    Morning Jwil

    I like your kind of de-cluttering too :):):)

    Well done everyone! :T Thanks for running the challenge DDFW, it is helping focus the mind somewhat.


    I'm not feeling good today, DH was snoring last night for the second night in a row. I came down to lie on the sofa for a bit and the cat was playing and the dog was snoring too :mad: I forced myself to get up this morning though and so have walked the dog already. It was frosty out so nice and fresh.

    I've got to work tonight as well which I'm not looking forward to, so doubt I'll get an awful lot done today.

    Have a good day everyone :)

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hi all

    Looks like everyone has been working hard on the challenges and decluttering..well done. I am back today with some gusto.. making bread, LOs dinner and jacket potatoes and sending off ebay packages. Am a bit worried re one Ebay sale - whether the buyer will be Ok as we didnt expressly point out a defect.. we did offer more photos and explained it was rusty etc..but you never know and I am now seeing shadows..certainly there was no attempt to deceive..just guess its all in the eye of the beholder?

    May be looking for advice soon from the seasoned ebayers amongst you!!!

    Have a good eve guys. Lovely sunny day here..its been great

    Having a little break before I've got to go out again. Bleurgh, I hate presenting.

    Brizzle - I'm always completely paranoid about things I sell, whether my perception of condition or any fault is the same as someone elses - particularly when something sells for more than I expect.

    Hopefully it will all be ok for you though.

    Hi brizzle - i'd say you've sold it now so try not to worry and at least you know if they do come back to you it is genuine and maybe something can be sorted out then?

    jwil i am sure you will be brilliant :D

    hi peaceandfreedom - how are you ? :)

    Glad it went well hon :) Hope you sleep well tonight. I've felt rubbish today but having had yet another terrible nights sleep i'm quickly learning that the sick feeling is just because i need a proper rest - hope its just the same for you and that you are better tomorrow :)

    peaceandfreedom - just wanted to share the good news - remember i said i had stuff i'd relisted about 4 times on eb*y - paid for 1 listing and the rest i re-listed on the free listing days - well i sold 7 items yesterday - all re-lists :) And i've sold 18 today - all re-lists And i've got 4 selling tomorrow - only 1 of which is newly listed :T I've not worked out the profit yet and waiting of quite a few payers but think i've sold £100 worth of things easily :D And this hopefully means i'll get the money in my account to cover those 2 credit card payments :cool: So still not towards the £1000 - i'll just have to find more stuff to list :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks peaceandfreedom :) i'll be honest though once i start listing its not so bad - these things i'd put on between 5 and 10 items a night - when they were first listed and had some items sell first time round that was good as i was getting sales and payments in just about every day for a few days :D Relisting 100 things took a bit of time though :o
