Panic over, just sold them on buy it now - phew - husband is off the hook, got back what we paid for them! lol! And one more item has a bid on it too! This really is quite exciting. I have listed another three things that the OH needs to upload from turbo lister later this evening - hopefully he can't mess that up!

Well done on your ebay sale! Yes, it does get quite exciting once you have a few bids coming in - makes it worthwhile I guess and every little bit all adds up.

ANOTHER cd has sold on Amazon. :j Another £1.92 paid off the credit card. New total: £4135.08.

Going to leave it a day or two to make this payment to the card - made one today so will probably confuse virgin :rolleyes: otherwise, and also will wait to see if we sell any other bits.

I don't believe this - ANOTHER Amazon sale! :j A book for £2.64 has just sold. That makes the outstanding credit card balance now at £4132.44 :j

What kind of books and CDs are you selling on there - I have listed books and CDs and nobody buys them. I also went on Music Magpie yesterday and they didn't want half of my CDs or only wanted to give me 30p or 15p for them! Hmph! I am not giving them away for 30p - thats just rude!

They're mostly cookbooks, garden books, text books and reference books - I don't put any fiction on there as there's so many on there already. Cds - they're mostly ones from the last 5 years or so. DVDs - hubby has lots of dvds from the past 10 years or so. They ony go for between £1.20 - £3, some more, but it all adds up. Music magpie seem to give a lot for disney dvds we found...

Woo hoo - another dvd and a cd sold on Amazon. :j That's another £4.39 off the virgin card - new total: £4130.69. Would be great if we could get rid of another £30 off of it this month...
Also received payment for my ebay item, so will post that tomorrow.

Another cd sold on Amazon the night before last. Not sure what the total is up to now, but I shall add it all up and pay it off the credit card within the next couple of days. :T
We're really pleased with the progress we're making on the credit card payments, even hubby has now realised how selling all these little bits and pieces is really adding up. I think he was a bit sceptical at first as he hates getting rid of 'stuff' but now he's caught the bug too! :j

Our pizza express vouchers from Tesco clubcard deals came yesterday, so we'll have a nice free meal out soon for my birthday.

I still haven't listed those extra few things on ebay; think I'll leave it and maybe car boot them...

Annoyed at myself as have to buy a sandwich and drink for my lunch today - didn't get up early enough to organise lunch making and didn't do it last night. Tonight I shall definitely be making my own! That'll cost me about £2.30 or so from the mobile sandwich truck thing.

Also had to post lots of Amazon & ebay parcels - postage cost around £10 which has obviously been paid for by the buyers, but I use my 'everything else' cash to pay for it and put the full amounts made online straight to the credit card.
Other than that, I have been very good and bought nothing yet this month from that cash - 8 days after payday and I've hardly spent a bean :-)

I've updated my signature with my new credit card total after all the Amazon sales - balance now stands at: £4126.35 :j The sales have slowed down now, but there's still a few things listed which should hopefully bring in some pennies over the next month or two.

Today we made a start on the garden, doing things that we can do for free - and it looks great. We had to spend £6 on two rolls of weed fabric stuff but we have loads left over for the back garden when we come to do it.
I received the supertooth thing yesterday that I won a couple of weeks ago. We have no use for it, so it's now listed on ebay, along with one other item. Hopefully those should make some more pennies to pay a bit more off the credit card.

A very minimum spend weekend for me as I accidentally left my wallet and bag locked away in my desk at work! Maybe I should do it every weekend - then I'd never spend a penny!
