    You're doing really well TC. really want to put some money in savings etc. but this month i am paying car repair bill and home insurance and next month is car insurance bill - this should spur me on to try and list more stuff for sale but i can only list what i find to sell which is not much at the mo. :eek: I keep trying to think of new ways to get a new income stream but i need to finish ou first before taking on a 2nd job :cool:

    Thanks.
    The problem I have is that I have no regular income now :( so unless I sell loads on the bay my savings are going to falter a bit. :(
    Best get selling!

    Stupid me! Didn't realise I had to accept the free listing offer before I could list and did bulk relists and got charged! Doh! Not a happy bunny! :mad:

    Good news is I still haven't had a smoke since Thursday night. :D
