    Well I am bored bored bored - no debt busting letters left to do. Will have another look through my recent post and double check I haven't missed anything.

    Mother in law's birthday on 20th - have traded in some of DS old wii games and have credit on Amazon - Mother in law has a kindle so therefore will be getting an Amazon gift certificate for her birthday :D

    Its pouring of rain outside - been to the Co-op and bought some little baguettes for DS and his friend to have for lunch £1!!!!!

    At a loose end..........officially all out of debt busting things to do. Would have been a NSD if I hadn't bought the baguettes for the kids lunch :mad:.

    Planning to start photographing and writing descriptions for ebay - would like to list 10 items each week. Think now would be a good time to start. We have lots of really good quality things to list - brand new pair of nike hi-tops DS got for his birthday which don't fit, brand new never worn Moda in Pelle shoes, lots of kids and designer clothes.

    Given that I am working 5 nights and 3 long days before I get back I reckon if I start them on Saturday or Sunday to finish next Sunday then I can post them when I return next Monday? I hear ending them on the weekend is the best thing. Have downloaded the ebay and paypal apps to my iphone to watch the midweek action.:rotfl::rotfl:

    I don't want to list too many items in case I get sick of the posting and packaging!

    Ten a week is a manageable amount and I'd aim to make £70 a week until I run out of good listings!! Also have a huge amount of Ben 10 alien force figures which I was planning to list in batches - is this a good idea or best to list them individually? Will do some research!!

    If I could get away with listing 10 a week for 6 weeks and clear all the good quality listings @ £70 a week that would get me around £420!!! My mind is racing!!:D

    Right no more talking - more action. I'm off to make a start :D

    Decided as I have time on my hands I may as well photograph and type the descriptions for all the items and just stagger the start time of the listings for 10 a week. Then I will have constant action without the hassle of listing every week!!!

    Just found a couple of redundant ipods to go into the listings :j(hubby and I now have iphones). 1 x pink nano and 2 x green shuffles all in good condition. Hoping for £10 for each shuffle and £30 for the nano - does that sound unrealistic?

    On the downside my beloved laptop is running a little slow again - please don't be on the way out. It's my number one money saving tool!!:eek:

    Can't find the turbolister - think it might be because my computer is packing up :(

    Hi gargrave,
    Hope you hit your target on Ebay. I would have thought you would have gone over that amount, so fingers crossed.:beer:

    Well that would be nice:p

    Still waiting for the postman - waiting for a challenge to be delivered. I can live in hope:D.

    Not much wiggle room this week but thankfully not totally skint - somewhere inbetween:).
