    Hope all you Mummies have had a lovely day :)

    I've done a bit of listing for DH today, and done my relists. I could only list a couple of my new items as there are limits on that category :mad:

    Yeah - that frustrates me too jwil - they seem really strict limits as well. Whats more annoying is i was pretty confident what i wanted to list would sell too Grr!

    Hope you had a nice day too :)

    This Mummy did. :)

    Though I spent it all doing stuff:
    • did two loads of washing, hung them up, took them in later
    • dug out 5 bags full of horse manure from a big heap up the lane
    • dug said manure into the bed for the raspberries
    • planted 10 raspberry canes
    • did some other garden pottering
    • took car to car wash
    • hoovered inside the car and generally cleaned it up
    • took son to and from work
    • helped get daughter ready for school trip
    • cleaned up some of the dinner as OH likes to 'leave things to soak'
    • did a 2-foot high basket of ironing
    I am away for a couple of days (hence the cleaning of the car - other people might see it :D). So have a good start to the week, see y'all later.

    Wow peaceandfreedom you got loads done ! :T Nice that you had a nice day too :) hope you have a nice break away x

    It's crazy - I only listed two items and they said I'd reached my limit. :mad: What's even more annoying is that I previously listed huge amounts from the house and didn't have a problem, but it appears because I haven't sold anything in this category for over a year there are limits again. :huh:

    Well I am skinter than a skint thing :(

    I have no money in the bank, and only a few £ in my purse :eek:. I need fuel, and it's still 2 weeks to payday. Oh what fun.

    I do have some money from amazon arriving soon, and I've just claimed £5 from a cashback site, and I think I may have about £5 in paypal too so shall withdraw that later.

    I'm sure it will all work out!

    Hello Jwil

    Sorry to hear you are having so much bother with ebay....can be very frustrating sometimes.

    Hope your money comes through very quickly for you. Not easy trying to make it stretch. You are doing so well each month so try and look at it that way. You are so persistent and always do your utmost to get through.

    How is your ebay going today. I sold another little book today, pennies but they all add up don't they.:)

    Thanks ebayqueen, well done on your book sale, they all count!

    My ebay is going ok, I've now got bids on two things I listed yesterday :T Hoping for some more soon though.
