    Payday today, hurrah! It's another very tight month though, so I must focus on getting stuff on ebay.

    I've paid £651 today though.

    Morning Jwil

    Caught up on your diary...you are doing well with your list.
    Payday today for yourself..ours too so its shuffle money time :)

    £651 is an incredible amount to pay at once. Well done and best wishes for the coming month. I need a few pound extra this month too about £250 to be exact. I am not going to join any challenges but will put my wee head down and get on with it.

    take care and you certainly are getting an awful lot of rain in England. Hopefully it will ease of soon.

    Good luck with the raising extra funds this month ebayqueen :)

    There's flooding all over the town here, luckily we are on a bit of a hill so not affected.

    Well Done on the book sale jwil and the huge payment today too of course :D

    I meant to say - thats why i felt really sorry for the carboot sellers - i don't think some of them made enough to cover their pitch £10 or £12 as they'd hardly been set up for any time and couldn't get their stuff out properly due to the weather. Hope its nice this weekend or at least dry and less windy - its so much easier to see stuff that way too :)

    peaceandfreedom you got lots done this weekend well done!

    Lets hope we all do well towards our targets next month :D

    Awesome payment, Jwil. :T

    Got a few more things listed on ebay but really must try harder. Got a distracted by something I was trying to figure out with a computer programme, and then by the Manchester Derby. Still, ticked off quite a few jobs today all told, so I'm happy.

    Jwil, good luck with all your targets in May. DDFW, I'm with you on the weather front, hope it gets better. Did manage to dry some clothes outside today though!. :)

    De-Lurking to say i've tried this on some stuff that had loads of watchers last week but didn't sell ...re-listed last night after reading this with free p&p and bumped up starting price a little :) hoping it sells this week now! Thanks for tip :D xx

    It's funny isn't it how something can have loads of watchers and then not sell, or only one person bids. That's happened to me and I found it quite disappointing. I've now learned to stop expecting that 'Watchers means Buyers' because it often doesn't.

    Still, I can't help being pleased as the Watchers count goes up on my list of ebay stuff. :D

    Hope your item sells this time, debtfreewannabe. :)
