20p from me today and a £1 coin potted on Friday (not sure if I had posted this already) plus some 1's, 2's and 5's on Sunday but I can't remember how much as was in a rush and I ve kind of slept since then (between baby number one teething and baby number two kicking me in the ribs! oh the joys!
).
Happy Birthday to Lily, Jakes Mum! Hope that she had a fab day, parties are such hard work for the mums but the kids enjoy themselves and it's all memories for them :A sounds like they all had a whale of a time so big gold star for you
I have been reading the thread but not posting as much as keep meaning to when LO is in bed and then am usually too tired. However am trying to be good and do my ebaying... however I now can't find the cable to connect the camera to the computer
oh well, I have put my listings onto Turbo Lister ready for when I get some time tomorrow to search the house... best not be in the loft!:rotfl:
My pot isn't as heavy as I would like... however it's still heavier than OH :rotfl: although he did mention that he had put a fiver in there :eek: he found it in an old pair of jeans pocket.... how jammy!

Evening potters
I potted about £5 the other day that was lying about the house, but nothing for a few days since. My NSD challenge is going better than I expected, but this means no change for the pot!
Still, I can see my O/D going in the right direction so that's kinda the point I suppose :A0% card was £1126.91 / Now £1502.37

Need to pick some fellow ebayers brains though...I sold an item over the weekend that clearly had UK delivery only, but someone from Russia has bought it, I don't want to post it abroad (we've both had a few 'fly' people, trying it on before, when posting abroad :mad:); on top of that it'll cost £95-160 to post it there, I don't have that for a start, even if I was willing to get ripped off...Hence UK only delivery in the listing...can I cancel their bid, and give someone else a second chance offer? Or will there be some sort of comeback for this, ebay or otherwise?
:j...
Have they paid? if so send them an email asking for a paypal verified UK address for you to send the item special delivery too. If they come back with the standard 'send it to me here' email back saying your item is for UK delivery only as stated in your listing.
Next time make sure you change your listing preferences at the bottom of your page when listing to exclude any countries other than UK.
I have had this too the first time I did a UK only listing and was fortunate that my buyer accepted a mutual, just dont send them a mutual unless you are sure they will agree to it as they can decline and then leave you a big fat neg. Unfortunately you have left yourself open by not blocking overseas biddersso if you put in a non paying bidder, they can pay and then your stuck with sending it or refunding them and getting a neg and ebay wont remove it as you didnt block overseas from bidding
(dont ask me why you can put UK only and it doesnt block overseas automatically, its one of ebays PITA ideas)

Nothing today because I had to put money in the coffee fund at work, but i'm definitely spending less because I want money left to pot:rotfl:
My cat's helping me post this so excuse the spellin! I.ve got a couple of things to sell at work, if they go I'll pot the proceeds.
Good work everyone, keep it up

Evening all
I potted this morning, but cannot remember how much. Doh!! Oh well. I'm not keeping a track anyway.
Bit annoyed with myself today, went food shopping with my budget, had £50 left to get to the end of the month and somehow managed to spend pretty much all of it. :mad: Was hoping i would have some pennies left to pot, not looking likely now. and will be over budget for food as need essentials between now and payday. Am not impressed with myself. Oh well it can only get better.
On the up side had a lovely chicken hotpot dinner tonight and enough to freeze into another 4 dinners. :j
Jakes_mum - HaPPy BirThDAy to Lily. :bdaycake: Hope she has had a perfect day.
Happy potting everyone

So you can imagine how tough it has been to wait until I got home to STUFF my face with CHOCOLATE... instead of using the vending machine.
I saved 60p - but I don't have the right change - I promise to pot that tomorrow. I feel so sad that i've can't pot anything today... and it's only my second day! Sad times. :-(
On another note, I am literally ready to join a challenge around not shopping for any new clothes... for like 5 months...! Eek.
I have just found 5p in my shaggy rug... POTTED! On that note - good night!!! :j0
