Yes - I started well, then got lazy!

I've got some baby bits to relist, and maternity stuff to photograph and list. Ooh, and my doppler. And some of DD's stuff she won;t wear (she's been living in the same old scruffy Hannah Montana tracksuit for months!)

Wel, it's may, and i'm determined to top Aprils total.

Aprils has been spent on birthday presents for OH, DS and little sister - all with May birthdays so paypal is down to £0.00.

I've photographed everything, and will list over the weekend.

I've a pile of hardly worn maternity bras - i'm funny about stuff like that, but will people buy 2nd hand bras?

And theres a couple of worn once baby winter items - i'm not sure whether to keep hold of them and list later in the year? Who's going to want a newborn sized pink snowsuit in May!

Woohoo :j

£500 this month towards mat leave fund!!!

Plan to put loadsa stuff on eBay this weekend towards Baby Fund - which we use to buy things for the baby!!

Hoping not to have any big spends in May - except Wembley and Chester races (just need to pay for my races) and do as much Overtime as I can.

I've changed it now!

The one in my sig is the money I've saved/made. Got my fingers crossed for the EuroMillions draw tonight!

I don't know what the total of Mum's baby fund was, but in the last week we've been spending it - £200 on the pram, £110 on the car seat, £20 on the walker and got an old travelcot for free! (old one for "playpen" type thing; still want a new modern one for actualy sleeping in).

Well, i've spent the afternoon listing 29 items!
All ending next Saturday, so should catch the bank holiday weekend browsing pregnant ladies.

Little bit of maternity, lots of hardly worn maternity bras (not sure i'd personally buy 2nd hand, but i'm sure someone will!), lots of newborn girls stuff and one or two of older DD's items - including brand new, absolutely gorgeous Next school shorts which after taking the tags off, she's decided she doesn't like! :eek: I could absolutely strangle her sometimes.

(ETA: i've just remembered another item, so that makes it a nice round 30!)

Glam - I've just discovered a thing for your books
on ebay you can "assign automation rules" so you can chose to automatically keep re-listing an item until it sells, I was thinking maybe you should put them on a 5day listing so each time it re-lists it ends on a diff day of the week to last time in case there is a mystery day that books sell best on?

Thanks Sami - that's a good idea. I have decided that when in laws do a car boot we will do it with them and I'll sell all my books there.
Figured 50p per book (they are in very good condition) and would go to 3 for a £1. Saves me faffing with P&P - as it hasn't been working out that beneficial.

Going to sell stuff we know will sell on eBay and the rest just get rid on car boot.
