    Evening all. Hope you're all well - I've not posted for ages! I'm declaring tonight at a pathetic total of £20.71 !!!!!

    I've got a bit sloshing around in Paypal, but it's been a pretty poor month all round. And I've been really manic at work which hasn't really helped. Oh well, I've got a few plans for March, so will sign up on the new thread. It's pay day today, so have been shifting my money around, I always enjoy that!
    March 2016 - £178,914.59; July 2017 £146,160.38
    Mortgage end Sept 2043; Target - pay off by March 2022, now Sept 2021
    Target balance July 2018 £112,560

    Just made 87p on tikki fishing,although laptop is playing up and shut down in the middle of the game. I have a new laptop but had to rebuild it and haven't been able to reconnect to the internet. Must sit down and give it a go today.

    Have an item on ebay, with a bid and 3 watchers, ending soon... so hopefully will earn a little bit more on that.

    Took pics yesterday of stuff to sell on ebay, would prefer to sell elsewhere but really need to shift the stuff.

    One of my customers offered me some stock yesterday to sell on ebay, we didn't discuss how much I would gain from doing it for her, but told her at the moment I just cannot do it. But the quicker i get my stuff listed and sold, the quicker I can do hers!
