    Well done on the Ebay sales. I sold 3 things myself at the weekend and will be delighted if I can get the one biggie I have listed this week sold. Best of luck with the rest of yours!

  • Have spent the last 3,000 (million) hours packing the ebay stuff up and still more to go - then got another 100 things to go on :eek: I'm selling baby/maternity things which I have bought in bulk and always seem to be popular - I am making OH Mr Postman on the principle that I have been Mrs Wrapper tonight - think it's completely fair!

    Not much to report for today, got paid and we are in credit for a few days at least - healthy paypal balance which will leave there for as long as I can so to avoid spending.

    Hormonal as hell also :rotfl:

    I'm with you on the wrapping - I was in the Post Office twice yesterday and am off again this morning! I spied a load of jiffy bags and a massive roll of bubble wrap in DH's office, going free, so that's saved on the packaging.

    Great that you've hit on something to sell - keep going and you'll be £70k UP soon! Have a good day ;)
  • Likewise, I posted on my diary yesterday that all I seem to have done over the past week is wrap stuff up - The office looks a lot tidier though, that's where I was keeping all the stuff to Ebay.
    Glad you enjoyed your night out :o
