Thanks DFW
Well an unexpected afternoon off today as little jwil isn't very wellSo got called to pick him up. We had a terrible night last night so presumably he was brewing something. Taking him to the docs in a bit.
I don't really feel like doing anything though, so just sat decluttering magazines while he was having a nap and now just mooching around as he's quite happily playing at the mo.
I did manage to get another 17 items listed yesterday. That means I've smashed my target for this month :T
They are saying on the ebay board that it's another invite only free listing weekend this weekend for 4 days, Sat til Tuesday. So it's worth keeping an eye on your email/ebay accounts. I haven't seen anything in any of mine yet.
Sorry Master jwil is poorly, hope the little man is feeling better soon.
Well done on your listings-you put me to shame
The excuse for my procrastination this time is because Mr tc has hinted about us having a break for a few days...if my auctions finish whilst I'm away it will not be a good thing.
I might try to do some 10 day listings actually...that should combat it I think.GE 36 *MFD may 2043

I'm sorry to hear about Master Jwil as well, but go you with all the Ebay listings.

Hi jwil,
I hope little jwil feels better soon and that you can get a rest / good nights sleep xx
Huge well done on your listings :T That is brilliant :T I will list my items this weekend that i have organised so far - it is a struggle to find the other 19 of 31 items but i will do the bits that i have and am moving to the under the stairs declutter next so will see if i can find anythingI am very much getting to the end of my decluttering now - when i go in a drawer / open a wardrobe etc. i know i'm happy with everything in there. Last 2 areas for me to declutter now are living room (already started) and under the stairs (starting today).
Adding to the 'how we list things' chatter - i never edit photo's and my descriptions are pretty brief but do cover everything. If anyone wants to know anything extra they message me - i've been asked for measurements of arm lengths of clothes etc so not really something i'd have included in the description anyway.

Thanks everyone
Sadly a rubbish weekend, we ended up in hospital with little jwilAll is fine now though and he's back to his chirpy little self thankfully
So no listing done this weekend, and I didn't even get invited to the free listing party *hmph*. I can't really complain though as I've had every other one.
We did do super well on the sales though so that's pleasing although it means I've got a lot of packing to do now though. That probably means I won't have a lot of time for putting anything new on though. DH has sorted a few things out to go on, so I ought to try and do that if only to get them out of my way!
I'm shattered after the weekend, and have ANOTHER cold :mad: but shall keep plodding and do my best.

HI jwil, I hope your little one is ok and on the mend.
Sorry to hear you also have a cold, I hope you feel better soon.0 -
Ditto: I hope that Master Jwil and your good Jwil self are both back to your best soon.
And you can still free list a bit tonight, if you like.Debt: £11,640.02 paid in full! DFD: 30/06/20

Hi jwil,
i am glad little jwil is ok now - but am so sorry he was ill and can only imagine how worrying that was for you ((hugs)) Glad he is better and hope you are on the mend too ?
I had a couple of items i couldn't put on yesterday due to computer problems - these are possibly my last 2 items to list now though :eek: Until i go off somethingWell done on all the sales - i know what you mean though packing takes ages, as does listing and then last week i was in the post office nearly an hour what with the queue and everything!
I have no help re. cold - for me i always seem to get one when the weather changes and constantly have a supply of tissues on me xCC1: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 -
How scary ending up at hospital. Hope he is doing ok now and that you are coping with your cold and having to work and look after him.
I am hoping I dont get a cold in the next couple of weeks as my first event of the season kicks off with my horse and I am already dreading that I am not fit enough!
I just cant be bothered with ebay at the moment but really admire the way you keep at it. I always think the worst part is packing and taking it to be posted! I do a couple of things at a time.0
