Thanks for the reminders for s&s uploaded.

Managed a new review on dy and trying to get through some rating.

Had a family day so not done anything all day. Youngest son isnt very well think he may have an infection down below, so looks like a trip to doctors tomorrow.

Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

Any chance I could jump on this thread? I've been lurking for a while and am working towards a cost neutral Christmas for 2012. I've joined quite a few of the survey sites, as well as opening Etsy and Folksy shops where I can sell upcycled items that I make in my spare time.

don't know how reliable, but on the Boots thread, it says 18th for 75% sale. xx

I had a photo problem on Ebay too - I had plenty of photos, but the uploader wouldn't work for me. Like you, I'm not posting them without pics, so after an hour trying, I gave up too.

I often have problems putting pictures on ebay when its a free listing day. I still list the item and then add the picture the following day so I don't miss out on free listing. I don't think it puts people off they just watch the item and bid after you have put an image up.

Hi everyone, been out of action today with an eye infection but after some rest I can actually open my eye without too much pain so thought I best get on with things as it's a busy few weeks. Just done S&S thanks Elysia.

Think I will be joining you on the Etsy/Folksy front when we move. I have my shops opened, just need to have time to fill them with goodies

Thanks mum2one, I will be popping up to Boots over the next few weeks so if it is on and I can get my wifi working I will post a messgae when it's on.

just need to reference my assignment and it's going off. It's not the strongest of work but it will have to do. I can't re-write a paper with an eye infection, need to rest my eye as much as poss. Elysia has you paddy bingo tracked yet? Mine hasn't, I wont panic yet but just wanted to check I did it right. Didn't win more than a few quid but spent it all now lol.

Shall reference this work and then get on with viva. Hope your all doing well x

Evening

Quiet weekend, I am still plodding away with the little bits of surveys that come through, although none today. I am also really trying to up my swags......

I was suppossed to be getting some computer bits to list from dh's friend but they haven't materialised yet? I think he mumbled something about needing to dig them out from the spare room... In the meantime I still haven't fully commited to selling my double pushchair, I love it too much:P I have however, decided (finally) to sell the psp's and all the games that are sitting gathering dust in my kid's bedroom.... I just need to find the charging cables and they are ready to go. There is 2 psp's, 2 cases, a camera, and about 16 games. I don't think I will get them on ebay before free listing ends, so I might hold on to them and list them next time it comes around

Hope everyone is keeping well x
