    Howdy everyone. Been rushing around like a mad thing today. Was running around this morning doing some odds and ends, and have sorted a few more things out for ebay.

    This afternoon we did a boot sale, I don't think we've made millions, it's probably the worst we've done for a long time, but we still cleared some stuff so that's all good.

    We are going to do another one tomorrow and then a load of stuff will be sent to charity so we can make space for new things.

    I've had some ebay sales today, and two items have gone for way more than I expected so :T :T

    Hope everyone has a good weekend :)

    Thanks penny, the rest of my stuff isn't selling at the moment, so you're not alone. Hope yours pick up soon!

    Have a good day yourself :)

    Well we got up this morning and went to the boot sale but it was raining. We decided to go for it anyway and went in and set up. Glad we did as we cleared quite a lot of stuff so that's good! Lots of low value so probably not taken loads but we were two boxes completely empty and a box set to go to charity now as well.

    I didn't buy anything either :A

    Hope everyone is well.

    :mad: I hate ebay :mad:

    Despite that, I have listed two new items today and have packed a load of stuff for DH which has gone out.

    Hi jwil and friends!!!

    I have been badly out of the loop for a while..well a week or so..which is AGES!! Too much work and too little time...hope everyone is OK though. DDFW..don't like the sound of you being exhausted. Take it easy if you can.

    Jwil...you are the unstoppable car boot sale machine!!! You never flag. Well done on shifting some stuff. We are slow on sales again at the moment. Need to have a renewed go at everything but hard to fit it all in

    Have a good eve all

    hi Jwil and friends, got back late last night so trying to catch up.

    I had an item from the week before I went away that was not paid for so emailed the supposed buyer again today. If no response I assume my next step is to open a case? Very frustrating but hey ho.

    I am going to catch up on all your posts as I really need to up my debt busting now.

    Hope you are feeling a little better now DDFW. I have just put myself on some wellwoman tablets (managed to get OH to get wellman lol as 2 for 1 and he paid) am hoping that I might get a little more energy.
