    Thanks everyone :)

    I didn't hit the £1500 target but I've listed tonnes of stuff so hoping for some good sales.

    I'm really hoping they continue with the free listing all month offers for at least the rest of the year, it's so handy not being limited to weekends or specific times.

    Little jwil has been in for his op so is recovering nicely. He's got to stay home from nursery for a week so it will be hard to get a lot done with both of them home, but I'll see what I can do.

    DH has prepped a load of stuff to be listed so that will keep me busy!

    I've been feeling rough for a while but hoping a lot of it was anxiety and it will settle down a bit now.

    I've updated my payments for this month. I'll call it quits now and just set my targets for next month I think.

    Thanks retired :)

    The first target is a longer term one, but the others I'd like to clear as much as I can. Best get selling :)

    How's everything with you?

    Yesterday I calculated my end of maternity leave, have sent it off to be double checked. It means I'll get a bit of a wage in November which will be nice! I have some KIT hours to be paid for too, but figure that if I add them to October's pay it will be swallowed up by the childcare vouchers which they are still paying me, so I will add them to November's pay as well.

    I tried to do a load of listing yesterday but ebay wasn't playing ball with the photos so that didn't work. I'll try and catch up today with that lot as it seems to be working again today.

    So I spent a lot of yesterday catching up with surveys and have redeemed for £15 amazon vouchers. I'll try and do some more today as I'm getting close to redemption on a couple more sites and the vouchers would be handy for Christmas.
