    Hi everyone,

    Well, halfway through day 2 of new job...hope I'm doing ok!

    Pixie - Like I said before I think you should stick with it, take all the help you can get & I know you'll catch up! Give it some more thought x
    Aria - I know what you mean about ebay! I am trying to list 1 item a day, & so they're not all finishing on random days I am using the "Schedule listing" option thingymajig, but going into it beforehand at a more suitable time & changing to "List now" to avoid fees. Maybe this is something you could try?
    Rdchick - Send some of your ebay luck my way please...sick of relisting the same items :(
    Catmiaow - Hope you enjoy the film, I want to go & see that!
    NTBY - Wow, that sounds scary but amazing at the same time! Enjoy your trip tomorrow, hope the plane journey goes smoothly!!
    Foxgloves - BIG Congratulations on being debt free! & an extra kudos for being sensible enough to keep up the good habits to ensure you stay debt free, despite a lower income.
    La Escocesa - Good luck to your OH, will keep my fingers crosssed :)

    Did everyone get the Ebay email? Free listing this weekend! Unfortunately I am away at the in-laws but might get something on the website on Sunday. Turbolister doesn't work on a mac and the alternatives seem to charge, grrrr!!! :mad:

    the "race" - t'was a fun run!- was good, I did it through a mixture of jogging & racing but I'm not quite up to 5k so it was hard! I had a really good time and am really proud of myself! Looking forward to doing race for life in July and I hope to be up to running the whole way! x

    OH and me are shattered today as he is not very well and so we some advice I saw on that thread, 'I have not stopped smoking, I am just not smoking today but I can have one tomorrow if I want'. I am not sure how this is going to but I am going to try, for financial reasons if for no other.

    Have a good day all

    Jules x

    I am trying very hard. Got a fab message from Sue with loads of advice which I have read through a couple of times now. Had a wobble earlier and nicked a rollup from my OH but I am thinking 1 compared to my usual 23 is good progress, onwards and upwards!
