A Budgeteers Quest to be Debt Free & Mortgage Free By 40

Morning DDFW

How are you today? What about your ebay and car? It will work itself out but it so stressful for you trying to find the remaining money. I wont officially be doing any challenges this month (sound like the queen:)) but will try and make a few pound here and there. Still in a funny mood but I will get motivated yet. Reasonable night on ebay yesterday grossed about £40 so not bad for a day. Hope your day goes well today and that your car sells real soon.

take care

Hi ebayqueen - it is nice to see you again I saw on another thread about the sad loss of your pet - i am really sorry to hear that and hope you are ok ((hugs)) You take the time you need but please pop on when you can just to let us know how you are x

Well done on your ebay sales too that is a nice chunk of cash :T

Yesterday it took me ages to list 15 (newly listed) items on eb*y and today i need to try and do 25 :eek: Kinda set myself a challenge of listing 100 newly listed items in the hope that some of it will sell and therefore raise some of the much needed funds. The trouble is of course that i have nothing set aside to sell - so i have to spend time rummaging around and finding stuff to try and sell too _pale_

Eb*y is just about the only way of dragging the extra funds in in a short space of time too but as you know, there is just no guarantee of things selling *If* the car sells this time that will obviously be a huge help But again isn't something that i can rely on. Again i have quite a few watchers but no-one has contacted me to arrange a viewing so am a little anxious over this too.


But - you are right ebayqueen - things will work out - for the both of us and we will have lots of good things come our way

DedicatedDFW

Going to list some more stuff on eb*y - will hopefully pop back on later.

Hope everyone is well. Had a bit of a rubbish day today. Ho hum.

Good luck with the listings DDFW, sorry to hear you've had a rubbish day ((hugs))

Hi DDFW

Sorry to hear you are under so much pressure hopefully you will get your listings sorted and be able to relax a bit. Try not to worry too much, its not good for you.

Thank you for your kind words about my pet...it was a bit of a shock and happened very quickly. Awful when you have to make the decision to have it put to sleep.

I have been in a strange mode these last few weeks but there has been alot going on since Sept/Oct and it has taken its toll on us all. I also had a health scare too and it certainly knocked me for six. Thankfully all has been sorted but shock does things to you and your body eventually responds to it and I think that is what has happened me. I will soon be back to myself very soon.

Keep going, you always get there DDFW and you will this time. Will be thinking about you.
God bless

Hi ebayqueen - it sounds like you have been coping with alot of things for a long time - really, really glad that the health scare you had is sorted out now but also understand that these things do have an impact on us for some time. If ever you want to PM me you know you can x Thank-you once again for your lovely kind and supportive words x

Sorry to hear about your pet ebayqueen, it's awful losing one. Glad your health scare has been sorted too, that is not nice to happen either.

It sounds like you've had a lot going on, take care of yourself.

Good Morning all

I thought i'd pop a little post on here and then get on with the photo's for the bay of e whilst the light is good. I have more things to find to list but that won't happen until later. A few things that i've listed have got watchers so thats good - just need those watchers to turn into bidders.

Also getting silly numbers of people watching my car - but still no contact about it

I also relisted alot of 99p items which obviously help if they go too.

No response from the non payer that i started the other day so we will wait and see on that one too.

Hi DDFW,

I do think that a lot of people don't bother looking at cars on ebay beforehand - like I said before, my DH sold two on there and no one came to look at either, he didn't look at the one he bought either. My Dad also bought a car without looking at it on there - I think it's fairly usual.

I know what you mean about the debt getting to you - it's a pain when you just constantly do all this work just to cover the bills. It will get better though.

Fingers crossed the car sells, then that will make a nice difference.

Good luck with the other sales too and the listings.

Thanks for the support jwil - i guess after last time when it didn't sell i just felt if someone did contact me about it then i would have more confidence it will go - although i know there is no guarantee at all with this either :undecided

I guess i'm just worrying about it all right now - looking at bills that are coming out, the fact that i can't borrow any money this month (like i did last month for car bill) so its all just about me raising a substantial amount of cash before the month end and the DDs go out

You are right - the car selling would ease everything. I'm listing alot more stuff later after my pitiful attempt yesterday - aiming to get to 40/100 of newly listed items. Also really hoping for free listing just to re-list everything that didn't sell last time. Then its just hoping things sell and buyers pay :cool:

Good luck for your sales too jwil and i hope everything is ok with you
