    NLID - yeah know how you feel!
    having a bad morning already - just spent over an hour trying to list brand new (unopened) DVDs that were my FIL's, on Amazon - the prices are silly- there's no point in listing them at a more expensive price than what's already listed and when you work out what Amazon take - I'd get about 30-50p per DVD! And it's another hour wasted! - managed to list about 7 (8 others are going for silly prices so not worth listing) - if they sell they will give a profit of about 80p- 90p each!
    There is so much really good stuff in his flat (including loads more used DVDs which will probably end up at the charity shop) and DH is losing patience and is starting to want to junk it all! I can sort of understand - he's fed up and doesn't want to keep spending evenings/weekends doing it -and if you try to sell stuff - then it has to come home with us first, to our rather full-up little house!
    Another rant over.(sorry).

    If either MRS Money or evenstar have stuff they need to get rid of (and can't face ebaying/carbooting) that might be useful for Babymoos neighbours who survived the fire. she is only a PM away. any stuff that they can't practically used will be sold to raise funds both for the family and for the memorial for the 2 children.
    just a little reminder.

    Another rant over.(sorry).

    I know exactly how you feel - I just feel like im constantly ranting about something at the minute as basically life is starting to beat me down to the point I dont know if its worth contining fighting to pay off as much as I can - as is the honorable thing to do as I did borrow the money - or just to say f*#k you and declare bankrupt - Which is looking more and more attractive as all of my assets are being sold bit by bit and I am working my !!!! off 18 hours a day in the hope I can make payments month on month.

    My office is full of goods destined for eBay - from the 500+ items of makeup I can see destined, to the little paper shredder I would be lucky to get 99p + postage or the desklamp I may get a couple quid for.

    And this is just the start of it - I have receipts everywhere for postage which I can put through as a business expense - it just seams as though no matter how hard I get up and fight to do the right thing - which is the hard way to do things, yet honorable - The phone barely stops ringing from the creditors who want to stress me out more with threats of bankruptcy etc etc. I feel like calling there bluff and saying stop threatening and just do it scumbag. I am an emotional person - you may have seen the happiness of the first trial signup to eSellertools - or the joy of selling the first 3 lipfinit's this week (Now on 6 sold!) - My ability to laugh at myself when I have calmed down after a truly horrendous day - to the complete and utter lows of times like this when basically I either want to run to the corner and hide - or take a baseball bat to the face of the person on the other end of the phone, depending what they say.

    And that is only the start of what I could go into stressing me out :(
