    I propose a simple eBay challenge.

    Bronze: £25
    Silver: £50
    Gold: £100
    Platinum: £150


    I didn't think I'd have time to put things on Ebay but tonight I forced myself (I find it mind-numbingly boring!). I listed 8 things and that took all night so I'm having a rest now. I might force myself to add some more tomorrow too. I'm not sure I'll even get to the bronze level, can I create a new level? I propose Tin: £10 and that will be what I aim for :D

    Do you have any of Bethan's old things? I'm mainly selling my son's baby shoes (not his first pair, they're in my special stuff box). We've got a few that are still brand new and they seem to be quite popular. I've got some brand new Peppa Pig slippers that have 5 bids already, with 9 days left. I'm pleased, as we bought the slippers without DS with us, then realised they were too small and never got round to taking them back. At least this way we're getting some of the cost back.

    Well done nickybo on your ebay bids, i`m slowly getting a pile together, it`ll be september before i have enough to list, i hate going to post office dont know why....

    I have gone back to bingoport again, hoping to get some amazon vouchers for DS xmas present, i bought him driving experiance using amazon. And there wont be enough for xmas pressie, but every little helps.

    I`ve had a visitor here for five weeks and when he`s gone....soon i hope...he was coming for 2 weeks.....i am going to knuckle down and get my presents sorted. I been collecting odds, but need a good think.

    I have made some xmas cards and crafty things so think i`ll have a craft fair and try and get some spare pennies and have a shopping day.

    So mission......september is D Day....we`ll see

    No, we're saving everything of her's that can be worn again (anything that can't be has been thrown - no one would want their baby wearing them! lol) for a future baby in a few years time. After THAT baby though, you won't be able to stop me on ebay! lol

    Haha, you'll make a fortune in a few years then! We're saving most of the baby stuff that is in a decent condition, we have lots of binbags in the attic with various age labels stuck on. The shoes I'm selling are mainly baby shoes that we received as well-meaning gifts, but I wouldn't put his little feet in as they looked to restrictive. I'm very fussy with his shoes, clothes I buy anywhere and I'm quite happy to have second hand clothes too, but his shoes I only ever get from places like Clarks. We tried very politely telling people this but we still ended up with about a dozen pairs of baby shoes we didn't use!

  • Well Ive managed to get up to 15 reviews on shopping.com. Need to try and rack my brains on what to search. Once I think of something useful I manage to find a few reviews I can but Im struggling to find the useful thing in the first place! Seen on their facebook groups that they are making a payment for reviews already completed after bank holiday, so that means people will get some of their money sooner!
