Really want and come and talk about waxing legs and other areas but stuck doing ebay
So laborious and boring! Oh thinks he's helping by just being "near" to me but he really isn't, he is just annoying me even more. Have only managed to get about 25 things on there so far but have put them all as Buy It Now and if they sell then I should get about £180 and that is only a quarter of the stuff on so far. May have to get OH to do some photographs tomorrow.
Back to the drawing board and early morning run tomorrow as well :eek:1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j

First lump sum to go - fingers crossed!

We know how to live don't we?!
Laborious it may be, but just think about the money - all your hard work is paying off! :A0 -
IMD - if it helps, you have motivated me. After reading about your ebay sucesses I have been up in our loft this weekend and started the big 'declutter'. I already have photos and descriptions ready for about 20 things on ebay and am going to keep decluttering after work this week until Thur and then list all I have so far.
I'm hoping to make enough cash to pay for me OH, stepDD, stepDS and our two springers to go away for new year (£550). When I've finished on the loft I'm starting on the garage....
Keep up the diary and the good work, you've inspired me once again xNatwest Card 27.06.10 (reduce every month) £267.63

Hey IMD - Huge well dones on the ebaying, thats really awesome. Glad it was a good decision to go for it!
As for the waxing, braver than me!!! Although I'm intrigued enough to at least give me legs a go, my ankles get battered by the cheap razors I buy...0 -

Ebaying is one of the most boring jobs to do. I'd much rather be cleaning the house, or anything really!!!
Your life isn't boring! How is the running going? Me and two women from work are training together and I never thought I'd say it but I really like training with other people!
Working hard? Hmmm, I started well this morning at 8, but by mid morning I'd slowed, and have come to a grinding halt...0 -
Hi RT - just posted on your thread, you're privileged!
Running is going really well, a few of us went out yesterday and did a couple of hours. Lovely coldish day in the hills and I love the company, just being out there, chatting and running, makes me feel so refreshed when I get home. Really trying to get up to doing 3 hour runs so that the marathon isn't a shock in April. Up to just short of 3 hours now but it was a bit too tiring for my liking! I really think it's good for your endorphins and feel good happiness!
As OH knows I am slogging my guts out on ebay he has been pretty good at letting me get on with it and come home and do ebay so it makes life a bit easier - but it is still boring! Going to try and get most of it done by tomorrow evening and then nothing until the weekend with any luck!1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j
