  • Hey jwil and everyone

    Hope you're all good :) and jwil hope you feel better soon - i know that feeling of feeling not 100% all the time - although it is for a very different reason to you and its good you will be feeling better soon :D

    I did have 4 new things for bay of e but thats been reduced to 3 a s i did give 1 item to a family member - anyways they will appreciate it so that is all good really :D I have to try and sort some more items out today but have alot to do and am getting to the stage where i've sorted out so much in the past there is very little if anything that i want to part with now :o But as usual i *need* the money :o

    I've not dragged myself to the carboot for a while - i think i mentioned that the one we usually go to stopped and the other one just ended up with us going for several weeks and not finding anything to but and it was soo cold! Might have a look round and see if any new ones are on soon.

    Hope everyone has a good day xx

    Well done on the listings everyone :) I've managed to get a few more bits on now as well.

    I've sold another few books, so that's 8 over this weekend, well happy about that :T I've also sold a couple of other items so that's good as well.

    Helloooo

    well i managed to list a staggering ....... one item on ebay. A book. I worked sat and then went to do food shopping. Yesterday did housework (no easy feat in a building site) and then because finally it was a nice day got all the horses rugs off for a bit and gave them mini -makeovers :D If my book sells for minimum and combined with my other efforts I have made £197 of my £200 extra target for Jan.

    Must do better in Feb!" :cool:

    Hope you and hubby are feeling better today Jwil.

    Well it's still one item decluttered when it sells, and that's a great result for your target if it does!

    I hope the horses enjoyed their makeovers :D

    Well I sold another book overnight, so very pleased with that result for the weekend.

    Had a consultant appointment and growth scan today so saw baby again :) Sounds like he's going to be like his daddy. It was also the first time anyone's been able to say with confidence that he's a boy so it's good.

    Annoyingly afterwards though the consultant sent me for monitoring again due to raised BP and protein in my wee sample :( All was well when I got there and they discharged me again, but it's getting a bit worrying now. Would like baby to cook for a little longer!

    Hope everyone is well :)

    Not much achieved today. I did manage to put in my expenses claim at work, thought I'd better get that done.

    I had to refund an item not received which is a bit annoying but was only a small amount so not the end of the world.

    I tried to withdraw some money from Paypal yesterday but it's still showing as 'pending'. Paypal was playing up at the time, so I'm hoping it will come through soon as I can't see any way of cancelling it.

    Hope everyone's had a good day :)
