sending big hugs hun!!!!
shame you have to sell your ds, hope you get a good amount for it! on the ebay front, i am using turbo lister as it is easier to use and so much quicker for listing. you can then upload the items when ever you want!

sorry to hear bout your relationship, i often wonder bout mine too, only last weekend thought we were on the brink..................................

Where do i find the turbo lister rags? Thanks for the tip.
I am sorry you are also having tough times with the other half, i have been really down the last few days and crying etc. I have been with him for years now and its just not the same, we hardly talk, theres no affection there, were just like mates well when were not argueing that is. He has a child from previous relationship who i have practically brought up but over the last few months, things between us haven't been good and i get down about that and god i could go on and on, how do you no when to end it or when to carry on? Having no money and i mean no money, i have no money for petrol or shopping coz we simply are not earning enough, i am always borrowing from peter to pay paul, its a viscious rubbish circle i cannot ever see myself getting out of. I am feeling sooo guilty that i got myself into debt and that i cannot be a stay at home mum and do things with my daughter that i want to do. OMG what a rant i have just done, i am sorry.

Its alright, sometimes just putting down how you feel can do you the world of good as its no longer swimming round in your head!

Just when i am thinking that its over, something happens and it feels like its not. usually something simple like a big hug............... but i agree, the debt thing doesnt help as i feel that even though we are both responsible for the debt, it is only me trying and doing without.........

the turbo lister is in the tools bit. Think i found it on the how to sell bit under the sell bit at the top by my ebay. Doesnt take long to download and when you are listing on there it is offline...........i will list bout 10 items then upload on certain nights at a certain time so doesnt clash with the soaps.

Is there anyway someone can have your littlie so you 2 have a night together to inject a bit of sparkle back??? And i know what you mean bout being a working mum, its hard to get the balance.

Thanks for the tips and thank you for info on turbo lister, may try to find some stuff to sell this weekend. The things i try and sell never go for a lot, usually baby clothes and i end up getting annoyed, what sort of things do you sell.
Since my last post a little while ago, dp has come down and we had a chat - we both need to make more of an effort i think. I suggested doing something together if we ever have ne money! Thank you

I am pleased for you, i find a drink or two in the bath together (sorry if too much info) gets us talking again and reconnected. we always find we can talk without arguing when in the bath. strange but true............

at the moment i am selling baby and toddler/childs clothes, my old size 10 stuff (:( ) and anything else that i no longer want or havent used in the last 3 months. have been ruthless. have even got a camcorder bag up for sale as in good nick, and then i have the camcorder cleaning tape........... ha ha ha!!! figure one mans junk is another mans treasure!!!!!
i havent made much really, just over £35. just glad to have some extra money and a clutter free house (my main motivation really)

Dp won't get in the bath with me, altho it has been yrs since i asked him 2. He says we won't both fit! HAHA i am a size 6!!

Ahh £35 is great i would be chuffed with that, its finding the time to find stuff to sell, then listing etc that i struggle and then i hate wrapping and going to the post office - LOL! Must think of the money

ragstoricheswannabe

my fella is 22 stone or there abouts and we both fit!!! ha ha ha!!

i have an hour or so sorting the stuff out, then another day i may get an hour to iron and photo stuff, then i upload them ready on my pooter then when i have half an hour or so i try and get as many listed in that time. I find once i get going i get on a roll so doesnt take me long to fill out the form and description. its like a part time job in itself!!!!!!!
one tip for the post office, ask for some proff of posting forms so that you can fill out the details so they just have to stamp the card, the relief on their faces when you pass over the card is priceless!!!!! (and saves the "bloody ebay" coming from the que behind you)

I used to work in a post office and there was man who would come in with about 3/4 sacks full of stuff to post, i bet the customers waiting were cursing him. LOL.

Today i really cannot be bothered to do nething, i went to the bank earlier and whilst waiting at the zebra crossing with DD a pr**k in a massive 4x4 parked straight over the crossing and then the green man came on, usually i am shy and timid but today i was fumin so i walked in front of his car looked at him thru his windscreen and called him a f**king pr**k - i then walked off. It annoys me when ppl do things like that and i am not in the best of moods at the moment LOL.
Then there were lots of people walking out infront of the buggy or barging in to it and that pee's me off aswell, now i remember why i don't go into town on a Sat. DD is asleep at the mo, i am sat on sofa, DP is upstairs on pc and step DD who is doing my head in at the mo, is wrecking her bedroom getting her toys out, i ain't tidying it up, she can or her dad!!!! I should think about getting some lunch and then i may go to mums later just to get out the house. God i'm so happy today aren't i!!! LOL
At least i have money in my account now for loan and bank charges

My Nintendo DS was selling for £75 with 3 hours left. Ebay have taken it off and ended the listing because get this i used the words AS NEW in the title. I am FUMING, so i have re listed it and i bet i don't get £75 for it this time, i need at least £75 because the bill i want to pay off with the money is £80.

It sounds like somebody complained to ebay, the thing is we use "as new" to describe items, hense to end the listing, how long have u put the listing on for.

Sorry this sounds daft but double check, triple check ur listing, as if someone did report the listing they may try again. I had the same happen to me, yet other sellers where using the same words, when I queried this with ebay they said that someone had reported the listing... says it all x
