Well done on your sales DDFW. Hope you feel a bit better soon, and get out for a day. Sometimes it can make all the difference

Have a good day

Ta jwil They are all small value items but at least they will be out of the house and money will be coming in

I am running out of items to list for sale now though - so another look in my wardrobe may be order although each time i've done that lately i've felt i've whittled it down as far as it will go :eek:

Woke up early today and in pain - under my arm of all places ?! How does that happen ?! Mind you it has given me trouble on and off for a while just not usually this bad - writing was difficult earlier because of it

Currently feeling the debt is being reduced very slowly And trying to think of ways to get extra money in - or even when the next amount of money will come in so i can reduce what i owe :think:

I didn't get the 2 rooms done at the weekend due to feeling ill again - but i did make a start - what i'm going to do is when i feel up to it is get up and move something and then lie down again as i start to feel bad again and chip away at it like this :cool:

I did manage to do a little reading yesterday - just a few pages but its the first time in a while i've been able to switch off for long enough on everything else going on and lose myself in a few pages so that was good

Hi DDFW, glad you had some time to read over the weekend

That's weird about the pain though, maybe get it checked out if it continues? I think your lymph nodes are in the armpit, so maybe with you feeling a little under the weather recently they've become inflamed a bit.

You are doing really well with the debtbusting, and going down slowly is better than not going down at all, though I appreciate it is very annoying

Hope all is well otherwise, and I shall join you in the thinking of new ways to raise cash

Hi ddfw

I was thinking lymph nodes too, your body is probably fighting an infection. I would get yourself checked out. I'm glad you enjoyed your reading. Why don't you try and allocate 20/30 pages at a time and it will ease the stress you are under.

You are doing so well and its difficult not to get impatient when you want the debt gone.

Keep going ... DF is getting closer by the day:)

Thanks jwil and ebayqueen

I don't know if it would be lymph nodes - it is only under 1 arm ? But i am sure it is something that will pass in a few days

I got a couple of awkward jobs out of the way today - really need a name for them - really don't like to think of them as frogs - _pale_ These are those jobs that need to be done but that always seem to be put off and can take any amount of time but you feel so much better once they are done

I cancelled a store card today - basically got it for the free gift paid the balance in full before i even received the card and finally got around to cancelling the card today :T

Shredded a load of paperwork that is no longer needed - including all the stuff relating to my old savings account :T

Got a letter written and posted off too :T

Got some other things done too but didn't get around to writing 2 / 3 letters that i *need* to do - basically wasn't up to doing anything more like that so these jobs will roll over *again* but they *have* to get done this week :cool:

I've sold a couple more bits on the bay of e today too - again only bits and whilst i'm happy for the money to be trickling in i need a big hit of money to make a big difference :think:

Didn't get around to going through my wardrobe *again* But did get around to clearing out some things in the 1-2 rooms that are this weeks focus :T

I also found £1 in a bag i've not used for a while today - and then OH promptly needed a £1 so its gone again - oh well :cool:

You got lots done DDFW more than me. Everyone off school and work as its a bank holiday. Looking forward to getting the house back to myself over the next few days. Might get something done.

Hubby and YS spent afternoon cutting all the grass areas so thats the worst of it done. Will be great to be able to get outside into the garden in the good evenings.

Its good to have something finishing most days as you have a steady flow rather than waiting for one lump sum to come in ddfw. I have a few tonight but no big money but it all adds up. Have printed out the packing slips for what I sold over the weekend. So these have to be packed before being posted tomorrow morning. So riveting :):)

How are you feeling tonight?

Well done on your sales ebayqueen - i have *alot* of packaging to do from todays and the weekends sales :eek: - still i'm happier they've sold than for me to still have them

That'll be lovely for you to get out in the garden when the weathers nice - part of the reason i wanted a fence is so its a bit more private - also had the neighbours dog running riot over my garden this last few days and leaving his doggy mess behind :mad: Don't get me wrong i really like dogs but i shouldn't have to clean up after someone elses or have them trample over my young plants :mad:

I am recognising if i am pushing myself too much - which is why i've not tackled the letters tonight. i am a bit tired and still very sore under my arm but i am sure it will ease up in a few days - either that or i'll become more tolerant of it - this always happens - as i say its something that i've had on and off this last 12months or so

It is lovely having people home isn't it? but i know what you mean about not being able to get on with your routine because of it too

Ah sorry you're feeling rather low DDFW..hope things pick up soon and you get some great ideas for a big slug of money

jwil

:mad: to people and their dogs. I'd be mortified if my dog was rampaging around someone else's garden.

Hope you feel better today

I was very grr! indeed jwil - the one positive is, as though it was completely unrelated OH started talking about fencing :T - not getting too excited its just talk for now :cool:

Managed to get 1 of the letters done that i needed to do :T

Will aim to do the other one tomorrow

All my sold parcels were packaged and posted Sadly, despite watchers several items finished today without any bids hoping for some bids on other stuff for this week though
