    morning lovelies,well ebay isnt going too badly, have got £37.44 worth of bids, have watchers on 38 of my 50! So fingers crossed, I'd like to make £150 but we'll see, its free listing this weekend, so tomorrow I will put the rest on! Don't know how well they will go though as its sort of the bits that i didnt think would do so well.Just been reading dinahs first diary, so full of ideas and inspiration, I really feel like I should be doing more!

    I've been following Dinah since the beginning, she did real good in her first two or so diaries. I can't seem to catch up with them as they're moving so fast, she just started her new one and already on page 5. I got lots of ideas from her first diary when I needed to make extra money but they are all so time consuming, it's good when you're off. I think I will re-read it if I go on maternity leave (not like I'm pregnant:( ).

    Glad ebay is picking up, you still have all weekend to go so might make a nice sum.

    oh crikey hopeful didnt realise i was motivation! Going to have to list the rest of my stuff for definite tomorrow now!! :) Feeling really down in the dumps today didnt have the best day at work, had lots of praise but one bigish, i suppose, criticism which I have taken to heart and am not at all happy about, am really lonely too at the moment with OH being away but really dont want to have company as am in such a bad mood and my dad phoned to say that my (step) grandad died today, now i didnt know him very well, but how sad for the step side of my family, really feel for them. So not the bet day really, just spoke to OH on the phone and he wasnt much help, ended up just annoying me to be honest, I know it is just because I am feeling down, but still. Have just made myself a cuppa and have a cadburys creme egg to make myself feel better. sorry for the grumpy post :(

    No need to apologise - everyone has bad days.

    Would it help to discuss the criticism with the person who made it? Sometimes people say things meaning well but don't express themselves v well. You're bound to feel more sensitive at the mo' too, but unfortunately not everyone else is sensitive to that!!!

    Life's so complicated. I'm sure you're step family would be comforted to know you are thinking of them. It's a sad time.

    The cuppa and creme egg most definately sounds like the best option.

    I'm purposely avoiding the subject of men :mad: :p:D

    thanks hopeful,

    men are very much rubbish, OH is so laid back he doesnt worry about anything, so when i have a worry he cant see what the problem is.... grrrr very frustrating!

    ok ebay update, have £54 worth of bids :) and have watchers on 39 of my items, have just been through stuff again and I need to list another 50 things which will keep me busy this weekend! Don't think all of that will go though as some of it isn't named stuff etc. Going to try and sell some cosmeticy and jewellery type things and see how they go, as in new mascaras in packets along with some silver jewellery so fingers crossed.

    Can't believe the weather today it is horrible! All rainy and cold, glad I'm not going out!

    pregnancy craving, really want lunch now, no not breakfast, I want a cheese sandwich and a packet of crisps!! But if that is what baby wants that is what baby will have, much better than a huge slice of cake or something!

    ok so ebay i have up to £86.00 which is great although a long way off from my £300!
    Have been up since 6 this morning, so was taking pictures of all the rest of the stuff, but now the camera battery has run out, how very annoying! Would spend the day doing this but HAVE to go to OH's mums for lunch eventhough he is away, lovely people I just have to much to do and really can't be bothered to drive the 40 mins to get there!
