    Abis... I have a mountain of stuff to photograph and list so you have company in your boredom.. if that makes you feel better? And you get round the business seller thing by having 2 or 3 accounts! ;)

    I've just asked them to revert my account back to a personal account but they need to look in to my sales figures and will let me know within 72 hours apparently.

    I wanted to list things on a buy it now, but as a business seller I have to offer a 7 day refund period with that. Which I don't want to do! I want to spend my money, not give it back, lol!!

    I've got nearly 1000 feedback tho, which I think helps people to trust you when you are selling things. I might have to set up a new personal account in the meantime and buy a few things on there to get a feedback score going. Can you link a different ebay user id to the same paypal account? Or will I need a new paypal account?

    Well I listed 9 things on my local facebook selling page instead. And there is NO way in the world I would have pulled my finger out to do that if it wasn't for this thread - so thank you all for being my concience :rotfl::rotfl:

    And hopefully I will get my ebay account reverted to a personal one due to my poor performance in the last 6 months :rotfl:

    I didn't manage to do anything else on fridays list - but who cares?! - I ate the frog :cool::rotfl:

    Hope you ebaying is going well pigpen :A

    DS decluttered to GF's. I have suggested he gets GFs who live a bit closer as I have been night driving up the Peak District :eek: to Tideswell. As I dropped him off I told him to get the bus back :rotfl: - he's not coming home until tomorrow though.

    beds to make.

    I have spent large amounts of today decluttering Dave's excess energy! We've walked round the long loop, and the short loop, and a sort of combination where we did the long loop up to the Roman ruin, did a circuit of the Roman ruin, backtracked on ourselves to the bridge, then instead of going straight home, turned right and did the rest of the short loop. Thanks be to any deity who cares to take credit for my mobility buggy!:rotfl:

    Morning!

    Bright here today but looks cold. We're in pretty good shape here. Might do the kids beds today and get the bigger quilts on. Tots are playing aeroplanes, littlest has just put my seatbelt on, lol.

    Other than that, we might go to the centre and look in wynds@rs world of shoes, also a b&m there...

    And perhaps some weeding and tidying at font of house...
