    I have some items ending today too but it's only a couple of pounds for me.

    I'm paying off the ebay fees as I go along too so that I don't think I'm doing better than I am!

    I thought I had listed everything I ever owned, but I always manage to find the odd bits and pieces, but you are right, one day it will run out. Family is good - I'm gong to my Dad's over Easter so I'll have to raid his house!!

    nellis, i'm doing the same. Sat here watching and hoping people will bid on the items that are coming up to ending.

    Just sold some more cross stitch kits for £7.99 which will help towards my target.

    Listing some more things now while waiting for some friends to visit. Might get them to help list some more and package some items up.....get a little production line going!
