    i burnt my first ever shredder out. Now i've just got one which cost me a tenner. It's enought to pay if it's not going to last long.

    Productive day here, got rid of a small amount of stuff after sorting out all the following (second pass for most of these):

    Computer/telephone/tv cables, little computer hardware "bits", sewing kit, buttons, repair kits, shoe cleaning stuff, small household & bike tools, spare light bulbs (fully low energy now), household cleaning bits, computer and business manuals/leaflets, "tiny bits and pieces" such as screws, pins... all beautifully sorted into compartments!!!

    Went through my computer CDs, got rid of old computer program CDs I no longer use, sorted out my backup CDs.

    Will do the rest of the shed properly when it gets warmer but it shouldn't take long as it was done last summer.

    The finish line is most definitely in sight! :D

    Ebay update - Of 157 items sold so far this year, 156 have now paid! Given up on the last one, will go through the non-paying procedure.
    :j Year to date total (before fees) is £1,251.68! :j

    Of the 51 CDs I've listed at fixed prices this week (mostly relists from failed auctions), 17 have sold and 34 remain. Hope some of those shift this weekend.

    Kaleoma, how long to run on your auctions? Maybe see how it goes this weekend and then drop the prices on Monday (if they are not rock bottom starting prices already)?

    missyg most of items finish tomorrow-loads of watches but nothing moving! Did dead well last week all of the items which were finishing on Sunday sold didn't set the world on fire but £70 is better than a kick in the pants! Have since sold another item on BIT:j so feeling a bit better:rotfl:

    Hopefully you've got lots of last-minute snipers there lined up and ready to buy your stuff tomorrow! :D Fingers crossed for you and anyone else with auctions ending tomorrow.

    That's what I am hoping for-given that half of the stuff is things OH bought on a whim:eek: and are things we will never use so am selling back!
