  • Running!!!! Unfortunately I don't have the chest to run, although I wish I did :)

    The books are only listed for 99p but at least with e-bay you can state the postage so your not selling at a loss.

    My plan was to stay in tomorrow but I'll have to venture out to the post office now to post my sales. Still mustn't grumble I must think of all the pennies I'm making.

  • Have just made an extra payment to Shapely for £12. This is all the money I had in my money making account :( I've got one DD which is due out on the 6th April and I'm hoping once that has come out there'll be a few pounds left over. Am still waiting for one payment of £5 from Amazon and £8 from Paypal and have also sold a few things (another 2 things this morning :)) Once everyone pays for the items I'll get straight onto transferring the money and get that into the shapely account as well. Think I'll list another 10 hardback books today. Got no interest in the ones I listed yesterday but maybe as time goes by someone will decide to buy.

  • Woohoo on a roll just discovered £9.26 left over in my tax credits account so have transferred £9 to Shapely. I'm leaving myself with absolutely nothing but if I don't have anything then I can't spend anything. Balance down to £122.44 :)

  • Have got 48 items currently listed on e-bay and only 2 watchers. I did only put the items on yesterdat so maybe I'm being slightly premature but I don't really have the patience to sit around and wait. I want people to start bidding straight away. Should have cheque off OH tonight so once that's cleared I'm planning on making another payment to Shapely :)

  • E-bay is dead slow at the moment. Where are all these people who NEED to buy my stuff off me :)

    Another NSD for me today, it's so cold out it's actually a benefit to stay in. Got no money coming fro anywhere today so no extra payments being made. I did have my cheque off OH last night so that will be posted off to the bank tomorrow and hopefully cleared by the weekend so I can make another payment to shapely.

  • Well I've packed up all the sales from the weekend and they are ready for DD to take to the post office. Back to work today and even though I love my job I really don't want to go back today.

    Have been through the bank accounts this morning and they are looking pretty grim. 0.18 in one 0.24 in another and 2.15 in the Halifax. Am still waiting for a few deposits from Amazon and PayPal so hopefully they'll come through over next few days and I can make some extra payments. Also got to pay in cheque from OH and will be able to pay a fair few pounds off Shapely out of that. I should be able to scrape £50 together between all of that but don't think I'm going to get it paid off before the 10th as originally planned. I'm hoping that I'll hear something about the £48 charges this week, that would be a mssive help at the moment and with the £50 would almost pay the whole debt off. Wouldn't that be fantastic :)
