Lovely when little ones are snuggles up, I need to look at finding some more eBay things, got a couple to look at putting on but think I will wait until the next fee listing weekend but I will get photo and descriptions ready otherwise I know it won't happen x

hey yummymummy- sure I've seen on here that this weekend is a free listing weekend?

Ive been up most of the night; got a streaming cold and very sore ear catching absolutely everything at the moment.. think you get very tired and rundown with lil ones.

Hope you feel better soon, xxx

On the blogging front, there is a good book called Blogging the Essential Guide by Antonia Chitty and Erica Douglas (two ladies I know but I'm not on commission or anything like that ) You could also check out a site called Britmums and a website called ProBlogger, hope that may help. Basically sign yourself up to a blogging system (Blogger is free) and start to post, there's also a thread in the Boost your income forum on here to help. I started a blog back in 2005 as I had articles about a certain branch (if that's the right word) of parenting and I loved working on it, I don't have time these days but another one I started turned into a more professional website and gets regular income. The important thing is to find your own voice and post good quality articles, I would recommend a blog called NurtureStore for you to look at, I know that gets tens of thousands of visitors every month, also Englishmum.com, I'm not putting the links as I am in a rush, forgive me but I hope some of this may be useful for you. Also Stickyfingers1.blogspot.com. There are some very friendly and kind people involved in 'mum' blogging who will help you out, and there are free events and support networks, people can get addicted to it but it can be worthwhile for all sorts of reasons. Writing this has made me want to give it another go!

Yay well done on starting with ebay- its free listing this weekend.

Thanks for the encouragement- trying so hard.

Im a new mummy-my little girl is 17wks on saturday, she is such a blessing, the road to getting her, was bumpy (as we had two miscarriages) but so worth it. She is gorgeous and such a happy lil girl. She is snoring in her cot next to me as I type. Snuggled in her sleepsack with raymond rabbit nearby.

Still feeling rubbish my princess and I are off to the Dr later...

In the meantime I am trying to be a good girl...have tons to list on ebay so have been making a start on that... (would never be able to list it all at weekend when free). Have even been adding leftover jewellery stock; bracelets, keyrings and bag charms from craft fairs- dont have enough for another stall, and what with babysitting, transport etc rarely cost effective as lately they have been very slow. Wont get much on ebay but will get more space...

Have also order all of my princess's baby food jars for the month ahead now that we have started weaning- boots have 10 jars for £5 so did an online order, even went via quidco for cashback and got boots points... how very MSE. :j Had toyed with getting blender and making all myself but then would need a much bigger freezer to give her lots of variety, and buy the time I have brought blender, ingredients etc wasnt sure would be saving.

Bless her she has just fallen asleep on her playmat. Think it may be mummy nap time too...

:j

well this mummy did not get a nap but did list another ten items on ebay and join trailerapps...

Turns out I have an ear infection and a virus according to the Dr, no wonder I feel so rubbish and my ear is killing me...He thinks my princess has a virus too... I seem to be catching everything at the moment, the Dr said its very common in new mummies...

Have now listed 12 items on ebay today, lots more to list over the weekend. Really hoping for lots of bids/sales so I take more off debt.

Paid £14 off my debt for the payment a day challenge today, and paid £50 off the overdraft for the one debt 100 days challenge... So really pleased with that. :T:T:T

Just added up and since the 14th of January when I started I have paid an additional £329 off our debt in addition to our normal payments... Thats in just 25 days. Well pleased with that....:T:T:T

haybel19

Well not a lot to report... have been a naughty girl and not added to my sealed pot for the challenge or made a payment a day as a little skint...

Have listed 13 more items on ebay over the weekend though- so that should help.

I've also been neglecting swagbucks... somebody tell me off please...

I am however on target for the make £10 a day challenge- have made 101 so far... and have four more ebay listings closing today... two of which have bids...
