    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,

    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 xx

    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 :D. 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 x
