    Oh Jwil I know what you mean. Boring or what but think of the money:) only thing keeping me sane. I want to get some work done to my home and it will cost about £3/400 ... waiting on the joiner to come back with a price. So that is my challenge for the month.

    Well done on getting rid of 3 more boxes:)

    keep typing

    Thanks ebayqueen - good luck with meeting your challenge this month - I do find they keep me focussed a bit more.

    I have listed 10 items on ebay between me and DH. Had another item that I was going to list (a rug kit we inherited) but when I opened it, decided it was quite funky so am tempted to try and make it :o Not sure I've got the patience so it may get listed at a later date.

    We've also photo'd another 2 boxes of stuff which I will try and do one of them at least during the week.

    Just the relists to do later and some sales to wrap.

    You are very good Jwil

    I have absolutely listed nothing today .... am really exhausted. The last few weeks have caught up with me but I do intend to list some tonight for 5 day listing ... some for 3.

    You get good money for those rug kits as I am sure you know Jwil :)

    Good to have all those pics taken in advance.

    Take care

    Thanks ebayqueen, it's catching up with me now too. I'm shattered! Just doing the relisting now and then I'm off for the night.

    There is potential for the rug kit, but I do really like it, and I'd like some rugs to cover our horrible 70s carpets - so it could be a good thing if I can be bothered to make it, but there is still the option of selling it if I don't.

    Weird. DH sold something two weeks ago for minimum bid (£2.99). The buyer didn't pay so it was relisted. Today someone has bought it for nearly £30 :eek::eek::eek:

    I'm a bit worried though, as that is well over the odds for the item, DH has sold them before and only for around the minimum bid so I have no idea what is going on.

    The bidder is now winning something else at a high price too, so I'm hoping he's not timewasting.

    Fingers crossed it all goes through ok!

    Hi Jwil

    Did your seller pay up?

    Just had a sneaky peek, and they have :T. Weird though - I won't be comfortable until they leave feedback or the 45 days pass.

    I'm feeling shockingly bad today. I literally had about 2 hours sleep last night, and had to be up at 5.30am anyway. I've been practically dropping off at my desk :eek:

    Got some stuff going out on ebay tonight, so will have some funds there soon, and sold 2 books on amazon yesterday so have £10.34 to start me off for this month.
