Was quite shocked earlier to hear DH telling the kids 'owt not nailed down's goin on eBay tomorrow!'.very out of character, glad he's up for it cos normally would be a 'job' I did without really mentioning it, glad he's taking a active role this time! :)

  • Electric bill was less than budgeted for...so an extra £7.32 towards the total for this month...16 items on ebay, ending between Sunday evening and Tuesday evening...plus Sunday is 'anything in the house that looks like it could go' ebay listing day!!!
    Just have to make sure I don't get too zealous and have 'Sunday dinner leftovers'...'used baby nappy'...'church welcome pack'!!! :p
    Great to see so many folks hitting/getting near/feeling chuffed with their targets!
    £10 a day in November = £593.31 / £300
  • Morning all! Well this weekend i'm gonna make the most of free listing weekend!! :D

    I've sold some bits and pieces on ebay over the last 2 days totalling £34.17 so will add that to my total. I've also listed another 14 things on 99p start and some of them already have bids and watchers :T:T

    Managed to get myself 2.5 hours overtime a week starting on Monday but i won't get paid for it till September and each month thereafter. Not gonna add those to my total tho because that seems too easy, unless i go from £5 per day to £10 next month. ;)

    Been saving up for a carpet for the girls bedroom (it was desperate). Had £150 so went out looking yesterday and managed to get a really good quality carpet that was on a "roll end" for just £76!!! :D If i had bought it by the square metre it would have been £189 so i'm VERY happy! Savings made have been paid off my council tax :o

    Well must dash. Gonna go and get my shopping done early so i can get abck and get ebaying (just remember i have a £4 off £30 vouchers for Mr T's)....everyl little helps :o

    Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
