    Yeah it's fab :) up to £50 now and counting woohoo. We're going out for free lunch today, but need to get back in time to check any last minute questions...you know there's always one!
    Hmm...it says I have 56 free listings left this month, I might have to get listing some more things before that runs out. I've got 3 more boxes to get through before I can open my haberdashery shop :)

    That's the 99p listings is t it? It's general free listing this weekend so you can list stuff you wouldn't be happy to sell for 99p.

    Hope it all sells today x

  • My ebaying has made £34 today, so much better than last week and it means I'm safely through to payday on Thurs without borrowing back anything that I've paid off.

    I hope they pay quickly though because I only have about £4 left in my purse! Oh, and because I spent less on food last week, I had lost 1lb, but this morning it had re-appeared - pah! :mad:

    Did a top-up shop for £33 today which included a £4 bottle of sink/drain stuff and my shower is still blocked:mad: and i have no idea how you access the pipe because its all boxed in and grr.

    We have also bought a laptop! It's 2nd had. OH's uncle had a laptop that he bought a few months ago but doesn't really used it so we bought it for £100. That saves us money as we were planning to buy a new one for £350 and it means I don't have to worry about this one dying :j oh and as it was bought outright, there's nothing to pay later, yay!

    my standing order still hasn't gone in and i'm a bit worried! hope i don't get charged. i've had no money all weekend :(

    i just feel really negative about living arrangements at the moment. i HATE it here! can't move though, so bleh.

    woohoo 20 things sold for a whopping £70, all started at 99p :) some people picked a bargain and some had lovely bidding wars. But that's 20 things left for me to get rid of woohoo. All unsold are relisted teeheehee

  • XSpender - have you thought about trying to sell them on fleabay? my workmate got £70 for his old iPhone before the 4s even came out!

    Kerri - well done on the fleabay sales! I'd maybe not waste a bottle on the chocolate mix, but it has to be worth trying. I'd recommend trying anything though - at worst, you waste a few £s, but at best you have years worth of personalised gifts! I'm infusing oil for my sisters birthday next week now.

    I've just about listed everything from my fleabay box - sold 4 items today (including a couple of dvds), and have 14 items listed. Only thing left to photograph is my jewellery and scarves, but I've run out of patience for it! I'll add all the sales together and update after I get paid next week.
