  • Hi All

    Im back (again) - had quite a productive day - one website almost built, pricing put into place and ready to launch once I have my english double checked

    but it only adds up to 20 out of the 28 things on my list :(

    and I still need to finish the paying part of the cart - but thats easy(ish) as I will take it from eSeller Tools

    Another major update went onto the product side of eSellerTools - am now working on interface work ready to put the auction lister side of things live..... Also have all the data structures ready for the other import tools within the suite - and I am already crying at the thought of whats next in the list of things to do - it is Hard work!
    £4142.49/ £131,795.91 - 3.14% paid off or only £129,608.80 to go!
    Debt free by Xmas 2015: #182 £1955.38/£4435.51 (44.08%)

    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    Evening all, oops technically I suppose it's morning.

    Just wanted to say hi to you all and that I think you are all a great bunch on this thread.

    I used to post a lot on the DFW board but I only visit one thread on there now (Please Advise... It's All Gone SO Wrong!). Now THAT's an epic tale - and he's been on TV (The One Show) and will be appearing on DIY SOS The Big Build soon too. What is it with MSEer's and going on the telly!? Good luck Joey (it is Joey isn't it with the RSPCA cat). Sorry I have a hopeless memory!

    Anyway, it's great to find a place with so much positivity, even in the face of adversity and to see that people can up their income and beat their debts or just up their income! Just as I was beginning to despair of the MSE Forums, I find this little gem.

    Thank you all for being you and restoring my faith.

    morning everyone.
    just a quick one to say one of the watchers has made the initial bid of £200 for my mountain bike, it's now on 45 watchers. Lets hope there's a frenzy on friday.
    :-)
    Hi Poosmate, glad you like us. I absolutely adore this thread and rarely visit any other these days. What I find so good about it is, there is a perfect balance of motivation and encouragement not only for upping your income but for all the things that go on around it too, that four letter word that often gets put to one side, life.
    Damn, I've woken up philosophical, right I'm off back to bed.

    Elly,

    not sure if these are any good.
    I got my clothes rails at argos,
    they are very easy to assemble and take apart, sturdy enough for when they are full ( i don't use the wheels so they sit flat on the floor)
    and they are so cheap £8 each or two for £13

    you can get grey, black or pink.

    Morning All,
    First day in work with the face! No too bad just feels a bit tight and sore.

    Joey – Fantastic news! Well done on the interview I am sure it will be fantastic! Well done you!

    Em – watched that programme on BBC1 it was great very inspiring, lots of good advice about branding. Me being a design nerd seeing the brand redesign was my favourite part.


    Poosmate - I love your post, I had been very doom and gloom approaching my debts. And without being cheesy being part of the dribblers has been life changing, many dear friends have been made, great ideas hatched, and great laughs shared. I didn't post for a week and got serious withdrawl. Whenever I come here through highs or lows, I always leave the thread with a smile on my face.


    [FONT=&quot]As for me, just going to knock on with my to-do list and just stay calm and positive. Been trying to make sure that I don’t stress out and keep my focus, also trying to make sure I am as organised and dedicated as I can be![/FONT]
