Well done Claire on the weight loss.

Morning peeps

Bookie, hope tomorrow goes OK hun.

Today I will be looking into ways to raise some money. We need/want around £500 for a towbar and trailer. I've still never ebayed so need to think of other ways. Off to see if I've got any gold I could cash in :cool:

clairewop

why don't you put stuff on ebay spud? its easy, a bit time consuming but it brings money in.

beds made, downstairs tidied and floors swept having a sit down and a break before i tackle some more ironing.

I've got an irrational fear of ebay Claire, probably because I've read so many scare stories on here it put me off. It would be good if I could get to grips with it though, I have tons of stuff I could sell. I think if I had someone nearby who would sit with me while I listed some things I'd be OK.

*wishes she lived closer to Spud*

How about listing something inexpensive just to get you over the fear. I started off selling a computer game with a starting bid of 99p just so that if it all went mental I wouldnt be losing anything.

My best mistake yet? Posting two games which sold on the same day to the wrong buyers:eek: even that was sortable.

Did my first ever collection only sale the other day, had a wardrobe that i needed rid of. It will only take a couple of times to build your condidence Spud and I am sure DS and DD will help you:A

Ames

Spud, I could come over and help you if you want? Not sure when I could do it though, not for a couple of weeks I'm afraid.

Thanks girls.

Lou, I wish you lived closer too, not just to show me how to ebay

Ames, thats so kind of you but I'm pretty sure I could do it if I set my mind to it. As Lou says, DD and DS would get involved (i bet they already know more than me now)

I'll sort out what jewellery I have left, and maybe go sell that tomorrow. Just looking at Martins email that came this morning. It mentions Weebuy, but it seems to have security issues and my puter wont let me look.

If I get desperate, theres a shop locally that sells stuff on ebay on your behalf and takes a percentage. I could try that.
