I tend to be up until 3 tmd; it's a case of needing some quiet time and as my youngest doesn't go to sleep until 12/1am, it means going to bed early/late to get it!

Didn't do too much yesterday..managed to do the photos and add some books to Amazon.

Have found a collection of various coins that belonged to my f-i-l; has anybody got any experience in selling these? Some are clearly going to be common i.e. Diana and Charles wedding coin but there are others that I've really no idea about. Suggestions please?

Off to the seaside in a moment so won't be doing anything today as will back very late.

Hope everyone is ok.

Wow Floxxie I thought I was bad going to bed at 12am/1am, I must admit I do feel quite tired in the mornings, luckily OH is on the late shift this week so gets up with the kids and I lie in until 9am.

Which seaside did you go to? If we got to the seaside for the day it's normally to Bognor Regis. My favourite beach and seaside town is Weymouth, I would love to live near there one day.

Took kids to the library this afternoon to pick some DVD's and a couple of books then we walked back via the park, came back and watched Charmed for 2 hours on TV, had dinner and they are now watching Hoodwinked - I hate this film OH bought it in Tesco a few years ago I was really ill with flu and they kept watching it over and over again so I'm not too keen on it.

I'm planning to start trying to go to bed by 11pm next week tmd; although I did try it several weeks ago and found it really difficult.

We went over to Sheringham, Norfolk today and spent far too much. I really need to take control of our finances :mad:

Good luck trying to go to bed earlier next week. I am still up, DD2 woke up coughing again about 10pm and is asleep on the settee, I don't feel tired at the moment so am listing some Business stock, DD3 just got up and came down too, OH is useless he doesn't hear anything, had to change her nappy and then she went back to sleep so that was OK.

Glad you had a good day, I need to concentrate on paying the rest of my credit cards off, going to start doing a Payment a Day again.

Hope you sleep well, hopefully when I finally do get to sleep DD won't start coughing again, not sure what makes her cough in the evenings, very strange.

Well update on ebay...... I have three boxes down form the attic that I am going to list today & tomorrow.... All old/vintage clothes..... I have sold a fair bit on the ebay free listing day... Just checked & I have had payments two of them are from abroad not a problem but it says on my listings to contact me before auction end! I am also worried as one of the items is a piece of jewellery & I was sending via special is there a way I can post & get full tracking & have it insured ??

Many thanks

Really, really bad couple of weeks for me, I was feeling sh1tty anyway. My dear beloved dog had a bad leg, last Monday he became really ill & he had to be put to sleep last Tuesday, I am absolutely devastated, my third dog to have to go in 2 1/2 years.
A few things sold from the FLD, I think £94. After fees that will almost pay the crematorium fees.
The car had to be Mot'd last week & taxed, insurance runs out on Saturday so will probably have to take it off the road for a couple of weeks. Got loads of advisory's on the mot to be done as well.

I am so sorry about your dog, it is such a hard thing to do, we had our dog put to sleep in Sept 2006, he was old and his back legs were going and he was very unhappy, I was so devastated. It might sound strange but I've asked for his help on a few occasions since then and he's always answered me so I know he is watching over me.

I hardly sold anything on the FLD, was very disappointed sold 2 things out of about 30, will have to relist them all now at 99p.

I was very surprised how well I did on the FLD , over 2/3rds of what I listed sold and some had more than one bidder.

Sorry hermum; that's very sad about your dog. I remember when my dog was put down :-((

Sold five items out of loads on the FLD and out of those two people haven't paid yet :mad:

Might relist some tonight and then some new ones tomorrow although I have an assignment to write so that needs to take priority at the moment (but so do my debts :eek:)
