Leggings :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Seriously i have way too much stuff!! that i need help to part with I've even searched around on-line for helpful info. on capsule wardrobes but to no avail

E-bay challenge :think: what do you think about finding and listing 20 items this month ? (nearly 1 a day ) Is that too many or too few ? What i tend to do is put what i've selected together in a bag ready to list. I then find some motivation from somewhere and start listing - if i'm happy with a 99p start i list it straight away, sometimes i'll pay for listings and other times i schedule the listing for later on but then if a FLW happens i just cancel the scheduled start time :cool:

Let me know what you think and we can keep track of how we get on

Sounds about right to me. At least we could start there and then try for more next month if we manage to beat the target this month. Finding 20 things will be easy for me...it's the listing them I find tricky. Also, I've noticed that there seems to be a free listings weekend roughly once a fortnight at the minute. :T

If DB isn't coming over tomorrow I'll start then as I'm at college tonight.

I've got 1 item ready to go PB so its a start

A little warning that i may go quiet on here for a few days which is poor timing in a way with the bay of e challenge but that will run all month so not all bad

I'm just feeling really rubbish at the mo. i'm really struggling with the next 2 assignments for ou, work is carp and i'm completely and utterly shattered The tiredness is making everything harder so a good nights kip should help The ou ?? maybe sleep, maybe not thinking about it - hard to do when its so massively important to me work is work - it pays the bills.

Then again i might pop on here with a super long list :rotfl::rotfl:

2 good things today - a car had to wait for me to cross the road to turn i scurried and did one of those apologetic acknowledgement type wave things only to see a super gorgeous guy grinning at me from behind the wheel - ok he *may* have been laughing at my attempted run but a gorgeous guy smiling at me gave a lovely little lift to the day
2nd nice thing today a guy sat next to me on the train for a few minutes and told me about all the wrong trains he'd caught that day :eek: i gave him an ETA after checking to make sure he was now truely on the right train home on my phone - he was genuinely amazed that i'd gone to that 'trouble' for him - no trouble whatsoever

See - those 2 things have totally lifted me :T

Hope everyone else is good xx

That'll do for now and is probably a bit more than a 1 day list :eek: so we will see how i get on - am a tired sausage and there is, as you can see such alot to do!

PB - i have the opposite problem to you in that i am finding it hard to find things to list so 20 is a bit of a challenge - 4 items selected though which is a good start at least

Positive vibes on the assignment please people
