well done hm happiness!
It really is time well spent. im watching my ebay like a hawk @@ lol. ive relisted items that did not sell or did not show a interest, but i changed the wording, more positive wording, better photo, might be the answer, try anything i suppose.
Im off work fri and sat. so im planning my weekend entering on to ebay with nice ironed clothes, great photos and wording!
I hope you keep in touch. xxx:rotfl:.0 -

Hey there! Hm happiness!
Good you are getting on with making that extra money. i put ebay on my iphone. lol but as i use my phone for my alarm clock in the morning. its not good when someone puts a bid on your items and they ring through on ur iphone at 3am lol.. it happens often. i moan but still look... even at 3am. lol.
I know it sounds silly but im constantly thinking of how to bring in that extra money and how to save the extra pence! ive never been one to scrimp and save but i wished i had started it years ago!
much love pantherchick :beer:.0 -
It's Tuesday. hump day tomorrow! and im at training in the morning and a afternoon shift too! No extra shifts to pick up this week. So time to sort out me, and this house.
Today ive attacked some of the ironing. need to re organise the wardrobe space, maybe pack away some of the summer clothes and sort out the winter ones too! so my list starts today.........
Tuesday..... Ironing
wedsnesday..... take photos of items to put on ebay.
Thursday....start wrapping some xmas pressies, and make a list of other items to get for xmas. (trying to budget more this year)
Friday.... after adding up this weeks total cash input, edit my ebay with new items for sale.
Saturday.. organise my calendar and diary as alot happening in nov/ dec will need to make sure i am orgainised well.
sunday....... relaxing morning with the DH as working the afternoon.
MY Promise to myself week!
Still watching the spenditure on monthly shopping, still taking readings on the electric and gas we are using weekly. still not impulse buying. still saving my change, still saving my £2 coins. still in debt but not for much longer!
Is more happier now than has been for a few month. will be glad to see the back of this year, had a few set backs but feel im back on my feet again............
Ive learnt there's more to life now than spending money, it might give you a feel good feeling but not for long... i can honestly say, i feel better seeing money in my pot than spending it.....
So hopefully by the weekend i will be adding my weekly extra money earnt into my pot with a smile. i will update my signature too. next week my monthly payments come off my debts too! so a little more to that non debt barrier i go .

So sorry to hear that. Yesterday must've been so toughBut the most important thing is that she's ok
Hopefully you'll catch up on sleep in the next couple of days. How long are they keeping her in for?
