From Trash to Cash: Dribbling a river

Poosmate

Evening all, loving this thread! Thanks for all those links on the first page.

Forgive me I haven't read all 22 pages but Nixi I hope your son is getting better and makes a full recovery very soon.

Anyway, I thought I'd make a contribution.

This is not exactly a moneymaking site (well I guess it could be) but more of a "Make, How to... and DIY site. It's an American site and there are some pretty whacky ideas on it but check it out, there may be something on there that'll tickle your fancy, make you some cash or save you some money.

Thanks

Hey Alyssa... good to see you again!

Hi Poosmate! ta for the link.... I love that site....there are so many weird and wonderful things on there.... I could spend hours just browsing LOL!

Well, the D&V has struck OH.... well the D for now! So kids are in bed, lights out in 10 and a nice peaceful evening for me listing on ebay....

For any of you with more than one account I have found a quick and easy way of transfering listings between id's on TL..... Rather than bore you all with it, shout if you want to know.... MRS MONEY - thought it might help you!

Off to raid the cake tin, make a cuppa and onwards with the hard slog of TL

Thank you! What else can I say - the kind thoughts and good wishes from everyone, and especially the positive vibes are so appreciated. Jo thank you for the mini move. Sorry I missed your FB gathering - you are one of a kind and you deserve it!

Both DS and DD (who now has a temp ) are in bed, with Daddy cuddling DS, and now I have chance to actually stop and realise how scared I was.

Though at the same time I feel guilty for having possibly put my DS through all that for possibly nothing. I know that I did the right thing because it was in no way worth the risk. There was only one symptom of meningitis that he didn't have, and the potential consequences of that don't bare thinking about. The doctors and nurses were all fantastic in their support. They do such a wonderful job.

Our family has been been through the mill this weekend, it has taken its toll on all of us emotionally and physically. To come on here and see all the support from everyone is fantastic - even from Poosmate. Thank you all.

One thing I ask - is that please could anyone be careful what they write on FB to me for the next couple of days. MY OH is going to take tomorrow off work but I think we may be going to imply DS is still in hospital and a few of my FB friends are work colleagues of his and I don't want to cause issues. Tomorrow DS has to have his next lot (and hopefully last lot) of antibiotics and he screams through it, it takes about 40mins and we don't know yet if we have to go back to the hospital (which also be very traumatic for him) or if a nurse can come here and administer it. So OH is needed (and he needs the time to relax/regroup too) and I am not sure his work would be that understanding unfortunately.

Thank you all so much. I actually feel like I can breath again, though we actually aren't completely out of the woods yet, got to wait for Tuesday for the official all clear.

Right then Mrs Money.... download TL then

- Synchronise listings
- set up a new folder
- Then you need to go into your listing activity and select the items you want to transfer
- copy and paste all the new listings to the new folder
- Once this is done, highlight all the items and click on File > export selected items.... export to a CSV file....
- Then all you need to do is change user in TL to the id that you want the listings to appear and then File > import....

And viola! All done and dusted!! Took me about 20 mins (start to finish) with a bit of tweaking to do about 70 listings....

Well worth doing to save you time Mrs. Money....

I shall be hanging around all evening as I have more listings to sort so shout if you need any help....

Of course Nixi.... Daddy needs time to get his head round it all too!!


Elly - free listings til midnight!! Get listing!

Nixi so relieved to hear your news. I had a similar scare with my youngest when he was 6 months old. We were living in Germany at the time and they gave the poor little mite a lumber puncture. I don't think they do that now, it was 35 years ago.
