    A day at the office. day off tomorrow. yay.... but a heavy week to look forward to...


    One item on fleabay as bought in £9. to add to my pot... although I might have to use this to pay for the fire surround ive bought off a family member. got to fetch this week end....
    Im making money to spend it on my house as it really needs upgrading if I want to sell it, so every little helps....


    Some items on fleabay are being watched but no bids. will need to add a few new items tomorrow to fleabay to start my pot off again...


    Have to shifts this week that's over time.. paid in early feb so might add to pot, but wont get paid till early feb.... didn't want to start picking up shifts to bump my money up.....


    Really should start clearing out the understairs and the shed. loads of things have been wrapped up and put away... fleabay material I guess.


    Mse love to all my mse friends xx

  • I admire your motivation to ebay! I was thinking of just taking some stuff to the cash4clothes place, as I lost love for ebay last year after a few non paying bidders. Might try it again for a month, then go back to plan b!

    Good thing to treat yourself every so often, otherwise you'll find yourself falling off the wagon! ;)

    Hey there... yes ive been back on the old fleabay tonight... ive noticed that if I rotate my unsold things and change/edit description abit, they actually sell. although everyone wants something at the best or cheapest price. we the seller want the most we can possibly get.... stretching that last pound is getting harder....
    Ive had to do a to do list, I fear that the sorting out and the decorating are just not getting done... in my head they are but not on the ground.... really need to push myself. but after a 5am start in the mornings, I really don't want to be decorating late.... xxx

    Mse things done today.... hmm now let me think....


    is going for lunch good if you didn't pay... I did offer but my sister decided it was her treat... didn't feel bad, offered twice but got rejected.... :) I love sisters...
    went to meet a friend after wards at a well known coffee shop, bought a nice latte as a treat... did feel alittle guilty I was wasting money... not very often I do this these days....


    So ive added a few more pounds to my total this month so far. mainly fleabay sales... im trying to get to £75 that's what I need to give my family member this week end for the fireplace and surround I have bought of them... if I can use this money then its been worth it... its like recycling really isn't it... sell what you don't need to pay for something you do..........


    Tonight I have wrapped up the fleabay sold items. will take to the post office after work tomorrow...
    I've also listed another 5 different things.. and rotated a few things that did not sell this last two weeks. altering the details and price abit to entice buyers......


    I've read the word moxam tonight about selling books so im going to check that out soon, need to clear a lot of books....


    Food wise.. we are eating from the freezer and the fresh stock this week, the shopping we did last weekend is lasting and we are getting decent meals from what we bought... will be shopping again at [EMAIL="li@l"]li@l[/EMAIL] I feel we are saving, picked up a few essentials yesterday the norm like kitchen roll and toilet roll. dish washer tablets were half price so I grabbed one of them too.....
    From tomorrow I have quite a few shifts at work and feel I just may be tired in the evenings. so if you don't hear from me ive not ran away with the lottery winnings or anything sinister.. ive fell to sleep on the sofa after a long day at the office... will add my overtime to my pot by the end of the month.....
    good night mse land... xxx
