    Definitely not exploiting eBay enough - got DS's old laptop still sitting here that has a broken keyboard and a broken digital camera (motor) but with all the bits/accessories - wondering if either or both are worth putting on there?
    Absolutely get them listed, I also sold a broken camera, which reminds me, I have another broken one to go on too :j

    I've started a list of stuff to eBay now - top of it are the broken laptop and camera. :D Will wait for a free listing weekend - Rach - that avoids paying fees to list an item if you start over 99p...or something :rotfl:

    Inspired by and thanks to SkinnyLatte for that :T

    If you have new selling account then you may well be restricted to how much you can sell at first. make sure you p&p is accurate as you can get hammered in feedback for over charging ( even by a few pence) and then you can be thrown off, barred for good:eek:

    I sell on Ebay have sold some strange stuff in past!
    Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi :o

  • Oooh! I didn't know you could sell broken things! All sounds quite exciting now I've got the debt busting bug!

    Still two days until payday! DS asked for travel money (he's going to see the play 'The Weir' in the West End with school tomorrow. Already paid for trip.) He's also going camping with Scouts/Explorers on Friday (another £15) at least I'll be paid by then. Got £10 until Friday. Hoping gas/electric lasts till then :eek:

    NS lunch and NSD :)

    Work too manic for words. Crazy deadlines. Have so much work already lined up for Saturday! :eek: Going to mum's on Sunday> She's having two of my sister's youngest. My DD will be in her element. About £15 petrol but then will have dinner for free! Will have a walk around a lake and get the kids to the park...will be freezing though. Hopefully meet up with the DB and his DD :)

    Already looking forward to this working week to be over!:eek:

    Take care all

  • Worked flat out today :eek: Deadlines deadlines deadlines :eek:

    Spent £3.20 on milk and 2 for £2 Kingsmill bread.

    Electric on last £5 should last till Friday. Same with gas.

    On a course for two days. Got to work out the logistics.

    Slow cooker chicken tonight.

    Got to lie down and watch TV in a minute!

    DS complaining of something worrying him in the 'private region' (TMI :eek:) so that's worrying me a bit. May be doctor's for him tomorrow.
    :eek: Always something to worry about!

    Hope you're all having a relaxing evening

  • Hi Ali

    I'm not honestly....just don't have any choice! Spinning those plates. Been researching for DS on internet. He's going camping at weekend and needs his bags taken tomorrow so need to fit in visit to docs for reassurance.

    Pay day soon...can't wait!
