  • So quiet day today. More housework done and some more baking. Not quite an NSD as had to reply to an urgent text and only had 1p credit so had to top the phone up. I don't really use my mobile much so it probably only costs £20-30 per year. Have to admit I am slightly jealous of those with smartphones but I don't actually need one. Maybe when the debt is gone...

    Star news today I finally listed some stuff on ebay! Even if it doesn't sell I have plenty of other stuff I can try. Only pain is my paypal account is still in my maiden name. In order to get it changed I need to send them passport/phot id none of which I have changed yet because of the cost :( Thinking it may be easier to set up a new account....

    That's good! The main reason why I keep putting off listing my tat on ebay is that I am fearful that no one will bid on it.

    I'm sorry about the loss that you have had. There is too much of it about at the min ...

    Hi FF, just had a catch up with your diary. Sorry to hear about Mr FF's grandad, hope you're both coping OK. x

    And well done with the ebaying - you won't be surprised to hear that I STILL haven't done anything about mine!

  • Thanks guys. Mr FF is doing okay gets home later tonight. In other news I have a bid on another ebay item! And watchers!

    Like Snozberry I always thought no one would want to buy stuff or it would go for so little it was pointless but I'm now looking at it as 99p I didn't have before. If it doesn't cost me then its worth trying to sell. If not it can always go to the charity shop :)

  • Just a quick update on the ebay front. I sold 5 out of 7 items! I really didn't think I would but after fees I'll have made around £30. Its not going to make me rich but every little helps :)

  • Well paid the something off CC2. Unfortunately CC1's website is down so I can't make a payment or balance transer at the moment- bit of a pain but I'll get it done later.
    Actually a sunny day here today- managed to get a load of washing dry outside :j I know it doesn't seem amazing but it's taking days to dry in the house at the moment.
