    Totally failed this month for the first time ever. Not sure why. I think it's because I'm just not focused yet this year; resolve to do better next month. Have a ton of stuff to ebay, although I loathe ebay at the moemnt. I've had nothing but trouble with the last few batches of stuff I put on.

    Declaring £185.84/310 - its been a rubbish month basically because I have had lots of NSDs and havent made much free money at all. Hopefully February will be a bit better whereas March maybe a bit slow due to being away for a week.
