Getting back on track

DedicatedDFW

Hey jwil,

Have you any nice plans for your time off work?

Thanks for the info. on the listings - i will really just need to stick to FLW and not go over the 20 free listings - i don't think thats too hard at the mo. with everything having been decluttered but i do usually have circa. 100 items on with re-lists and new listings. Alot of my stuff at the mo. is re-lists and i will be taking it all to the carboot with me when i have enough stuff together to have one so then the 20 may be ample for me.

It is frustrating for you though - but as you say a good incentive to get as much on there as soon as poss x

Sorry to hear about the doggy damages - hope mr jwil wasn't too grumpy about it.

Well I popped home at lunchtime and one of the dogs has chewed a load of DH's stuff :eek: He is going to go mad.

She is a real chewer and I keep telling him not to leave it lying around but he doesn't listen. :mad:

Oh joy!

Well, it's not your fault, your DH will have secure his belongings a bit better. Hope he wasn't too cross.

My figures for April/May are beginning to look a bit scary as well, largely due to lots of increased expenditure. Good job I have that back pay to make up the shortfall.

Must do a car boot at some stage but it's going to be tricky because I only have one Saturday night free in April and May which makes a crack-of-dawn Sunday car boot a bit difficult. Will aim to do one on that free-Saturday weekend though, I have a friend lined up to help me. Might have to wait until June though and stick to ebaying until then.

Enjoy your holidays, Jwil. :easter_ba

Hey DDFW Yes, when the house is cleared, the FLW and 20 free listings will be fine for me too, it's just annoying now when I want to get loads on.

He wasn't as bad as I expected He's actually bought a couple of boxes with lids on them too to store it in now, so hopefully that is that!

I'm looking forward to the Saturday car boot sale opening near here, I like selling at that one, and it's an afternoon one. It means our Sundays are kept free for mooching around the other car boots. I don't need to add any more clutter to my house, but still like to have a look around. It's good for finding clothes for little jwil too

Aww thanks Giblet, do pop in more often, we are a friendly bunch

jwil

Well I've made one sale overnight. :T Small but all helps.

I've also had an enquiry about buying several of my items, I've sent a price, but not convinced they will be happy with it, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

We are heading into town today, I very rarely go in any more so that will make a change.

Hope everyone has a good day x

Phew about your DH's stuff.

I'd love a Saturday afternoon boot sale, that would be so nice. Must do a bit of looking around to see if there are any locally.

Sending positive vibes for some good Saturday afternoon boot sales jwil

Good luck on selling the bundle of items too x

Are you up to anything nice this week? We've got a couple of days together and are out with family on another day. What i need to do is make the effort for one of the days we have together to be quality time to be honest as when we're out with family thats easy quality time as we are actually going out so being in a new place etc. kinda makes me make the effort if that makes sense - at home its all too easy to curl up and have a lazy day Especially as i have been really tired this last couple of weeks

I have smashed my bay of e target for the month with 21 items (listed or ready to go on FLW :T) Might try and challenge myself to get it to 31 but i really am struggling to find anything new :eek: i just got lucky with a few bits in the loft that boosted my total listings

You are doing brilliantly with the listings jwil :T

There's two in Bristol on a Saturday - one at the fruit market in the morning and Whitchurch in the afternoon - that one's a good one, though I've only bought there. We weren't keen on the morning one.

There's one at the Sports ground in Burnham on a Saturday but I haven't seen if he's started that one up again yet. It's around 11am.

Blue Anchor in Somerset is the only other one I know, but that's presumably a bit of a trek. That's 1pm for sellers and 2pm for buyers.

Well done on your target smashing, that's fab considering you've run out of things to sell :T :T

We've been out a few times this week, and I'm having a day at home today. It's been lovely in this glorious weather!

This weekend we are mostly booting I think, hoping the weather continues

Thanks for this info, Jwil. Worth checking out some of those - will go as a buyer first.

What are you up to for Easter weekend? We are spending it at home with various family visiting in batches. Need to plan food and drink.

How is baby Jwil doing?
