    To be honest I'm not sure. The thing I know about ebay though is that it has a lot of traffic, and my jewellery is relatively inexpensive to make. When I was selling on there before it was something which was quite niche, and the things I make now are also a relatively niche thing, at least in this country anyway. I think of reasons to list, and then I think of reasons not to. I really don't know what to do.

    hmm not sure, I guess you could compare as to what is already selling on there. I have seen too much from china etc that brings the price down and despite handmade bits being unique, everyone seems to go for price. Good luck if you do it.

    I'm not selling it on Ebay Jellie. I sell it on Folksy (link to my shop is set as my homepage here)

    Good to see you still around :)

    Back to work today :(

    Really need to make an effort with my house, it's so cluttered and doing my head in now. Why do I keep things we just don't need?

    In good news won £11 on jackpotjoy last night so waiting for that to come back to me.

    Yay, well done on your win. I was back to work today too after the weekend then 2 days off. I know exactly what you mean about clutter in the house - we had a massive clearout (DS coming home after a year living with his mate), got rid of loads to the dump and even more to the charity shop, it made us cringe to think how much money we were actually getting rid of, but it has definitely made me think, I do NOT need to buy anything for a long time! Then, after all that, I went to Tesco and passed a lovely jacket down from £45 to £12 in my size, and I very nearly took it, but I stopped myself in time! Feels great though having cleared out so much stuff. Oh, and got £150 now in my new a/c for that holiday so pleased about that!

    Well done Primula, I really need a declutter too, and well done on the money.

    Our wedding savings are slow, but we'll get there, trying not to stress so much about it.

    I made a cute little pig from socks this morning, I'm actually quite proud if it. I only did it after reading about sock monkeys and saw a pig pattern and thought it looked cool. I'm going to have a scout for some nice socks at the weekend, as well as trying to declutter my house!

    I'm due for massive declutter session over Easter so I don't have to move all the tat to the new house if it goes through!
