Happy Monday Everyone!

Only Managed 5 smiles this weekend due to the dreaded lurgy striking both the boys this weekend, so still have savage roots and a dirty cooker! Love this thread though, as it ikeeps me focused and lets me concentrate on the things I did do! Got 31 on ebay which I am really pleased with, and even have a few early bids!!

Linz - I think the star is a wonderful idea x

• Fix savage roots ASAP :eek:
• Put Cheques in the bank
• Post Parcels
• Package up big box for Zapper and send
• Return Hubs game to Blockbuster
• 200 on SB
• 5 business Ebay
• Finish DY review
• 1 survey
• Try TC yet again RE Wheelchair dimensions!!

Aw hope you get somewhere with the wheelchair dimensions today - must be driving you mad!!

Well done on getting stuff done too despite the Lurgy House wish i could get more ebaying motivation up......will see how i get on today :rotfl:

Thanks Fairy - It is driving me mad! Only our second holiday abroad with little man, and he was a baby first time so was a lot more simple, just a buggy! He walks which little crutches mainly, but not sure what the terrain is going to be like so think we had better take the chair too - don't know why they are so particular on dimensions really, I think most of the funky buggies are bigger but Hey Ho!

Good Luck with the ebay motivation - Hubs has said I have until Little Man goes full time in September to turn the shop into a business that actually makes money or I'll have to get a 'proper' job! I think we have differing view on profitable though - as long as I can cover my bills with enough for the occasional day out/choccie bar/magazine I'm happy!

6. Hang up another wash that OH did yesterday
7. Contact post office about claiming for lost goods
8. Start sorting out craft stuff into my lovely new plastic drawers
9. superpoints blog write up
10. check balances on credit cards/loan
11. do a survey for challenge
12. boost sb by another 50
13. play through woohoo points
14. contact sky to reduce cost
15. see if i can do more polls on toluna today - finished them all yesterday!

This is my 'Stash The Cash' tin FC

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130643111114?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649


If I don't start putting a £1 a day in now, I'll never have enough money to go to the Gambia next Easter

I bought this tin because I can't get into it (and therefore can't raid it), and I like to poke fun at depression so I like the 'keep calm' bit!!!

I am with you on this one - I would SÓ like to turn my shop into a business so that I could give up work and run a little business from home.
My trouble is I love sniffing out a bargain for re-sale but I find the listing so tedious!

I would also like to take up voluntary work like hospital visiting. I always feel for those who are in hospital and have no family or who are lonely

As far as ebay goes, we will just have to keep on encouaging each other but congrats on listing 31 - awesome :T

Linzight

Thanks everyone, my Dad thinks it's a good idea so I think I'll go with it despite the fact OH thinks it's cheesy!

1. Superpoints DONE
2. Swagbucks to 700
3. Clean g/pig cage
4. Put some content on new website
5. Figure out how to link to multiple eBay items
6. Maximiles Daily Polls/Videos
7. Order Mum's bday card
8. Think of what to name my Mum's star birthday present!
9. Sign and sent back new contract
10. Do last iPhoto order

Well after posting my list this morning i fell asleep again - i feel like sleepy sickness has taken over my body at the min i didn't wake up again until 2.30 so not got too much done yet and needed to remind myself of the list :rotfl:

right then, off to woohoo while i look for necklace.....why i didn't leave it out when i found it last week i don't know :mad: anyway lets hope i haven't hidden it from myself again

Have you found the necklace yet FC?

TM6

Can we list our ebay names here - are we allowed?

I love being nosy to see what other like minded people sell. You never know we could generate sales by selling to each other

Good idea or rubbish idea?

OK thats going to be a busy day if i get that lot done :eek:

I feel like i have got nothing done today - took so much time contacting credit card people but at least i now have the current balances ready for my DMP review.

My stash the cash tin is one of the counting money boxes - i have one for 1p 2p 5p 10p 20p 50p and now £1 - saves me so much time trying to figure out if i have any full bags for lodging cos i used to think counting it helped it to grow :rotfl::rotfl:

I am just going to try and save £1 everyday and then when i go to the bank to make a mortgage payment i can take my pounds stash with me to pay off the overdraft

Really struggling to motivate myself to do anything more right now not sure what's up with me today think it might be the ebay gremlins in my head! LOL

Added: Got some more bits added to ebay - not adding too much as it completely freaks me out having to sort out too many parcels all at once - adding BIN stuff rather than auctions and hopefully that will spread things out a bit more than everything finishing at the same time!

Also got survey done - think i am just going to do some work on my patchwork bag this evening and have a wee relax

Have a great evening everyone xx
