    I've boxed up 3 banana boxes full of books (approx 250 :eek:) which will go to boot sale if none sell on ebay this week.

    I've also listed three items on Turbolister to add later. It's playing up, so when I list them I need to change the categories on two items, as Turbolister was crashing each time I tried to change it.

    Jwil, your energy and activity is making me feel quite dizzy, well done on all your hard work and on the win! :beer:
    I have still got lots of work, which I'm pleased about. Sold something on ebay but for very little - it was a relist as well so I estimate my profit on that to be approximately zero. :o

    That was a straightforward auction - going back to Buy it Now, it's the most reliable way for me.:)

    My feedback has edged up to 66 and I've found some more stuff to list, determined to reach 100 by the end of the year.

    Hmmm, I think I've been seriously lacking in energy today, haven't done half as much as I'd planned. I'm quite excited about the win though, even though it wasn't the kindle which I was hoping for. I never win anything!

    Glad work is still going well, that's great news. Well done on the ebay sale, shame it wasn't a fortune!

    I'm sure you'll soon be at the 100 feedback!

    Wow, since June 2010 I have paid over £10k towards my debts. Why are they still so high :eek:

    Wow well done on the 10k. Are you still using the credit, if so, that's why it's not going down so fast. I took the brave decision to cut my cc up :eek: and I can now see inroads into it.

    Congrats on all your Ebay and Amazon sales, I'm obviously not meant to be an Ebay seller. I sold two items the other week and the amount I charged for pp didn't cover it. One day I'll get the hang of it :rotfl:

    I know why it's so high really - until I refinanced, pretty much all of my debt repayments were interest - there was barely anything going to the balance at all. I was paying £700 per month, and lucky if the balance was going down by £50 :eek:. It should be a bit better now.

    Yes, I have used the CCs since :o. I try not to, but I don't have anything if an emergency happens, so I don't want to get rid of all of them yet. You are right though, that things would move quicker if I cut them all up! Well done on getting rid of yours though!

    Well done on your ebay sales - I still mess up postage periodically as well, so it's not just you :rotfl:Once I sold some books, and it turned out I actually paid the person to buy them from me :D

    Yesterday I listed another two books on amazon, and today I have listed 73 items on ebay between me and DH.
