Managed to get three done and a relist before some time-out for glee hope your motivation is keeping up

I think it's going up a penny a day :mad: the oh was going through his paperwork and in July last year diesel was £1.15 so I'm completely freaking about how high it's going to get this year, especially as we're moving further from town

Glee was awesome Have managed to get photos taken for another 5 items, going to get descriptions written up tonight for them so they're ready to go tomorrow evening

Baby steps

Argh, had to use the paypal money to buy stuff for the house Think I should stop getting my hopes up re the extra dosh I make.

On my moneymaking/saving list for today is:

*List at least 5 items on ebay
*Get the internet direct debit changed into parents name

Not a lot but enough to be getting on with ontop of my normal work

Purpleroses

I do hope you're listing missy

debtbegone

Hehe, I was indeed! Managed to get 6 new items up and some relists done too. Just about to do some descriptions and photos for another four so they're ready to go tomorrow.

Didn't manage to get the internet dd switched though, neither of us were in the house at the same time for long enough to get it done

Can't believe it's bl00dy raining here again, so jealous of the "Unseasonaly hot weather" down south!

Feeling a wee bit more positive re the debt, had a wee chat with the OH tonight about it and how to get myself out of this silly mess. It WILL be gone

All but one of the items I had ending today has sold A couple for just 99p plus postage, but they've made me about 60p after fees, 60p better than throwing stuff in the bin I suppose!

Need to get some more bits listed tonight, the ones that have paid up wrapped and MUST get the internet dd sorted today!

Purpleroses

well done! I know the little sales don't seem worth it, but i guess it does all help at the moment. I know once i'm debt free i won't be doing any more 99p listings!!

debtbegone

Ooohh, tell me about it Right now I'm feeling positive and focused so if I do a few at a time I can handle it - some stuff that I've listed at 99p start, thinking "If it goes for that I'll be happy" has ended up going for over a tenner. If I don't try then I'll never know

How're you getting on with your listings? Keeping motivated I hope!

I've managed a few listings tonight so am quite happy, going to get more photos taken tonight. Good job my sister has a neverending supply of stuff, 20% in my pocket because she can't be bothered.

Also going to try set myself a mini-challenge of making enough on ebay in May to pay minimum payments to two of my cards - that gives me a total of £70 to aim for (that's a LOT of 99p listings :rotfl:)

Purpleroses

i'm doing just 3 listings a day. not much but i'm finding its adding up. i've had a few bids tonight on items i've listed about 100 times at 99p so glad to be getting rid of them at last!
