Good morning all (and welcome newbies:wave: it's great fun here!)

My bank account has just been updated with a Green Metropolis book sale and some ebay sales from the weekend so I have another £44.33 to add to my total which is now sitting at a very useful £224.08 :j

Have a nice day everyone!

Good morning everyone

Another day awaits us

Update this morning ... in from Ebay £42.03.
Delighted I have reached my goal this month and will now continue to try and earn more!!!! As I have said before my next challenge is to buy an ipod touch for hubby as a Christmas pressie.

I love this thread :):)

Thanks Aesop. How is life treating you?

£12 MS payment in the bank today, and also £7.68 from a DVD sale on Amazon, which I'm fairly sure I didn't add the other week when it actually sold!

Have just remembered I've got 6 phone calls to make this morning for Home Insurance Quotes for a sort of MS type project, which will bag me a nice £25 in time for Christmas! Have actually had quite a while to do these, but kept forgetting or putting it off - whoops!

Me and OH were talking last night about what best to do with our 'spare money'!! :j:j:j Which was of course fab as the conversations used to be, 'Oh No where are we going to get the money from for such and such'.
I've cleared my little £200 student overdraft (haven't been a student for a few years now as I dropped out of Uni, but Shhhh!! It is technically a Graduate account actually now, as it changes automatically!)
Might keep the account open just for now though as it's interest free, so while we won't think of it as being there, it's nice to know that it is there to dip into just in case rather than having to put something on a Credit Card. Might wait until a few months into next year once Christmas is out the way, and the new baby is here, when there shouldn't be so many extra expenses.
Both my Credit Cards are clear at the moment, so it's just the loan we took out for our new car, which is a pretty high interest rate considering, and my OH has an loan that was with the collections dep so all interest frozen, but is less than £1000 now. I'd like to save up and just pay that off in full (which is what we had planned to do before but then the money got used for the car deposit!! :cool:
I know it doesn't make sense really to pay off the interest free one, but it can be cleared a lot quicker (other loan is £7k ish), and would free up £85 a month from OHs account, which would be useful when I'm on Maternity Pay.

Decisions, decisions.

Anywho, too early in the morning for such rambles, and this thread isn't probably the place, but it's nice to be able to write it down and think about it clearly! I should have started a DFW diary really, but once I get going I can go on a bit!! :rotfl: At least here I know I have to shut up now!!!

Hi ebayqueen. :hello:

let's just say what life? I cannot believe the situation I am in! It seriously is getting to the point where I might need to give up my job, (I hate it with a passion anyway) and go self employed, hate the forms, just so I can save on nursery fees but will struggle to pay the bills.

I did ask my Director if I could drop my hours to 2 days a week but they really want me to go full time, but if I do that, the nursery fees will not be worth me working at all.

the problem is I can't finish all the work I do over 3 days, so 2 days is going to be a real struggle! and a lady I work with has no work, the guy I work with doesn't want to do anything, he is supposed to be the other half of me. But was moaning yesterday that he doesn't want to be stuck behind a computer all day.

there isn't a flourishing job market out there, did you see front page of metro?

the lady I work with, cannot do what I do, and the guy is supposed to do what I do, but doesn't want to, so doesn't!

Monkeynut, open a diary.

It doesn't matter how much you ramble in there, that is what it is for. And once little one is here, might help.

Aesop

someone was asking about selling books?

problem with ebay and amazon, amazon you get sellers selling for 1p. even p&p is not that high. They don't even necessarily have book in stock. They source it if it sells.

And ebay is hit and miss. I have some very popular books that people won't buy as they want for pennies.

Have a look here, fixed fee, and once you take out P&p, not the most profit

Is there not someone you can talk to about that? Your boss, or higher if necessary as that sounds mega unfair obviously and wrong.
You clearly don't 'want' to do what you do, but you do so anyway because it is your job. Why should this guy get away with not doing it because he doesn't want to?!? :eek:

Monkeynut, if you came to see where I work you would be amazed/astonished/horrified!

This guy was offered a job as his department was made redundant, he didn't even want to work for us at that time and went and asked someone else if he could work with them! :eek: they said no, they didn't have a position. So he took it, but has moaned from the beginning he didn't want it.

I thought he had settled down, as was working really hard and well, then he was given a project that we run every year, gone to his head, he has gone OTT and now the Management are giving him more responsibility, more work, because of "his initiative" - no, it wasn't. He just didn't want to be working, so he did his own thing! :mad:

and yesterday he kept moaning about it, I told him he hadn't even got it right what he was supposed to be doing! And said if you want a job, you had better do it, as the company is going under without advertising!

Our new thing is trying to get the company to use twitter, he moaned about having to attend training for that too! He doesn't know how to use it. So I suggested the lady with no work attend, they said no, but she will have an opportunity later. And am going to push for her to tweet and keep the promotion of the business going. If we tell her what to write, and not let her do it herself, that should be fine.

her admin skills are great,but customer service is slightly lacking.

I work with a bunch of nutters!
