    Hope everyone is well x i only had 6 new to list items on the bay of e this time but i also went through alot of the other stuff and reduced the price and will do the same again with anything i still have next time x

    I did that with a load of my stuff and it did work and has cleared a bit more out. Fingers crossed you get some good sales!

    Hey everyone,

    I'm still lurking but I'm on a right downer at the moment, so not really feeling up to posting. Hopefully I'll snap out of it soon.

    I've had a few sales, and have £25 to add towards my target now.

    £25/£300 - £275 to go.

    Hope everyone is well!

    Aw I know how you feel Jwil. Its winter! makes you depressed. I sit all day scheming and thinking what I will do to sell on ebay / declutter etc and then at night I am too pooped and cba to do anything. :o

    This week I really really need to motivate - a week down and my total is :

    £5 / £300 :o:o:o

    I have put in spare savings account that didnt have any money in and when there is a decent amount I will transfer it around.

    Good news - only 2 days till weekend - take care everyone :D
  • Jwil, sorry to read you are on a downer :(. It is horrible and I hope that things improve for you soon.

    On a more minor scale, I am struggling with things at the moment and feeling stressed. I started weeping on my boss this week and I'm not even sure what exactly was upsetting me.

    I am occupying myself with the mindless tasks on swagbucks. Which of you encouraged me to join ;)?? I have the necessary tenacity and high boredom threshold to get hooked on that site. I even like the games :D.

    So far this month I have Amazon £3, Ebay £45, survey £3 and £10 voucher from survey site so that's £61. I now need a plan to find some more cash this month.
    Mortgage, draw down Sept 2014: £222,000

    Now: £173,229
  • Hope your feeling better soon xx

    Thanks everyone :)

    Hopefully will snap out of it all soon.

    LAM - I'm the same - at work I'm always making grand plans about what I will do when I get home, then when I actually get home I lose all motivation.

    Chocforever - can't take the blame for swagbucks I'm afraid - I don't get it at all! I've never managed to get more than a handful of points when I've spent ages on there!

    I've had someone buy a load of stuff from me on ebay - about 9 items in total :T All low value, but it's a load of stuff gone. I already counted the first lot they bought, then they messaged me and said they had spotted some more and would I wait and combine postage for the lot. I said yes, and if they put bids on the items they were interested in, I'd just end all the auctions and sell to the highest bidder (them) and post it all rather than wait until Sunday when they all go out. It means I've only got minimum bid for all the items, but they've been on several times now so I'm happy with that. I think it works out about £20 to add, but has emptied another box in the house, so that's cool. I'll add the total properly once I've posted it.

    Well done jwil..good news on sales front. Sorry you're low. I certainly am feeling low at the moment and I think many of us posting on these threads are too. Is it because of the weather? Impending Christmas? Economy still screwed??

    Hope you have a good weekend

    Thanks Brizzle, hope you do too.

    To top off everything else, the bloody engine light has come on on my car again :mad: :mad: :mad: It's due MOT next month too, so it's bloody frustrating, I've already spent £500 and I can't afford any more!
