    Oof - finally got here to post :D

    Hope everyone got my PMs yesterday ? i was replying to people but it was on my phone and as i was going into work i wasn't sure if it flashed up to say the message sending had failed :o Apologies if so x

    Jwil - your sig is looking fabby :T:T:T Any plans on how you'll focus on target 1 ? :) And you are right - every extra £1 you send over to it will make a big difference :T

    LAM - good luck on the 3k - as you say paying less in interest can only be a good thing x

    Bah! Just been on the bay of e and tried to add a postage option to send an item abroad and its not letting me amend it - grumblesome! Maybe its because there is already a bid on it ?

    Well i have an exciting weekend planned - tonight i'm hoping to carry on sorting my clothes out and hoping to make a start on the shoes - tomorrow will be more of the same with some listing on the bay of e thrown in too - i am just so rock and roll! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Oh yes there is the tidying that i want to do too - hope it'll happen naturally along with the clothes stuff but my hopes aren't high on this! :o

    Hope you all have a good weekend whatever you have planned :D

    I've also sold another book on ebay so that's £4 to add to the total.

    DH has very kindly provided me another pair of trousers to repair as well.

    My targets are all going the wrong way :eek:

    Cross posted! Well done on the sale hon :)

    I have watchers on some of my bay of e stuff really hope they bid - i had several things with watchers that ended the other day - and not 1 bid :( Oh well - hope they go when they get re-listed ;)

    Fingers crossed you get some good sales DDFW, it's frustrating when you have lots of watchers and no bidders.

    I only had the one pm from you yesterday in the morning. If you sent another one, I didn't get it, if you didn't, then all is fine :D

    I have no real plan to clear target 1, it will just come out of any spare money I have (of which there is not a lot :o). It will be where I send any extras that I can raise.

    That's a shame about the postage thing - it will be due to the bid sadly. You could always put it in the listing, then you will have to add it to the invoice at the end. If you can, it's worth adding the postage to the listing at the start as it encourages people to bid. It's just as easy as adding UK postage as there are just a few rates: 1. Europe, 2. Worldwide (except Australia etc) 3. Australia/New Zealand etc.

    I have printed off the postage prices from here: http://c435158.r58.cf3.rackcdn.com/Royal_Mail_Our_Prices.pdfand just use 1 and 3 as the difference between 2 and 3 is just pennies in most cases. So I have postage for UK, postage for Europe and postage for Worldwide in my listings.

    I don't have much planned for this weekend either - my life is about as exciting as yours :D

    Thanks hon i will print that out - i do usually put abroad postage options in at the start but have missed off doing alot this time round as i was too busy getting the listing on to realise i hadn't included this option if that makes sense ? woods for the trees and all that :o Oh well, at least the items selling - without me adding the postage someone outside the UK can't bid is all.

    See you all tomorrow xx

    Up bright and early this morning, got the house to myself and have walked the dog.

    What to do, what to do. :think:

    Well I went back to bed to read for a bit :o

    Now up and have the first lot of washing in. I've tried to list another item on ebay but it says I've reached my limit for that type of item, and can't list it yet. I've saved it though and will upload it as soon as I can. I'll count it anyway as it's ready.

    I've also entered some competitions and requested some books to review.

    I've got a couple of phone calls I might try and make, otherwise I think I'm just going to potter about.

    Remembered I had PPI on a CC a long time ago, so have decided I will put in a claim for it. I've not really got any details or anything, so I'm not expecting a lot, but it's only going to cost me a stamp. It won't be a huge amount if I do get anything, but anything would be better than nothing. I definitely would not have been able to claim on it if I had tried.

    My Kindle is full :eek: :eek: :eek:

    OMG, how did you manage that?

    I am in a process of decluttering so I shall come here for displacement activity when it gets too much. But now I need more coffee before I really get started. "See" you soon.

    Do you know how far back you can claim on this for jwil ? And how to go about it if you can claim back over 6 years ago :o ta x
