    OMG where has the morning gone? I've done absolutely nothing bar faff around on here and ring my family. Better get off and do something.

    See you all later!

    Well I pretty much wasted yesterday and did nothing productive all day! Grrr... Actually I decided to declutter my wardrobe, pulled it all out, was going to be really ruthless as I have a lot of clothes, but just wear the same few things over and over again. However, I did manage to put most of it back again, so not very ruthless after all!

    We've been booting this morning and sold over £100 worth of stuff so that's cool. I have a nice £26.20 to go towards my total now which was getting rid of a load of bits and some of the clothing I sorted yesterday.

    We sorted through what is left and a load is now off to charity. 5 boxes of books, and a load of other bits of bric a brac and stuff. That clears us room in the van so we can now sort through a load more stuff and clear a bit more! Yay!

    I was very good this morning, only bought 3 books - one was on the list, and I bought the other two to make it up to £3 for a £1. DH bought me a box set of Ally McBeal dvds as well - the complete 5 series for £12. I have one and a half series of these so will sell those and get some of the money back.

    Quite pleased overall, so now I am going to get off the computer and try not to waste this afternoon!

    Hope everyone's had a good sunday!

    Hee hee, with 400 items on there, you must be doing well :beer:
    I finally got around to listing 6 (yes, mind-blowing I know) items on ebay today. One item already has 4 people watching it so that's pleasing. It's the only item that I expect to fetch a good price, the others are just bits and pieces.

    Have loads more to do - but it's very time-consuming isn't it?

    Well done on 6 items being listed, it all helps! It does take ages to do doesn't it.

    Although I have the 400 items on there, most of it has been on there loads, so I don't sell that much each time. Usually a few books each time. Most of the stuff that is shifting has only been on there once or twice. I listed the books ages ago without photos, so refuse to stop trying to sell them until I've added photos, then I will know that they aren't wanted. I can never be bothered though, so they are on there forever!

    I haven't got the patience for ebay really, just hate ebay less than I hate the house being cluttered! :p

    Thanks for popping in o2bfree, I sometimes hate the amount of time I spend on the computer, but I love it when the amazon vouchers roll in. It's my guilt free spending. :) And when I've read the books I sell them again, so it's money raising for me too.

    I've almost made 10% of my £1000 target for this month :j

    Shame we're nearly half way through the month :o

  • Good work on the eBaying. I've had some things sell on eBay and amazon too (although nothing like your totals!)

    And thanks for the bingoport tutorial too - although like o2bfree I don't think I've got the patients to do that every day.

    And we're only a third of the way through the month - there's plenty of time to make your target (particularly if you're looking a £50 a day!)
