    Hi MinniMe!
    I tried the 5 day postings on Ebay, it only worths though if it ends on a Sunday evening, otherwise just waste of time and money. I find that ebay is not as good as it used to be, sold 8 things last week but just for pounds, I didn't get much (which is more than nothing, I should have thrown away anyway most of it). Good luck with it.
    Have a nice day
  • Just realised you had a diary! I know you asked about them and how useful they were, but didn't know you had started one.

    I find mine useful for just reminding me how far I've come. Note to self, must update diary!!

    Anyways, good luck with the diary.

    Thanks Keza, liottle milestones make it easier for me to keep motivated - we will ALL get there!

    Thanks for the info Kavics - I think to be honest I will leave ebaying until the new year now, I sold the few things that I knew would make a couple of pounds so will probably box up the rest for another time as I will be moving in Jan!

    Gilly - I know what you mean, the diary is making sure I remember to do small things, and lets face it they all add up!

    Well, christmas party last night and I managed to spend....£16 :) really pleased at keeping the spend down.

    Managed to write another review on Dooyoo yesterday as well, will try for another today and have a look at MS to see if there is anything going.

    Hope everyone is well - its bloomin freezing here!

    I am happy with ebay at the moment, sold 12 items in the last couple of weeks. ONly books don't want to sell, don't really know what to do, I think I'll leave it for a while as well. I'm way behind Dooyoo, had a couple of suggestions accepted but haven't had the energy to write the reviews yet:).

    It's cold here In London too, snowing at the moment! Have a good day!

    12 items is good going kavics, I know how you feel about books though, i have loads I would love to shift but seems pointless for the 50p you get on amazon

    My problem is with new books, got a couple of duplicates (like the whole twilight series+some kids books) on a competition and put it on ebay for a bit than half price but no one is interested? I know they are in demand as I can see it on ebay people buying them but somehow no one wants to buy mine. So we'll see. Yes, I'm pretty chuffed with the rest, lots of old clothes I haven't been wearing for years-still need to list a couple but wait now as with Xmas many people will go for the sales rather than online.
