    Hi PB! my debtbusting year doesn't include my student loan at the moment either :o but the interest on it is next to nothing right now so I'm not worried about it either.

    Have you any plans for your debtbusting?

    I just checked the forecast and it's supposed to be snowing on and off through till Monday, I'm so fed up of it. So happy I've got the weekend off so I can stay inside and ebay away :D

    Glad I'm not the only one excited about the free listing purple, I always say I'm going to list x-amount and hardly ever reach the targets I set myself.

    Plan for this afternoon is to get bits ready for post office, get to the po (if I can scrounge a lift) the more ebay prep! Have added another £2.61 profit to my pot from another small ebay sale.

    Hope everyone's ok and not got the January blues :)

    I've had a wee lie in today and I'm now up, ready and raring to get going on a mammoth weekend of listing! Have just over 40 items photographed and descriptions written up so that'll do for starters :)

    Also I've just checked my cc's online while waiting for photos to upload and they've been updated for the month, yeay! So my signature is my debt as it stands right now, which means I *should* be sub 10 grand by this time next month :dance:

    Flipping heck! It got quite bad last night, prob about 8cms ontop of the fences outside, but had started melting with the sun today. Fingers crossed no sign of anymore here at the moment!

    You managing to get any listing done today? I've managed 37 so far today, have to head back to my room right now though before I lose it big style with people who're doing anything to get out of doing what they're supposed to (living at home is starting to drag again) so it's back to photographing bits and doing descriptions in word for the next while till they're out of my way. Silly wireless won't work in my room :mad:

    Well I made it to 50 listed :shocked: don't think I've ever done that many in a day before! Don't have a clue how long it took me altogether either (and I took a fair few breaks throughout the day, naughty me!) Have photos and descriptions written up for 5 more, going to go spend an hour taking more pics as my sisters given me a stack of her stuff to try and sell, more pennies for me, and a bonus of still living at home I suppose!

    Have some watchers on bits already and a few bids too so I'm happy enough at the moment. I even missed watching csi:ny for it!

    Well done on the listing today girls, every penny is a bonus :)

    Ooohh, I'm so torn on the readers P! I love reading, and love my books so much I don't know if I could get the same enjoyment from a lump of plastic. Then my head says "think of all the space you'll save" and I could take tonnes of books with me on my "travels" instead of one or two. Have you got your eye on any in particular?

    I've got to stop procrastinating now and get back to work.

    Its the space that I am thinking about and the travel reading! I love my books, but I was babysitting last week and the 9 year old had been given a Kindle for Christmas and she let me have a play with it! It was fab and really light, she had a case for it too which was fab. Swaying towards a Sony e-reader at the moment, but that could change by the time I come to buy the e-reader itself, keeping my options open just now!!

    Well done on your listings, I hope you manage to sell everything :)
