Getting back on track

jwil

Just redeemed a £15 amazon voucher from a survey site and received a £5 one from another :T

I only managed to get one listing done for me in the end, but did revise over 100 so hopefully that will result in some more sales.

I did sell a book overnight, so have another few ££ to add to my total.

I've got some items selling today, so fingers crossed they go up a bit now.

I'm absolutely shattered at the moment, hoping little jwil will start sleeping better soon. The plan for the weekend is to carry on sorting some stuff out and try and get some more bits ready for ebay.

For my payment targets all the easy wins have gone, so now I have to work hard to get there. I'm going to add another big payment on to see if I can get there.

We've purchased baby prison this week (aka a playpen). The hope is that it will mean we can pop little jwil in periodically if we need to do some sorting, as otherwise he likes to 'help' a lot and so it means we don't get too much done when he's awake.

I've added two new targets on to see if I can get there :eek: I've also totalled up so I can see how I'm getting on.

Another book sold :T Pleased about that.

I've got a very sore throat now, not so pleased about that. Hope it goes away soon.

Thanks Daisy Sleep is awful at the moment, I think he's teething, I'm up several times an hour I wish they'd hurry up and come through, it's been ages now.


How's your little ones doing?

Oh lordy jwil that sounds like a nightmare I really feel for you. I remember teeth taking aaaaaages to break through, it must be agony for them the poor things It will end tho, honestly

We had a baby prison for a while :rotfl: It was when we had a Labrador and DS1 was crawling, they were like partners in crime and I couldn't cope with them at all when I was cooking, so I used to put one or both of them in the playpen :rotfl:

We are good thanks, having two is magic but exhausting and I really have to be realistic about what I can achieve in a day, especially when baby star is so small. If I lower my expectations - like, REALLY lower them - then my days are generally much better!!

Glad all is ok. It must be very hard work with two, I find it hard enough with one!

Well I had quite a few sales yesterday so adjusting the listings seems to have worked

I've still got a couple of unpaid items as well, and a few more items going out over the weekend so happy with that.

My items are about to sell.

How do you post yours? My higher value items in the past I have always posted recorded delivery but these smaller ones just seems a waste of postage? Do you find many don't turn up?

I use standard post and get a certificate of posting which covers you up to £20. Higher than that I send recorded or special.

I use collect plus sometimes which is £4.80 for up to 2kg and fully tracked, you can just drop it off at a local shop.

If it's a 99p item and UK only I'll just pop it in the post box and not bother with proof of posting.

I don't get many item not received so I'll take the risk on low value items.

Well I didn't get anything listed over the weekend. I will have to do better this week. I really want to clear the £500 in my target this week, that will be a practically impossible task though. I shall see how I can do though.

I did have a few sales, so have withdrawn another £21. Unfortunately most of that needs to cover a dd I'd forgotten about :mad: so I won't be able to send that anywhere. I'll still have a few ££s though.

I'm still waiting for a few more to pay as well.

I've got lots of spends coming up too.

I've got a birthday this week, so need around £20 for that, and another next week so the same there.

It's our 11 year anniversary later this month so would be nice if I had some cash for that too so we could go out for a meal or something.

I'm also supposed to be meeting a friend for in a couple of weeks time too.

Then finally, I've got a nearly empty tank of fuel again so need to fill that.

I'm due a dentists check up too now. I'm back having to pay after my free treatment whilst on maternity.

It's neverending!
