Been checking my e-bay sales lots - sold a few things and need to re-list others so need to check what needs packaging and start on this, would like to post these asap. OH has been making grumbling noises about the mess :o:o Tried to explain it has to get worse before it can get better :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Ok, tee hee, in my defence I do just about every job in this house so when I start e-baying some of the jobs I normally do get left, added to that the e-bay things make their way into the living room to be photo'd and then *hopefully* packed. So next job will be the taking of photo's for new e-bay stuff. Followed by the slightly shorter job of receipts then pots then house insurance. Ready, Get Set, Go! Oh right that'll be me getting going then :cool:

Oops ended up posting the message before I meant to - no idea how :rotfl::rotfl:

Ok, now for the insurance. *Eep* can't you tell i've not been looking forward to this one

DedicatedDFW

Hi all, guess the insurance has to wait until tomorrow - seems all the on-line questions don't cover my situation so need to give them a bell to check I'm not saying everythings correct and then they say i've not answered truthfully :eek::eek::eek:

So plan now is for an early start tomorrow. Up and ready for 7 :eek: Oh dear this doesn't look good already does it :rotfl::rotfl:

First hour listen to CD and start to transcribe this

8am ring insurance people and sort this out :cool:

Pack e-bay items which are sold and paid for first and then pack sold and waiting to be paid ones - so happy I got some sales :T:T

May pop to post office tomorrow for those prompt paying people if I have time

Free bingo x 2

If more time needed get to end of CD carry on with this

and then see what is next on my study schedule :j:j:j

Feel free to give me a nudge in the right direction if I don't get all this sorted out tomorrow.

Have a nice evening all x

DedicatedDFW

I did not manage the early start time today Hmm, need to think about this and how I can get enough rest and be up on time. Must, must, must call the docs - might try and do this tomorrow from work

As I was up late I tried to remember all the things I had to do and put things in order of priority.

Small steps / TADA list: -

MS completed and report written up :T
Applied for another MS will have to wait for a reply to that one
Insurance called - they can't cover me :eek: good thing i didn't just go ahead with the app :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Applied for insurance and all paid for with another company
Free bingo x 2 done
Packed a few e-bay items
Minimum payment made to a bill and bank account checked

Tomorrow: -

COLLEGE WORK! Big shouty letters to push myself - *eep* really should have got up on time. Right, off to sleep, am very very tired now x

InaPickle

Sleep tight, Dedicated! Zzzzz....x

jwil

Hope all is well with you DDFW, well done on the ebay sales, and hope you get some college work done today!

DedicatedDFW

Hi All :j

Pickle and jwil good to see you

Hmm, College work, I am doing some every day (1 hour) so I don't feel too bad about it but not getting the work done I have to do at home can't carry everything around with me i'd need to do it elsewhere - rather than in lunch etc. so I have shelved it all til Friday when I will have the house to myself hopefully Seems better than beating myself up about it everyday :rotfl:

Small Steps today:-

Paid funds from e-bay off target 1
Purchased some reduced priced food :cool:
working through free bingo
lifted 1 more item out for e-bay - lots more to find then :rotfl::rotfl:

Hope everyone is having a good week x

InaPickle

You seem to be doing well - keep it up! x

As for the Ebaying, I have loads of stuff to get rid of as well. Must. Get. To. It.

jwil

That sounds like a plan for the college work, so you don't beat yourself up about it every day.

I need to get back to ebaying too. I did manage to get 32 books on amazon though, so I did achieve something last week. I listed 17 items for DH on ebay, but haven't put anything new on myself recently.
