Getting back on track

Hi jwil. Loving the shiny new diary.
I shall follow this with interest and I might join you in trying to list £30 worth of stuff a day-I've got loads of stuff to get rid of as usual-both mr tattycath and I are collectors of all sorts!

Hi jwil, loving the new diary, have subscribed.

Your sounding very motivated at the minute, well done on all the ebay listing.

jwil

Thanks guys Nice to have some company!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with endless belongings tattycath

I haven't managed to get £30 of listings today, only a couple, but I will do some relists.

I have been car booting today so got rid of a few things, not too much but it all helps. I didn't buy anything either so was very good there :T

I haven't manage to list anything since midweek-until today, I put some relists up .
We always manage to have loads of stuff jwil! I think some of it must sneak in when I'm not looking! :rotfl:

I agree, since I've been off, I've sold so much stuff, I'm taking sacks to the sorting office to drop off. Yet you still can't move! I have no idea why it's not going down at all :eek:

I've sold a few bundles of stuff this weekend, Yay! Low value stuff which has all been listed before, but suddenly people have decided that they want it all, it's great! Because it's lightweight stuff too, it costs as much to post several as it does one, so they are getting huge postal discounts too which I hope pleases them.

I've used collect + for the first time today, which works out way cheaper for bulky stuff. If it all goes well I may use it again. (I've been put off before by collecting something from my local shop which had been trampled on behind the till :mad:)

I have not listed anything today. been busy though, doing other necessary jobs.
Can't do any listing tonight either-and t's free listing weekend :mad:
I intend to list twice as much tomorrow. need to try and find some higher value items as my car is draining resources at the moment so it is proving to be a very expensive month.
I am hoping to raise at least £200 (preferably £300) after fees over the next 4 weeks-fingers crossed.

I didn't get anything new on for me either, though I did list quite a bit for DH so that helps anyway.

Fingers crossed you get the £300, I feel your pain with car troubles

So I didn't get anything new on this weekend for me, though DH had a lot listed. I did however, sell LOADS! :T

Today I haven't managed to list anything either but have done a load of relists, of which one someone wants to buy it now and I'll probably let them.

I've spent the whole day packing stuff - one person bought 35 items from me :T It took ages to pack though as I had to double check each item. A few haven't paid up so still more to go.

The numpties are out in force though - people can be so annoying sometimes!

I haven't done any house cleaning either so I'm slacking there too

Our washing machine started leaking everywhere last night I think it's blocked, so fingers crossed I can google the issue and fix it ourselves.

Also half the lights on my car have stopped working too DH reckons google that too and see if it's something simple like a fuse. It's already got a sensor fault that needs to be fixed, and I had to get a new alternator last month too. MOT and insurance due in December.

We've got our £200 heating bill to come on Wednesday as well. It's never ending! We are supposed to be going away to visit family in October, heaven knows how we are going to pay for it!

Well done on the eb@y sales :T
Sorry your washing machine and car are playing up
I know what you mean regarding expense-there is always something!
I have sold a few bits today on eb@y so that's an extra £16 ish after fees.
Put a couple of relists up tonight and a couple more bits-total value about £80 -fingers crossed they all sell.
