We missed you! I too need to get the hang of ebay....

Feel all needed now. Even if it is for my warped sense of humour!! LOL.
Whoop-de-do MrsCMR. Go get 'em cowboy. Totally impressed with all your debt blasting.
I too must get my Ebay head on. The thought of listing is enough to deter me, I tell you. Its all a bit....... well, how can I say it.... Faffy? Is that a word? Have I just make a word? Can I get paid for my new word invention?Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

afternoon all.
thanks for popping in.
well a good day.
ebay is great! mrs gg i can highly recommend. i must say i stress a little about people being disappointed so i am completely and thoroughly descriptive in my items details. i do not want any disappointments.
in fact listing new items gets me v excited - now thats sad!

Have had better days TBH.
Still not got my motivation up to get ebaying, I know I should, have lost my enthusiasm a bit. Its all getting a bit monstrous and every minor effort seems to much of an effort to even bother with. Guess I am on the slippery slope of montly madness, one minute I am down, next I am up, next I am laughing my !!! off, the next I am chirpy as hell, the next I am debt busting with a vengance.
Oh why can't I win the lotto??? Oh yeah, I don't buy tickets, that'll be why!

Just read most of this thread mrscmr, very inspiring and motivating!!! Keep up the good work and continue to let us know of your progress
Just being nosey here but what kind of work do you and your husband do???
It would also be interesting to see a S.O.A. (Statement of Affairs) summarising your monthly income & expenses so people can see if they can help advise on cutting back on some of it 0 -
