Well, that is 40 items listed and I am well chuffed with that! I actually have one bid from yesterday and a few watchers, so things are livening up on Ebay now. It has been very quiet over the weekend, though.

Well done everyone for your efforts - it will be worth it!

(my fingers hurt now )

PS: I have paid the last installment of my credit card bill today - I am now officially debt-free - yay!

sounds like everyone has had a busy few days - ebay or otherwise!!
I had a wedding to go to on Saturday, so Ive just managed 63 relists.
Sitting at the PC with a few items 2nite, will try to make it to 70!
Im off work again 2moro so I will have to get round to taking photos to prep for more 99p listings & future FLD this month (fingers crossed)

Wow, you guys are so good!! Frugalina, you've done loads and credit_crunch!

I was so proud that I got around to listing this evening. Thought 7 was pretty good but not now! Took me nearly an hour as well.

Desperately trying to raise enough money to paint our little boy's bedroom and get him some storage and for the extra bits needed to put make some cupboards and shelves in the living room. No room in the day to day budget so Ebay has to make me £100 soon or I may cry.

FrugaLina - congrats on paying off the CC bill!

And Alleycat, you'll get to £100 in no time. It only takes a couple of items to do better than you thought, or one big-ticket item and a couple of smaller ones. I'm averaging at least £100/month at the moment, and I've still got loads of stuff to sell.

Well done FrugalLina - all this ebaying is worth it
Have just listed 20 items - have had enough now! Have listed x35 this weekend.
Had a number of sales finishing yesterday/tonight and havent done as well as normally...however got about 6 parcels to post tomorrow. Am off for a week now - so my intention in between keeping the children amused and the house clean is to do loads of 99p listings!
Well done to those still going - thats it for me for tonight.

Alleycat, have you tried Freecycle, Freegle and netmums? You can ask for things on netmums - there is a wanted place, and you can ask for it for free, with my freegle group I am allowed to ask for things without giving something away. With my freecycle group, I have to give something, then I can ask for something.

But if you need cupboards and shelves, worth looking, because you may get paint too.

Thanks. Tried freecycle for paint but no offers Given plenty away on there recently too. I've got most of the wood etc for the built in cupboards and shelves as hacking a book case, slats from our old bedframe and bought two doors off Ebay for £5. Just need a large piece of ply and some batons. I've fallen in love with ikeahackers. I love that site, loads of fantastic hacks of ikea stuff.

I've got my heart set on the stepped trofast storage from Ikea. Keep searching Ebay and gumtree but no white ones in easy pick up distance yet.

I'm planning a pirate theme for the boy so need curtain fabric/ready made curtains, a cute light shade and a rug.

I'm always peeking in skips for bits of wood and other interesting stuff. I think my husband is so sick of me coming home with random things I've found!
