4 ebay items endning tonight and they're going to make me £53 at the moment...hoping for lots of last minute bidding:)

Posted the other ebay sale from last week (buyer took a while tobother to pay) - that was a £17 sale. I have had an NSD as I don't include postage - buyer's paid for that.

Valued Opinions is on £9...nearly at the magic £10. Onepoll is just being rubbish with me...I'm on £27.95, it's taking forever. Must check mysurvey. £3 recevied from P*cone into my Paypal account. All in the right direction eh?!

So, roast chicken tonight - didn't do it on Sunday as we went to town then couldn't do it last night as didn't get home from the course until 5 (2 hours extra worked unpaid grrr:mad:).

I shall report back with my ebay successes later:D

pixie what are you selling to raise so much ££££? You must have better quality stuff than me! Whenever I sell stuff on evilbay I just get a couple of pounds! Please give me some tips! x

This week I've got a camera, a handheld vaccuum (used a couple of times, was just too much hassle for me), and 2 h0llister sweatshirts of dd1's, I posted a s*perdry polo top I bought dd2 that she then said she didn't like:o

I am starting to run out of decent stuff really as I sold so much before Xmas. DD2 does want to sell her Nintendo ds and games so will get it all cleaned up and photographed. The only tip I have is to make sure you have good photos - even pay to add a few more if need be. I have things ending mid evening - around 8ish.

I still have a couple of old cameras lurking about that I'll try getting rid of and there will be summer clothes/shoes which I'll do when the weather's better:)

There, £61 altogether...had hoped for more for the vaccuum but it went for £22, that'll do:D

Excellent ebaying :T I've just realised that I can list quite easily straight from my phone. I always find it a bit of a faff uploading and downloading photos from phone to pc - this will motivate me much more.

I've got loads of decent summer stuff to put on but think it's a little too early to list at the moment.

All ebayers have paid up - the 2 jumpers posted today, that was my only spending - about £3.40 total. The lady who bought the vaccuum lives a couple of roads down from my Mum, who I'm going to stay with this weekend so I'm going to drop that off with her and refund her postage - much easier. Though now she's paid me the full amount I guess my paypal fees were higher than if she'd not sent the postage...grrrr:mad: But saves a job, getting it boxed and sent.

I'm now doing the times essay in 2 weeks - i really wont have it ready for this week and tutor's busy next Fri, so Fri 3rd it is. That'll give me plenty of time so must pull my finger out.

Dinner's just chicken stir fry...I'm very tired, just been sat reading my book for the last hour;) Wanted to finish it so I can properly read my first kindle book:D

So, a night on the sofa, early night...perfect:p

Food shopping done - £31...that's more like it:beer: It does help that we're at my Mum's from tonight until Sunday so no meal tonight or tomorrow...and I'm hoping to get fed on Sunday too;) DD1 is off to a concert tomorrow with my niece so she's at my sisters tonight. DD2 and I will probably go for a wander round the shops - I could do with some cheap work tops so will check out the supermarkets...dead posh me:o

I bought my niece's bday pressie in arg0s today using vouchers - girls got given them for xmas and didnt want them so I bought them off them and ex gave me his £5 one so that was a free £5 towards niece's £13 pressie:T I did buy her an ELC pressie ages ago...but she's going to be 4 and think the Happyland pressie too young. I shall get it on ebay - I paid £4.60 for it and it's worth £16 so as long as I cover the £4.60 I'll be happy:D Looking at completed listings the new ones have been going for about £8-9:p

Ok, better get going - need to make sure we've remembered everything.

Evening:D
We had a good weekend - but I spent more than anticipated:o:o I shall own up and list it....
£13.50 on a school bag for dd2 (I did get 10% off it though if that makes it any better;)), £44 on 2 tops and a pair of jeans in next for me, £45 in Asda - for that I got 2 cardis, a pair of shoes for work, pants and tights for dd2. I did get 2 tops in Asda too but took them back for a refund the day after:D
Also, we went for a meal out on Sunday which I hadn't know we were doing - it was my niece's bday so went with my sis and her family, my mujm and stepdad - I spent £21 on our 3 meals and drinks and it was good not having to cook when we got in last night.

So - the £80 I transferred from Paypal last week has been transferred back to my spends account to cover my goodies:o I feel bad spending so much, but ddw needed the bag as her zip had broken and £13.50 was much better than some others around. My jeans were needed - only really got one decent pair, noticed that the others I've been wearing are so worn and faded...oh and saggy, not good. £20 is a good price for jeans seeing as I used to only wear £45 Oasis jeans;)

So, NSD today - should manage NSDs from now until tax credits day on Thurs, I dont need anything. Hopefully girls will go to ex at the weekend so I wont need to spend then either:) I know dd2 has a party to go to on Friday but I have pressies in my stash for that. They can stay over with ex on Sat hopefully - I need the time and peace to get the essay prep done.

Ok....stir fry for dinner tonight, how appropriate with chinese new year - total coincidence though;) Off to drop dd1 at cheerleading now.
Hope you're all well:D:D
