    Well the business card was to enable my mum to get rid of some things she wants to sell - it was for a clothes shop who buy old clothing, and we're talking about right back to victorian stuff :D I love it in there :o:o

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Not much flinging being done here as have been working.

    Still loads to list on ebay, but haevnt got around to it and Pigpen is putting me too shame.
    I find it totally exhausting listing on ebay, theres so much to do, and think about....and tbh i cant be arsed... It can take me a couple of days to wash iron, photograph, list etc... perhaps i am doing too much at once? I felt totally sick to my stomach after listing 35 items last week._pale_

    Might try the *batches of 5* method like Pigpen, and list them onto turbo lister then list when have about 30 things.
    (I find i get more bids from the same people looking at my *other items* when i have lots in the same category - if that makes sense);)

    Anyway upto now....from the 35 i listed...

    4 sold already Total; £20.85 :D (this is top whack before fees/po/paypal etc..)
    31 some have bids/watchers.
    of the 31 , 11 have bids and these 11 end tomorrow evening.

    Managed to get OH to throw out over 200 cassette tapes today (he did manage to smuggle about 5 back in again) - he's been using MP3's and ipod for ages now, so no idea why he clung onto these for so long :mad: .

    However, if he finds out that I've got over 100 cassettes of my own, he won't be best pleased. At least mine are all nice and neat in a few sets of those old 'drawer-style' storage boxes (that's why he hasn't noticed them ;)).

    Hi all. Well uploaded 20 items onto ebay last night. Get so bored trying to write interesting descriptions for unwanted junk :p No idea how you can put so many on at once pigpen :o

    So far one is already being watched :)

    Got two bags in the car to go to charity shop tomorrow lunch time. Plus a carrier bag of stuff for my sister (including flylady book on loan). Also donated a wedding cake booklet to a friend who is planning her wedding. Have lots of stuff to shred though - and no shredder :o


    So In: a CD on loan
    Out: nothing today - yet
