    My list didn't get finished either.
    I've created a new to do list with all the jobs I didn't get done.
    I was supposed to get up an hour earlier than I actually did-so I can give myself a head start :(
    Oh well, if I didn't go to bed so late I might have given myself half a chance.
    I have moved some money around today and now have £500/£2,000
    That's my first £2,000 as I have a mountain to climb to achieve what I want to achieve.
    I have got a bid on something on the bay-hopefully there will be more bids as I have some stuff finishing later today.
    Right, best get cracking!

    Happy new diary! :)

    Do you use scheduled listings on ebay? It saves messing around copying listings in word etc.

    If you write your listing as normal on ebay, instead of getting it to start immediately, schedule it for as far in the future as you can (I think it's around 3 weeks), then when you want to upload it, go in and edit it to start immediately. It says there is a 6p fee for scheduling, but as long as you edit it to start at a different time, then you won't get charged it.

    I do that all the time, and upload things when I want them to start (including free listing weekends) rather than having to do the same listing twice.

    I like your thinking jwil. :D I will try to implement that instead of either trying to type them out at break neck speed or listing on word and then copying them to the bay. :)

  • Hi everyone,

    Sorry I've been MIA but I've had a mad few days, topped off with a toothache. :( I need to get an emergency appointment tomorrow. :(:(

    I'll come back tomorrow and fill in the blanks, but Dedicated is only half wrong about me being swamped by the paperwork! ;)

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry for my absence, but it has been very busy.

    My toothache was due to an infection that will lead to a root canal. Not great.

    Mummy PB has is staying for a few days, so I am trying to spend time with her. It's nice having her around.

    Yesterday and some of today has resulted in a MAMMOTH declutter. I'm getting rid of a lot of things that I might otherwise be able to Ebay, but there's just too much of it to list: I could still be here in 10 years time listing it, and I need the space and the peace of mind. I need to move forward in my life and it is stopping me from doing so. I'm keeping anything *really* good to Ebay, but not the *maybe* stuff, or tiny items that take time to list but are unlikely to earn me more than a pound or so. It's not necessarily :money:, but it is going to make my life SO much better that I am delighted. I need to move forward. This is the start.

    I hope you are all well. I'll catch up as I'm going. :)
