Well you're doing better than me- I've only just managed to get myself dressed! Here's a big KICK to get the photos done and I want you back on here later to tell us you've done them :-)

( I'm getting worryingly good as this bossy stuff- perhaps I should list some shoes and get myself my own 'dog'!)

I spend all my time being in total admiration for all of you! So far, I've managed to get one child dressed this morning and that's only because he was sitting in a pooey nappy. I keep going up and down with depression, so getting anything done is such a major effort for me........anyway I did commit to getting 10 things listed on Ebay by tomorrow, which is such a tiny amount compared to some of you, I really must get my act together today, it's sunny here so perfect for photos.....god I need a good kicking!!!

That's more Ebaying than I've done this week, and it's on my weekly commitments list! Hugs for the depression, it's such a pain - this thread has really helped me too, when I've been down with it. It's a horrible thing. Have a good day

ATTENTION ALL EBAYERS!!

Sorry for the caps but got an email this morning from Parcels2go, all EBay parcels sent out by courier on Monday will be 99p,sure there are ts&cs, but for those who have items ending today, might mean that the extra postage charged can be naughtily added to the pot!

Hi, am thinking of filling the cd rack with home-made bath bombs and calling it a toiletries holder, wasn't very clear about the bathroom bit sorry, and only just thought of the bath bombs! Could promote that they're 'freshly made' and put on for thirty quid or is that very pricy? It's a complete one-off, charity shop find, will be looking for more things to 'do up' as it's good fun, not sure about profit margins though, I mean would you pay thirty quid for that, filled with pink (rose) and cream (dunno yet), cellophane-wrapped bath bombs?

If you haven't had them lab tested you may want to check where you stand legally with selling HM bath bombs. I know I can only make my soap for me/friends/family as to sell I'd need to get lab certification on it and TBH I can do without the hassle. If you haven't had them tested and someone comes up in a reaction to them you could find yourself in hot water (no pun intended).

Did some market research on current customers yesterday - not promising tbh. These people have been at me for ages to expand a particular product and yesterday came up with loads of reasons to probably not buy it. :mad: Anyway, may have saved me going off up a blind alley.

Off scouting a new area in a bit as DD has a stinking cold so I don't have to sit at music workshop for 3 hours. Will be looking at leaflet/poster opportunities while I'm out.

See y'all later.

Thanks Cally, prob should have added them too, but trying to nab the MS date before someone else does, have email notification and there is another MSer who must sit on PC all day as they go within 2 secs of being put up. I won the race this time, another £25 in the pot when I get paid for it!

I may do. Although I wouldn't have a clue what to write...I can dribble for England, but writing people actually want to read? No chance, lol!

Saucy - youhave a fantastic opertunity just about to happen to you.... the trials and tribulations of moving overseas!! Write about your experiences of moving, fitting in with the locals, learning spanish, the food etc...... Add some tips on how to overcome this problem and that problem..... I should imagine that it would be a big help in time to someone in your situation..... Oh, and theres always the comedic value of the inlaws!!

Another quick question - someone suggested selling baby/kids clothing via Net Mums (if I recall correctly) - I had a quick look but it only seems to be secondhand goods, can I sell new/handmade, does anyone know?

Toots x

I think you can sell most things but TBH I think for new/handmade there are probably better places like ebay, etsy etc etc

Saucy - if could invent a time machine or a brain eraser, then not only would you help but you would also make millions

SOLD!!! Money - I am in complete admiration of you too! You not only manage to raise four kids on your own (I struggle with two and an OH, mind you he is pretty childlike most of the time!), run a business, inspire and motivate me and still manage to have a sense of humour......

YOu are one special lady, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Cally - I have PM'd you

Well, the last couple of days have been soooo busy, but with general life not earning any money! The sales of my bits on ebay have pretty much stopped so today I will list some of them as auctions to try and start it all up again.....

I will also get started on photographing the kids clothes, bundles mainly as I want to get them listed before they bring in the capped P&P for clothes. The single items will be okay but bundles are heavy!!

Other than that I need to get on top of my washing as I can't move in my bathroom for dirty clothes:o

Why does life always get in the way of what I want to do????

Pop back later Mambury

watch out as this is delivered by HDN who are pretty rubbish at getting things right..... I have had two parcels go missing with them and P2G are pretty rubbish when things go wrong too.....

It may be fine for you, but I thought I'd let you know...

I have decided not to use P2G any more because of the problems I had....
