you go along until you get a format that suits you - I read alot of other peoples first and copy/pasted bits like the payment details/ returns/ overseas bidding etc until I got it the way I wanted.
please just ask if you want any help.
You might want to consider turbo lister as it stores all your info that you use all the time so you dont have to keep re-doing it. and you can get things ready in advance and then upload at the time that you want.
its great for re-using for similar sales and duplicates as its all there and you just edit to suit.

Thanks for that Tooch I've been here since summer - lurked for a while then took the plunge. I saw the American site and thought no way - I would spend all my time doing my control journal - in itself a terrifying thought - though I dare say ex hubby would have quite a different opinion about me and control:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I know it, but me and my gin have a special relationship... it's deep and intense, and involves consumption not cleaning!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

You tip a measure into a shot glass.. dangle said diamond for a bit to clean it then take it out and swig the gin.. :money:

i have been looking into the past weekly fly lady threads,just to see how it all started(cause it is fab) and was wondering when pigpen started to be"our leader!!!" and where moggins went?

Moggins handed over to Lil_me when she and her hubby split.. Lil_me had it until last October when she started intense studying and found managing time was a little much with all her vast and plentiful other worthwhile causes she devotes her time to.. and now I have it.. I had it for a few weeks over last summer too while Lil_me moved to her new mansion.

I've dried all my washing in my TD this weekend to see how much it costs me...Grand total of £1.18 I'm impressed. That amount of washing used to cost me somewhere in the region of £3 a time if not more at the laundrette or I had to put the fire & the gas heaters in the bedrooms on and have a house full of condensation so I'm much happier! That means that since I paid £172 for it (including delivery) that it should pay for itself financially by this time next year, but health & time wise (so much better now I don't have to sit in the laundrette for anything up to 2 hours!) its already paid for itself! :j

Right, now I need to tackle the ironing, so I'm going to put Under Siege 2 on from the other night while I do it Will start that about 8pm after I've finished this blooming question for my ECA :rolleyes: I've been on the same one all day as it involves drawing a chart :mad:

Anyways I'm off. :wave:
