    People often don't bid until the last min so don't give up on ebay just yet :)

    Got eBay ending tomorrow and no bids yet but staying positive. The camera ended yesterday and had watchers but no bids, going to advertise it on facebook as that's free, then list it on next free listings day.

    Sold an xbox game to a friend for £5 :j not got the money yet though.

    Still need to send the cex/we buy.com trade in DVDs and games off, but do I pay to post them or is there a free post? All I have is an address to send it to in their email when I completed the trade :/

    Payday hopefully tomorrow, will be able to work out % to hoard away then :)

    Night all x

    Hi all,

    I've transferred some paypal money but won't count it until I've actually paid it onto my debts, you never know I might need it...
    I've listed a few jobs on fivesquids, 4 of them have been approved so hopefully I'll get some income from that.
    I'm thinking of maybe looking for a second job, I only work part time and my wages are gone before I see them!

    Oh to own an ice cream van on a day like today!

    My friend not only has an ice cream van but it's also a 1962 VW camper van in pastel pink! She is a beautiful thing! And she makes him a nice weekend bonus as well!

    Paid 2% towards my catalogue account, from my partner's wage (leftover from paying the rent!). So that puts me on 7% so far...

    None of my eBay sold today but I do have a 99p bid on an old magazine ending in 2 days.

    Got paid today but not had chance to look at figures yet x

    Got bids on four items so far, 3 at 99p (more of a clearout thing than a moneymaking exercise but still every little helps!) and one thing at 9 pounds with loads of watchers and a day and a half to go :) quite pleased with that one! Glad it's Friday though, I'm knackered. Today will be another long day though as we are getting another dog, so who knows how that will go.

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time

    Seriously got ebay fatigue. Think it's all the digging out boxes and wrapping. Think I will go on a 99p little item bonanza for a bit. Anything that can be stuffed in an envelope or wrapped in brown paper. Need to keep this up. Just waiting for some funds to clear to add another %.
