Hello everyone!

We're all up to date again with lots of percents being added! :T

I'm working on the official list of ideas to post up on the front page. I'm about half way through, so many great suggestions have been made!

I'm grouping them into categories e.g all review sites, crafting sites so that folks that are interested in one type of earning/selling can see all similar services that they can compare.

I'm having a few days hol at the end of this month, this is the first time ever I've not put a hol on my cards and have been able to pay cash! Even though it has been very MSE (researched SO much and saved quite a bit) This means my debt hasn't gone up and my percentages remain steady - which is great news for me!

I get to have a little break and STILL make progress.

Paid another couple of percent off this week.

Got a letter from HSBC which I was all excited about, turns out it was just one of their 'we're looking into it' letters. The big teases! Least it's better than rejecting the claim.:)

Big hugs all round!

Little Miss xx

Hi everyone
Another 5% paid bringing my total to 12%
I think I'm going to be a lot better financially without my ex, its a horrible feeling but I know it will get easier in time. I just need to focus on the plus points, like not having to buy so much food! lol

I haven't done a lot lately, but I have managed to get a stall at a vintage fair to hopefully get rid of some of the china that I have collected over the years, that I am now just seeing as dust collectors.
I have borrowed a folding table and am still sorting out what exactly I am going to get rid of. (And of course telling myself that I will be bringing NOTHING home with me that I didn't take in the first place) Ebay is really slow at the moment, I blame the Olympics! People are wasting time watching that instead of wasting time on Ebay! This time last month I had about 15 BIN sales, this month not a sniff>

OOOW AND I found a HUGE bag full of the old Polly Pocket toys all clean and in non broken state. As they are from the 90's they won't be classed as vintage, so they will go on ebay when I have taken all the photo's, not sure if to make a big bundle or 5/6 smaller ones. I know old games do well as a few months ago I got about 30 GBP from an old spirograph set and an old Sorry game. Both in perfect boxes and really good condition I was really surprised about that....... nicely of course.

I won £25 on premium bonds today but still not even at 1/2 a percent. I will get listing on eBay today.

Stupid question time but if I list today on a 7 day listing will it finish next sat or next Sunday. I'm thinking sat but counting it out gives me a different answer. Doh!

No, If you list them today for 7 days then they will finish next Sat....personally I prefer things to finish on a Sunday, because for some reason buyers forget about you not being able to get things in the post till Monday, and are getting antsy by Tuesday. Buying on a Sunday and getting on a Tuesday seems OK but for some reason not from Saturday.

Ebay is busiest on a sunday evening and thursday apparently. If you can get items to end around 7-8 ish more bids happen.

I have made a swanky spreadsheet that counts up the %age of each monthly payments and the total %age paid off. I only just realised it's free listing on eBay this weekend, will put the Wii and Wii Fit board on tomorrow. It probably won't make 1% to be honest, but it's a start. Will see if there is anything else to go on that it's worth starting above 99p. Got a pile of stuff, but I am not expecting much for most of it.

Ebay is driving me nuts just now. I have loads of NWT items that I have bought over the years, never got round to wearing or selling on but I am stuck with not being able to list more than 10 branded items in a month which is defeating the point of free listing weekends. Rant over!

I have got a few things listed but mainly things that didn't sell the last time. It will be a flipping miracle if I even make 1% at this rate never mind 100%
