Hey everyone
So much for posting more regularly
Still plodding along, listing, packing and postingI don't seem to be getting anywhere though which is frustrating.
Not much to report really, supposedly free listing again this weekend, so will try and hunt down lots. I'm also going to try and sell at a boot sale this weekend as well.
I actually bought something off ebay this week. I had a message from the seller saying they are on holiday this week so will post next week :mad: :mad:. !!!!!!! Why have stuff on ebay when you can't post it! I'm really annoyed but there's nothing I can do about it. They'd only listed it the day before too, and it was a BIN so would sell at any time! Grrrr!
Hope everyone is well"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Hey jwil - i feel your pain with the seller listing the item and then going away :mad: Very annoying - hope they are back soon then you can enjoy your item
I actually left a poor star rating on an item i got recently - it was sent in just an envelope with a 2nd class stamp on and i had been charged over 4 x the postage by the seller :eek: Which i was willing to pay as it was a high value item i expected it to be well packaged and recorded delivery. Grumble grumble
I am getting nowhere fast here either although i have got into a bit of a routine of shifting a minimum of 2 items a night and this has worked quite well for me this week. I have no idea where the time goes now though - i used to work 2 jobs, do MS's and write the reports and deal with all the surveys as they came in :eek: How?!!
Rightio - hope to catch up more this weekend but right now i've gotta dash - hope you are all good xxCC1:T £[STRIKE]2531[/STRIKE] £1460MORTGAGE OVERPAYMENTS: £10575.20 Target £12,100MF Date: [STRIKE]August 2042[/STRIKE] May 2035Declutter 1000 things by Xmas 2015! 53/10000 -

Howdy folks! Sorry I've disappeared again.
Things are tough here right now, I realised my maternity leave runs out 6 weeks earlier than I thought :eek:
I am dreading payday tomorrow, and am selling everything that isn't nailed down to catch up. It doesn't leave me a lot of time for anything else.
I'm still reading if not posting, and hope to catch up properly soon"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

That was my befuddled brain speaking
I don't need to go back til Feb (hoping to stay off til Jan) but my enhanced pay has run out so I'm on SMP now. I thought I had another 6 weeks of it.
Pay wasn't quite as bad as expected this morning, about £200 more than expected, *phew*.
Well done on the listings DFW, 20 is still impressive! :T"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Hi Jwil - sorry that the maternity pay dropped sooner than expected but good that it was also more than you had thought xx
Well done on the listings and its understandable that you don't have much time for posting right now.
Hope all is well with you all xxCC1:T £[STRIKE]2531[/STRIKE] £1460MORTGAGE OVERPAYMENTS: £10575.20 Target £12,100MF Date: [STRIKE]August 2042[/STRIKE] May 2035Declutter 1000 things by Xmas 2015! 53/10000 -
Hope things are easing for you jwil. How's your gorgeous baby?
Well done on the listing. I haven't been able to stomach it since the postage went up so much but do need to get a move on.

Hey everyone
Hope you are all well!
I've disappeared again. I don't seem to have any time any more, just desperately trying to ebay during all my free time. Loads selling but the house never seems to get better.
Things are very tough financially, hence the constant ebaying. Just constantly juggling things around. It's very hard.
I had a bad night last night so feeling shattered today, and not in the mood for more selling, though I ought to be!
Little jwil is doing very well and is 6 months now, eek!
Hope everyone is well"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0
