    What a day made £99.20 on ebay today on junk that i found around the house just what i needed for a good start to march. DH car needs a service and MOT so instead of paying on the cc I will use ebay money.
    What more incentive to get listing than an extra £100 a week if only every week was so profitable.
    Is it so wrong to be starting to count down to next payday just so I can see the debt go down.

    All I have been selling is clothes my son has grown out of some shower gels and body lotions you get in perfume sets they seem to go well. I found 3 old cartridges that i no longer need, anything that isnt nailled down really. I also have some books on amazon but they are slow to sell seems to come in waves very odd but runs itself.
    Im going to put all my cds on pc this week then sell the cds think i might try music magpie

    Music Magpie is good because they are sold at price seen - they pay p&p but the prices aren't great. However when you consider them as dust collectors and not as extensions of yourself and your past, then any price is better than nothing :)

    I am so determind to clear as much debt as quickly as possible because I know im going to miss my holidays this year but big debt means no holiday.
    I have a pile of things sat on the lounge floor waiting to be listed and every now and again I get a box and walk round the house collecting things to sell, quite amusing seeing DH and DS looking through it in case i have taken their stuff.:D

  • My DH goes thru the stuff I send to the dump to ensure I am not throwing any broken things belonging to him!!! I once had to throw out the same old coat 5 times!!

    I have a load of clothes to ebay but will do cd's etc first as they are so easy and you can fly through listings

    Not much to tell not done any extra ebaying so I dont think at this rate I will have any extra money for overpayments this month unles i get a move on.
    Wish DH would give up the fags that could be my overpayment :mad:
    Update on the company who approached me with a job they haven't come up with all the money I asked for but I was a bit cheeky (if you dont ask you dont get) but the hours dont fit as I have to get my DH to training 2 nights a week and I feel this is important so this morning I said thanks but no thanks so decision made:),then the email came "what hours would suit you?" so here I am again in turmoil
    Positive note got back running this week need to get those few pounds off they are creeping on and as I sold half my clothes so cant get any bigger not sure they would approve of me in my pj's at work.:rotfl:
    OK quick bath them an hour to sort some bits for ebay if I can stay off this site that long.

    Well done on the ebaying! I have loads of stuff that are no use and just gathering dust but I don't think you're allowed to sell husbands:rotfl:
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,
