    I have had a strange weekend - very busy (and expensive!) Hassled dh about sorting cd's to list but with no success. However, he has promised to sort out the garage this week, so going to save my listings for next week - not in your league yet, but will go for 25 new items next week plus any re-lists! Still waiting for most of my items to end - so I'll update you later :)

    Well done on listing more. Generally disappointing sales, lots of non-sellers, convinced it is because of Mothers Day, so relisted them all (because smart you told me to list at 99p and then no fee and no relisting fee).

    Two I relisted yesterday already have bids, so therefore a worthwhile exercise. WILL list 25 this week. Nothing finishing until Thurs now - won't know what to do with myself!!

    Fantastic news on the ebay sales, I thought i had got rid of all my good stuff but managed £135 on 44 items this weekend and have relisted some that didnt sell and another 50 items would be nice to see another £100 next weekend but I doubt it.
    I now have 119 listed and will try for 25 during the week just to keep it ticking over, i just hate the listing bit bit love watching bids and money coming in.
    I am paying my fees straight away as dont want to forget and get a surprise bill next month
    They say money goes to money lets hope are sales are the start of something big like 50k each, well we all have to dream

    New Challenge for me as i need to lose 7 lbs before we know it summer will be here and the shorts and t shirts hide nothing.
    So i have weighed this morning and at the end of march I hope to be 4lb lighter, it does seem a bit strange when we are all here trying to save £££ im now trying to lose lbs isnt the english language strange.
    Overnight 1 bid in ebay and 1 sale on amazon, could this be the start of something big this week
    12 days until payday have a good Monday all :)
