    You're still an ebay inspiration, jwil! I don't know how you do it. I've got 5 things to put on but can't be bothered!

    Glad things are going okay with you, :)

    Thanks copperjar, I have to force myself to do it as I hate it :D I do try and do 'batches' of similar stuff though, so I can set up a template and just change the title and the photos, rather than have to do a complete new listing each time. It saves a lot of time!

    I got my £25 amazon voucher from a survey site yesterday and I used it to put some books on my kindle so I can get rid of the paper copies. They are trashy books that I read once in a blue moon, so I figured I'd have them on the kindle and make some space. So that was 5 books cleared. I also found a couple more which I think I've got on the kindle already (freebies) so I shall double check that and get rid of those too.

    Small pleasures - We've lived in this house for 2 years nearly and I always thought the grill on the oven didn't work. I've given it a good scrub and discovered I can light it with a match. That means I can now eat cheese on toast again :D I haven't had cheese on toast for years as at my last house the grill was in the oven so it always smoked loads. It made me happy anyway :p


    Om nom nom to cheese on toast again :T that would definitely have cheered me up too :D

    I had to go and do the food shop today so i took my xmas vouchers with me :) I had seen a couple of things i'd like to have and was lucky enough to get vouchers for these shops :T But when i went today they'd sold out :( i'll have a looksie in another branch of the same shop tomorrow and see if i'm lucky there ;) I'd rather get things in the sales to make my vouchers go that bit further :cool:

    Don't think i'll get my things listed on amaz*n today - i've been upright far too long today as it is and am still feeling completely rotten with this rubbish cold thingy :(

    Hope everyone else is well xx

    That's annoying that they'd sold out. Hope you manage to find it elsewhere.

    Take care of yourself and hope you feel better soon x

    The grill on our cooker has been broken for years so I know the lack-of-grill feeling. Yay for cheese on toast. :j

    Payday today :T I've now sat down and figured out what needs to be where. I hope my ebay and amazon does well this month.

    I've sold another book on amazon so that's a start!

    Have done nothing at all today, bar watch Fringe :D Slowly getting there only 1.5 series to go.

    I keep forgetting that I shouldn't eat while I watch it though, bleurgh :rotfl: Maybe it would be a good dieting tool :think:

    Seriously HI - your idea of not doing much is my idea of a week's work :rotfl:I bet you did a LOT more than me :D

    I did manage to eat - it's just that each time it coincided with a particularly gross part. I struggled on though :p

    Well my listing over Christmas worked out well - 10 items sold yesterday, all which have been on plenty of times before :T :T :T

    I've also sold another two books on amazon so very pleased about that! :j
