So quick update.
Weight - put on half a pound. I can't see how as I have been really good, so hoping that I see a loss next week.
I did go to Zumba this week which I really enjoyed so I shall be going again.
Finally started the great declutter and have managed to remove 2 bin bags of rubbish and list 2 items on Eb*y (with loads more to list but doing it gradually so I am not swarmed with the posting and packing).
And I have a bid:jPay as much as you can in 2011- £3688.54/£6000Pay as much as you can in 2012 - £3190.96/£6000LBM - August 2010 - £19202.30Current - August 2012 - £11803.68Paid so far - £7398.620 -
Hi o2bfree,
It's been great to read your diary... great that you are looking on the positive side and taking things day by day.
Where are you going on holiday to? At least with a package deal you won't have to spend a fortune on meals out when you get there!
Keep on keeping on!0 -
Thanks for dropping by Turquoise_goat.
I try to look on the bright side but struggling to at the moment.
Things I can't discuss on here are getting to me.
Still got a bid on my other Eb*y item so both will sell :jPay as much as you can in 2011- £3688.54/£6000Pay as much as you can in 2012 - £3190.96/£6000LBM - August 2010 - £19202.30Current - August 2012 - £11803.68Paid so far - £7398.620 -

Jwil,thank you for popping in

Went to Zumba again last night and loved it although I think I am the least co-ordinated person I know
Listed 2 more things on E*ay yesterday so hoping they sell.
I'm going to try and list a couple of items every other day so that I will have staggered wrapping and posting times.
Little and often is much easier for me as I get put off by having a lot to do all in one go.
Not much in the way of Roses moments going on - must rectify that

Good luck with the ebay listings, little and often is much easier to manage, I agree
Zumba sounds like great fun, I keep meaning to give it a go. "Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

Pleased to have sold 2 items on E*ay.
I now have 4 items listed.
I have decided to keep the money earnt in my Paypal account for gifts through the year as lots of places can take Paypal payments and if I buy something from a shop I will just transfer the amount from Paypal to my bank account.
I figure I can probably earn enough for gifts for this year from the great declutter.Pay as much as you can in 2011- £3688.54/£6000Pay as much as you can in 2012 - £3190.96/£6000LBM - August 2010 - £19202.30Current - August 2012 - £11803.68Paid so far - £7398.620 -

Yeah but does anything sell on ebay in January? Doesn't seem like two minutes since they had a last free listing....
Is it really worth it? And how much will you price stuff for initially?
Might give it a go...Don't know...Depends how much I can put as starting price
