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

    You're on a roll now. At this rate you won't have much more to sell.

    I did go to the Pound Shop and bought a stack of padded envelopes instead of buying them individually at the PO. Hopefully that'll help keep the postage down.

    Unfortunately it barely touches the surface :o. Or fortunately because it means we've still got loads to sell ;).

    We've got 2 houses worth of stuff in one, so hence my constant moaning about clutter. It will get there though!

    I always use poundland envelopes too, they are good value and help keep costs down.

    I won £2.50 on the lottery, woo hoo! I'll try not to spend it all at once :D

    I sold 3 items on ebay yesterday which have given me a hefty £5.97.

    One of my items I listed yesterday has a bid on it, and there are a few watchers too.

    We are off out for the day today, so not much will be done I'm sure.

    Hope everyone is well!

    Well done on the sales jwil :)

    Well done on your sales too peaceand freedom though it does sound like the buy it now option works better for you :)

    Thanks ebayqueen. I haven't decided yet whether I will keep it or sell it. I guess I'll decide when it arrives. A steamer has not been hugely on my wishlist, but then I don't really know what to do with them, and it would help with the healthy eating I'm sure.

    I've just sold another book on Amazon, so happy there as it's another £4.34.

    Hope you have some luck with your sales soon - how is ebay going for you?

    Hi jwil :D

    Hope the daily PAD thing works well for you :) I have found that once i get into a routine like this i have to keep it up so this make me start working out where the extra funds will come from for a PAD - helps to motivate me with e-bay and surveys etc. :)

    I am again doing the PAD this month and will probably keep aim to try and keep it up until the end of the year ;) I'll also be popping my August Plan on later - can't do it yet as OH has put a load of stuff in front of the cupboard with my diary in :undecided

    Oh and i will put the chicken recipe on later too :D

    Hope you have a good weekend :D

    Country chicken casserole for the slow cooker

    4 skinless chicken thighs - with the bone in
    1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
    2 sticks celery, finely chopped
    1 small onion peeled and chopped
    75g mushrooms sliced
    75g tin of sweetcorn (can use frozen)
    1tsp mixed herbs
    1/2pt chicken stock boiling
    1tbsp tomato puree
    seasoning
    1 bay leaf

    Pre-heat the cooking pot on high setting for 20 minutes.
    put all the ingredients into the cooking pot and mix, ensuring both veg and chicken are covered by the liquid.
    put the lid on and cook: high setting = 4-5 hours OR low setting = 7-9 hours OR medium/auto setting = 6-8 hours.
    Remove the bay leaf before serving.

    Add extra tomato puree towards the end of the cooking time as this will thicken the sauce.
