well that amount of money will do lots.... will be able to pay some small items off completely and then redirect the money we dont pay to them to the other debts. i am so focused on fixing this.

over the weekend OH said to me ... we will make a list of the things we want to do and we will ..... SAVE UP... OMG .. i dont think i have ever heard him say those words before... he may have been saying... "I have just been abducted by aliens and they experimented on my brain"... actually i think i would have believed that more.

We've opened a shop where people can drop off their items and we ebay them for them and send them a cheque with their profits at the end.

We've had a few enquiries and the first real live customer gave us 3 lots to list and sell today. Not worth that much but she seems happy with the estimates we gave her and is happy to see how it goes.

Quite a few older people have popped in cos they've heard of ebay but don't do computers.

Your business seems to be going great guns...you must be delighted.

wow kissjenn ... as a complete ebay convert... i would love to do something like that! is OH helping too?

kissjenn · 23 March 2010 at 6:53PM

OH is doing the website but it needs a lot more work. He's got a piece of contract work from France which will bring in a few hundred euros and I think he's quite chuffed about that. He's also kept going with the OU and is making steady progress.

I've a lady helping me a few hours a week so we're splitting the time in the shop.

We dumbly said we'd help out a local charity for kids who then proceeded to fill the place with black bags of c&&p. Resale value is next to nil and we've spent 2 days cleaning it up. Live and learn, lousy trick but we'll do the dump runs and take stuff to the charity shops...10 plastic rollers for 49p don't have big demand on ebay!
