bails -thanks...............seems a fair bit of interest in this sort of thing so it would be a useful thread I think

Post office run was painless this morning, no queue either before or after me!

When people pay straightaway I always get the stuff out either that same day or the following morning, but I'm not so bothered about taking an extra day if they've taken longer to pay.

I'm now waiting for payment for 7 things, one of whom is having problems and sent me a polite message explaining why payment will be late. Most people don't bother do they?

Now to decide what's worth relisting... probably not much

I've got 11 payments outstanding.. 3 are sending postal orders and one has asked if it is ok to pay on thursday.. nice buyer! lol.. she wants another item as well.

I have a few I'll relist and a lot I'll charity shop!

I must get wrapping though

I always keep the unsold stuff for a few days in case anyone contacts me to say they missed the auction end but want the item. Yes, it does happen!

I've got one single solitary item left on ebay now, it's been on before but it's camping equipment and maybe there is more of a market for that now as people look towards summer holidays

Anything else I find can wait for a promo listing day now.

I've finished de-cluttering one small corner of computer room !!!!! Everything looks much the same (only tidier) but I know what I've got rid of in the way of paper and stuff ..........photos waiting to be stuck in an album are in one of my little decorated shoe boxes ...............I even shredded up a load of bills from 2003 !!!! Very satisfying that was.:T

Tomorrow I see my counsellor so depending on how I feel, I just might tackle the c*** under my computer desk.....................lol

Great Mary! You've just inspired me to sort out the (very small) pile of recent tickets and stuff that I've been collecting to put in my son's ticket album.

Had a look at the unsold stuff and the final score is:

Keep - 3
Bin - 2
Relist - 8



Winner of the largest item from last night has just paid :j so another big box will be out of the way tomorrow. Yippee!

I've found something else I can declutter!!!

I have a plastic ziplock wallet and it contains:

- My old travel/entrance tickets (sadly not the complete collection)
- Loads of old sports and concert tickets (some big names & big events, might try ebaying?)
- My old appointment diaries and address books (I could try looking up some old friends on facebook, haha)
- Few other misc bits

I should be able to get rid of half of this lot

pigpen

I have paid my ebay fees.. aren't I a good girly?! lol.. and the rest is mine.. mwhahahahahaaaaa...

I haven't had time to do anything let alone sort through my remaining gibble.. The children have been little sheets tonight and are going to find themselves in bed in about 15 minutes.. I have mastered the art of getting 6 children in bed in 15 minutes.. but the little 3 are shattered so I'll do them first.

I haven't done anything other than catch up on the laundry and pot washing today.. I am such a slob I really need to get back into the flying..
