Hi everyone,

I've had a rubbish weekend, me and my partner split. But on the plus I don't need a ps3 anymore so should get a few % selling that on ebay and all of our camping stuff. I'm gutted but the only thing I can do now is move on and concentrate on clearing these debts!

Will update as soon as I've made some %'s

So sorry to hear that clairelg88 - sending you lots of hugs ooooooooooooooooo

I am pleased to report that I paid in my £217 earnt from craft fairs at the weekend so my:-

Member 17 - Total is now 53%

Thank you so much Little-Miss for keeping track - big hugs for you too xxx

Oohh almost forgot - went into city centre today and did not spend anything on craft items (despite my favourite Docrafts stockist being based there!!) - I'm well chuffed with myself

No 45 back again.

I sold a piece of jewellery on e-bay last week (£3.00) and some craft stuff (£3.50) - not a lot, but 3 more pieces are being watched, so the potential for another £15.
I'll be listing another 20 items over tomorrow and Wednesday instead of watch Create and Craft.

I might have another craft fair to go to - a half day 10a.m. start till 1.00, so hopefully I will be able to sit quietly for most of the time, and it's indoors, so it will be warm and dry.

I got £15 worth of vouchers towards washing powder/fabric conditioner/air fresheners today because I complained about the new powder I was using not cleaning as well as its previous edition (I'd bought 3 on a special offer), and marks were still on after 3 washes, and the smell was upleasant.
I don't usually complain, but it annoyed me that "New and Improved" wasn't, but was more expensive.

I'm going to get some little boxes and have project boxes, so maybe this is something you could do if you feel sad about letting stuff go?

great idea thanx, to be honest i've not really made anything since i was pregnant with my first and he's 21mths now, just kinda lost my motivation but would love to get it back and i think your idea may help

Ive taken pics of the majority of baby things i have to sell and set up my own little page on fb for them, have also started to list other things from round the house on there too like old phones and my stella husky fridge i have in my room (once full of alcohol now full of bottled water and juice - tut!) ...now for hours of endless promoting on selling pages lol

Sold my gliding nursing chair for £40 earlier so thats just over 1% sorted for me ...woo!

Hope everyone else is doing ok x

I'm up to a whole percent on ebay if all of my buyers pay up, and the auctions don't end until Sunday My mum also does my Irish Lottery for me and there's enough in my winnings envelope to finish off a percent Happy bunny here today!

I've been doing it from the other side, having no time to ebay this week. So far, by taking pack up lunches and breakfasts, doing an inventory of my cupboards to use up what I have (saving money on weekly shop) and changing up my penny jar, I am 1.2% of the way there. £84 saved.

I'm appalled by how much I was spending on dumb stuff, and amazed by the jars of change!

Hi everyone,

I've just sold the ps3 on ebay, I put it on for £150 or best offer, someone with 0 feedback has just bought and paid for it. I don't know what to do, he has also messaged me saying not to forget to send it recorded as its a high value item and not to send an invoice as its a birthday present. I looked on his account and he's only joined ebay today. I'm really not sure on this, anyone have any thoughts?

Hi Claire, if he's paid and you've got the funds then go ahead and send, I agree with the recorded postage as it may get lost or sometimes people say they havn't received it but he can't do that with it being signed for I hardly ever send the invoices lol
