Hey NL I downloaded it by a few suggestions in Mrs PG's thread when I was having weight problems. I don't use it all the time just when I'm having problems to track what I eat and my exercise to help me feel better, don't forget to include those important pooch walks.
I hope you're feeling better soon.HSBC CC - £3000 / £3000

I am wondering if you can do all the picture taking and listing write ups and save without posting until a free weekend comes up and then you can just list them all at once.
*delurking*
Yes you can - write your listing as normal, but instead of starting the listing immediately, schedule it for a time later on in the month (I always do the latest possible date). It tells you it will charge you 6p for this, but doesn't charge you unless you actually use the scheduled listing. Then on the next free listing weekend, you just go in to each listing and edit it to start immediately, that adjusts the charge back to zero.
If by some chance there is not a free listing in the time period that you have scheduled, you can just adjust it again to a later date.
I hope that's clearer than mud

jwil thank you this is very useful. I can likely cope with photoing and reviewing 1-2 items a day but when I look at a daunting pile of 50 things, I can find anything else to do but that xMortgage: £280,752/ £262,515.84

I am on myfitnesspal - bet you can't guess my user name!!!!
You can spend ages playing with what you *might* eat so you can adjust food choices. Biggest problem for me is DH - he will eat / buy / make "treats" by the bucket so they become everyday ..... that and I no longer do a quarter of the exercise I used to so oddly my weight has increased.
If you chose to use MFP look me up (and then send me a PM telling me how to do this as I can't work it out)Start info Dec11 :eek:

Hmm..this myfitnesspal sounds interesting..I need some motivation. Not so worried re the weight, am fairly lucky that way, but want to feel as if I can run for a bus without collapsing!
Keep on truckin" NL...well done on postng the EBay piles. OH and I are using our day off to list some more things and pack up others.. Also were waiting in for a B[ engineer but mysteriously the system has developed an error:mad:
Open%each cant find the job and so after 20 minutes on the phone (luckily a freephone number) I am now in a queue to have a rescheduled appointment. If I ran a service like this I'd be broke..(well I am!! but you kow what I mean!)
Smallsilver lining..they gave me a £10 credit...so thats something I guess. But I refuse to wait in on a Saturday so reckon it'll be March before they get me at home again!!
laters and hope you're in a good palce after your walk NL! Have a virtual :coffee: cup of brew on me!
