Morning All,
Well I failed in my mission to take loads of photos and write descriptions I'm afraid. I took one photo and just couldn't be bothered. By this time it was 9pm and I had only just finished cleaning the kitchen and getting lunches ready for today (we were late in last night). So I will try again tonight.
I've got 2 watchers on the stuff I put on yesterday though so that's a good start.
And my eBay money from last week hit my account today, woohoo! Moved £1 to my savings this morning.
Have a good day all,

Hey Jules,
Just popping in to say hi and hope that your motivation is still buzzing!

Hi Choc,
Hehe thank you it is indeed, am itching to get out of work so I can get on with photo taking and writing descriptions, but not long to go now and then I can do my usual whenever eBay is involved and dither about for ages trying to decide where to put the stuff to photograph it. I will certainly never win awards for lighting and backgrounds of pictures :rotfl:

Morning All,
My ebay challenge began in earnest last night - I added another 8 items to those already there and have been rewarded with some watchers already. Now I just need to send positive buying thoughts to the watchers to get them to hand over their cash :rotfl:
I hope I get some buyers, this is a difficult month (like so many others lol) so selling some stuff would be very nice.
Hope everyone has a good day

Sending positive vibes too!
Don't be too dis-heartened if it's slow this month as a lot of people are on holiday in August xxDebt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j0 -
Oh thanks Choc and Beccie for the positive vibes
That's a very good point about the holidays Beccie, I will bear that in mind, didn't occur to me as up here the schools are back already x0 -
Morning All,
I had a great evening MSE wise. I got my first bid on my eBay listings, only £4.99 but it is a start and the number of watchers has shot up on a few things. I am hoping for some bidding wars
. My sister is great at eBay and I was once at her house watching as people scrambled to outbid each other for a pair of her shoes in the last few minutes of the auction, it was quite exciting.
Also, I finally answered the phone when student loans rang (although I should say it is not student loans as the government sold my loans the year I left uni to a finance company). I have to say after all my worrying, they were lovely. I am paying £34 extra per month until February and then I am clear of the arrears, all sorted. I am quite glad I answered the phone now. I had a nice sound sleep after all that.
I am sure I will be unable to resist the temptation to keep an eye on eBay today although I shouldn't really expect more bids just yet as there are still 2 days to go for one lot and 3 days for another, but here's hoping, I love refreshing the page and seeing green typing :rotfl:
Have a good day all,
Jules x0
