    Thanks for the thoughts everyone, all back to normal thank goodness :)

    Eventually got payout on ips and had about 20,000 added on looney but still not the garnier points grr, so half way there again on that, spent some of my money on amazon on some books, dont like being ill as I spend lol!!!

    Done a few surveys today and managed not to get screened out :)

    Got a big craft fair to go to on Saturday so asked hubby for money for mothers day, no shops around here so need to make the most of it while I can :)

    Still only 2 of my ebay items paid for, its so frustrating both are the cheapest 99p ones as well, I am going to end up at the po every day for the rest of the week I can see it now!

    Hey everyone, how are you all today? xx

    Hope your feeling a bit better now Susie hun, Gemini and Kec I'm sorry to hear about your fall and your wrist sounds like you both are in the wars at the moment :(

    I hope you feel better soon twinklekat, sounds like it's best to see a doctor, it may just be stress and other things getting to you and not necessarily depression. Could also be a hormonal imbalance for one reason or another. I hope you feel better soon, I suffered depression (now recovered) many years ago and it's not a good place to be :(

    I decided to get the bedroom sorted today, mainly to get the desk clear and set up ready for my OU course and secondly to get things ready to ebay. Big mistake! Although the Desk is fairly clear and clean now the rest of the bedroom is covered in allsors of things to ebay and presents to be stored. I have filled a cotbed full of items to be sold :eek:

    Most of the items are brand new with tags/packaging etc so I'm a little worried about listing on ebay incase they think I'm a business seller, but not keen on doing a carboot, had a bad experience years ago with people stealing from our table :eek: plus with dd it's near enough impossible.

    Best get on and list some before I lose interest in doing it :rotfl:

    I wouldn't worry about ebay and the big list of new items, sure 99% of over brought one way or another.......... what I did with Midd Hoodies bigger items and including sleeping bag style thingies was put them in the free adds of our local paper, - for us its anything under £200 - we sold quite a lot that way, as people look through 2nd hand listings, and with most be new with tags your have them queueing round the block. xx

    twinklecat - you've done the best thing writing it down, without sounding daft its best to get it nipped in the bud now, and by having it wrote down if you forget which is my trick, then its there.

    Awol yesterday as my lot got the latest bug doing the rounds. :(

    No posts on here today? Gosh it's quiet. What am I going to do with you lot? Big kick up the bum for everyone. Here goes ...... LOL.

    It's nearly April so do what you have to do and get ready for a big surge in the beginning of the month. :D The sun is starting to shine, and we have the kids off for nearly three weeks, so we need to give the money making a good go in the first week/10 days or so, before the kids (if you have them) spend it all the rest of the month. ;)

    I hope everyone's feeling a little better today. Kec - I hope you saved me one of those cakes :)

    hello:wave: I'm here but a bit distracted by the tesco thread.

    not sure how much money making I have done in March - will find out when I do my totals!

    I am really no good when it comes to ebay:( I haven't got round to sorting out stuff so only put the odd thing on. I sold an item at the week end for a great 99p then messed up with the postage and it cost me more than they had paid. in the end I think I made about 50p!

    twinkle hope you get on Ok at the doctor's tomorrow

    Good to see you here Bunbun. Don't worry about ebay - you tried that's the main thing, and you learnt to check the postage next time, so it's not a waste. ;) You'll get the hang of it. :D

    Twinkle, I was going to post how jealous I am that you had all those product tests, and after posting the challenge to sign up for some more, I haven't had one - I just did a survey on ips and they offered me a trial for a ..............................................................................................bottle of water. How exciting.:rotfl:
