    stu,
    just caught up with this and Im well pleased for you, you seem to be really going for it :T

    I take your point about ebay - god Ive got a massive box full staring me in the face here, must list at some point, but jeez is it boring innit! Never mind, moneys money, and you cant grumble when you see a full paypal. thats what im trying to tell myself anyway!

    best of luck there mate, glad things are looking up :D
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Just a thought do you use Turbolister when putting the things on ebay?

    Its a lot quicker that the other way.

    Sorry if this has already been posted

    James,

    never heard of it.. I will have a look when i put my next batch up.

    Another Update.....

    Been accepted for two 0% Credit Cards. Marbles & Egg, the combined limit of these is £5,500.00 so i can clear the A & L credit card and concentrate on paying the debt of rather than paying the interest. :)

    Need to sell that bloomin bike though. It will make such a dent as it is all bought and paid for and worth £5,500.00 - £6,000.00.

    Anybody got a credit card with £5.5k left on it that wants a new toy. :) Only joking!!!!!!!!!!

    Total Debt = £23,517.77 5-10-06 :mad:

    If you look on your account page of ebay its listed on the lefthand side possibly under tools.

    You then download it and its v quick at putting things on i use it all the time.

    Hi Stu - how is it going on E-bay?

    Also - are you on Pigsback and Quidco? They are good ways of earning money with virtually no spend - Quidco especially if you can buy stuff for work via the Quidco account.

    Also, maybe you could join the Grocery Challenge? Or the Make £1024 from Nothing Challenge? Both are on the Old Style Thread. There are also many threads on batch cooking which can save you a fortune in shopping AND time slaving over the stove after a long day's work...
