    I'm playing around with an old ebay account I have this morning. Have just turned it into a business accoun. Seeing as I am already registered se for the jewellery I am looking into the possibility of expanding into Ebay somehow.

    Doing lots of costings etc.

    Good on you. I've often thought if you could get a good supplier you could set up a nice wee business on Ebay. I've bought a lot of clothes off Ebay in the past, a lot of per una stuff, obviously seconds, but not really obvious IYSWIM, where do these sellers get all that stuff from I wonder?! Your jewellery is really nice, I see it on your jewellery FB page.

    thanks prim, still doing costings, but I think I could give it a go. If it doesn't work within a couple of months I've only lost the listing fees so not too bad.

    Really carp day at work today, one of my colleagues told my boss where to shove her job. I wish I had the guts to do that.

    There just isn't enough hours in the day at the mo. I have put a couple of bits on ebay as a business here and here

    loads of other ideas just not enough time to get them all done, or money etc.

    Really don't want to go to work today :(

    I'm still tempted with ebay too, I keep thinking how much I used to make, but everything was so different then. Hopefully you'll sell something on there :).

    Another late shift at work tonight :( I have drawn the short straw this week. I was reading my old diary last night and it was great looking back to see how much I paid off in a short amount of time. Whe you're in the thick of it I don't think you appreciate how well you're doing etc.

    On that note 80p transferred to wedding savings today :rotfl:

    It's still better than nothing lol. With the loan I must have paid off about 10k of debt now, it doesn't feel like it though lol. I can't wait to actually have money of my own. You did really well paying off yours, especially the car loan, that was gone in no time.

    I should probably reread mine soon- it's a good idea to remind yourself of how well you did!

    Thanks girls. It really is a good idea to look back and appreciate how well you did.

    I don't know what's going on with me at the mo, but now I'm thinking of getting my own website for all my crafty bits so they're all in one place, not sure yet. I've got new ideas for pieces I want to make and I have a vague idea on how to combine the sock pets and the jewellery together in some way so messing with stuff at the mo.
