    Sold quite a bit on Ebay today, had £26.27 in my Paypal account this morning after being paid for a couple of things. While I was just in printing off all the packing slips I noticed a strange transaction from paypal for £6.71, went into the details section of the transaction and it said 'Correction' wasn't sure if they had taken £6.71 off me or had paid it to me, I added up all the items sold and took off the fees and it came to £95 something, when I added the £6.71 it took me to my total of £102 something, not sure why they are paying me that money, it didn't say on the transaction details, was happy when I found they had paid it to me - very strange it didn't say why!

    Ebay is going very well at the mo, sold one Next outfit for £8.50, it jumped from £5.50 to £8.50 in the last minute.

    Going to take lots of pictures now of stuff to get ready for tomorrow and will upload to Turbolister tomorrow sometime.

    Congratulations on getting the job CAFC - hope you get a good redundancy package and can start the new job ASAP.

    Just paid another £2 to Capital One, I'm doing the Payment a Day Challenge, I did £1 yesterday to A&L and thought I'd do £2 today as I had my child benefit money go in yesterday.

    Got lots of parcels to wrap up in a mo as I sold a bit on Ebay yesterday, have about 10 things finishing tonight but only got bids on 2 things so far.

    Just popping in to say hello to everyone!

    CAFC - fantastic news about the job. Now, can you wangle a few days off between the old and new jobs to recharge your batteries? :D

    I agree we were meant to be posting resolutions for the rest of the month, weren't we? I'm giving it some thought. But for now I must get back to work!:eek:
