    Yup! :) But I guess it's some sort of karma for overbuying and then having to sell it on. What annoys me is that I have some summer clothes to sell, and I could have easily got rid during the past few months if I had got off my bee-hind and done it. :mad: Bad, bad Pickle!

    Well done on getting the debt down, and making (sort of) steps towards more ebaying :D

    I wish ebay was that simple dont you find you have to be in the right MOOD to do it. I have something on every weekend through September so something will have to give as I need to make some money.
    Well done on the new totals and £2k a month thats fantastic, just look at it in the long run how will you spend that 2 k when all your debt is gone, 1500 into savings and 500 on a fantastic long weekend every month and still plenty of change thats what keeps me going.
