I think that it's a nice picture, whenever a camera gets pointed in my direction some old fat bird, very rudely pushes her way in front of me. She follows me waiting to pounce.
10/10 for such a little cutie.
Hopefully you'll soon get a definitive diagnosis, a bit poo for a child to have to watch his diet but at least his bread etc will be on free scripts.
I was in a garden centre recently & spent ages admiring all the lovely wooden toys, skipping ropes etc.
Those buckets would make nice planters as well I think, can't beat a bit of nostalgia.
If grit & determination are how people make a success of a project then it will work out well for you. You've been like a terrier with a bone, gnawing away at your debts.

I don't think you're allowed to are you? Can't you put a follow us on twitter or facebook on there though? Then link to the website?
Are you sending a comp slip with ebay orders with the web address on?
could you set up an auto message so that when someone buys through ebay you offer free or reduced p&p if they order from your website at the same time, or offer a discount of ? amount on next order from the website?

Well my 2 books that I've been trying to find, have finally come across 1 in an American library, the other one doesn't seem to exist. Please tell me someone that I'm probably sat on a fortune. How to go about selling them.

Welcome, hopefully you can bring some enthusiasm to our sometimes slightly jaded outlook.
£180 will soon be paid off & then you can start in earnest to save for Uni.

I have managed to get a heap of tea chests from Freecycle, picking them up later, hopefully they will make it easir to sort my stuff out & get the ebay room clearer. I think that because my house is so full of stuff it's really hard to stay upbeat.
I really need to actually read the Flylady emails daily instead of filing them when they come through.
At the moment I have 9 boxes of books in the lounge along with about 5 piles of them. I can't do a few at a time, when I decide that I'm going to sell something I get every thing out at once. I need a housewife, or husband.
The weather's so good I want to be gardening instead of indoors.
Good luck everyone.
OOOh I wonder if there'll be a free listing day this week. That will be nice as lots of the books are on Amazon for £10 plus and I can't sell there now as I have no credit card now. I will try the paypal pre paid, when I find it.......

Yeah, I'm just off to collect 12 tea chests, now I can get organised.

Old tea chests at that they are beautiful, almost as lovely as my courgette seedlings the day they popped up to see me.

Now I'm p'd off again, I've got an ad on Gumtree because I need a dog & it's been deleted, looked on the website & sometime a suspicious ad gets reported etc & they take it off while they check it out. I really cannot see how that would be suspicious, unless it's because I've put it in 2 cities. All the scam ones that are in every city, same bl00dy flat pic & details getsd left on. How will I get a dog without an ad GGRRR, now I don't need one, I can just act like one,

Thanks for the welcome (Delayed reply I know!)......Hope you manage to get all your stuff cleared and on ebay and hope the tea chests have helped to organise more! ..... My problem is i won't have that much, i do have a fair bit to get rid of but i'm one of these ones that hate clutter and bin things then feel sooooooo guilty because they could easily go on ebay or freecycle so it's been my new years resolution to not bin anything unless it really is on it's last legs! Lol .......Listed 13 items today And sold 8 that ended yesterday :j

Ive got some of the £1160 that we need to pay, but desperately need some more pennies!!! lack of motivation and inspiration is one of the reasons ive joined this challenge, I sooooooo need a kick up the backside, so please, if anyone wants to, feel free to give me a good hard kick!:rotfl: I have ebayed before but never had much luck with DD's clothes for some reason, and they look like new!!!!!!!! so Im going to try and sell them in bundles this time and see if thats better. Whats the best time to list stuff? I heard is was a thursday/friday night and listings should be 10 days, is that correct? I really need some helps peeps, thanks

*KICKKKKKK* lol......I've just joined in the challenge as well :j I'm sure when you sell a few things and get to pay more off the debts that will keep you motivated :T Hope you get lots of stuff sold ! And good luck

Hi

I've not been getting e-mail notification that people have posted so am a bit behind.

I've been concentrating more on my Business account, last week I got Bronze Powerseller status and the day after Top Rated Seller status so it's all systems go, have sold quite a few things but am hoping this week I'll sell more now I'm a TRS. Got some more stock coming on Tuesday so this week will concentrate getting that listed on Tues and Wednesday, sorted out a lot of the kids clothes so need to 'try' and iron those and get those done maybe towards the end of the week.

Sold a couple of Personal items today.

Nice to hear you are back and listing again mrscmr - would love to see your website, are you able to PM me the link? Thanks

TMD

If you want to talk to anyone about being a coeliac send me a pm. I was diagnosed around 16 years ago and have been gluten free now for years.
