    I've just seen the offer for 30% reduction on final value fees for 3 listings today and tomorrow, so I'm going to see if I can find 3 high value lots to list to take full advantage of it.

    I know DH has something expensive he wants to list so I'll try and persuade him to get that on as well.

    We will be going to the seaside later for a nice walk along the beach. It's a tradition we do here on New Years Day. Hope everyone has a nice day xx

    Happy New Year, Jwil - have a lovely walk on the beach. :)

    That's sad and happy about little Jwil but you'll be surprised how quickly you'll all get used to the new arrangements. Awww, your little boy is growing up!

    Am impressed as always with your ebaying efforts over the past week or so. I have, rather predictably, listed nothing. :rotfl:

    Thanks P&F :D I can't believe he's growing up, nearly 2 now!

    There's plenty of time to get things on ebay :D I've just listed 8 items :D I like to try and catch bored people on holiday.

    Have a good day.

    Well we are back from a VERY windy walk on the beach. Nice but chilly.

    I've sold another item today. Only low value but another thing gone.

    Little jwil is at nursery tomorrow and DH at work, so I will have the day to myself. Will try and get some stuff done.

    Little jwil has just been dropped off at nursery. He couldn't wait to go bless him.

    So now I have the day to myself :T Time to get cracking on.

    I have now thought of two items I will sell to use the reduced FVF listings on. Just to find one more. These will hopefully go for a little more than most of my stuff where I only get a couple of ££s for it.

    Another payment made this morning so will update the figures.

    Another small sale made so will get that in the post. I'd like to look out a lot of new stuff today as well.

    Well best get on then and stay away from the computer!

    Having a quick break.

    I've sorted out the airing cupboard and have a bag of rubbish, a load for recycling and a big bag of baby clothes to sort through and get rid of (I think I dumped it in there a while ago meaning to go back to it!)

    I've got a video playing in the background that I want to sell (it's not available on DVD so hopefully it will) just to check that it's still working ok.

    I've taken the Christmas decs down as well. Normally I'd have them down by New Year, but little jwil loves the lights. Thought I'd get them taken down while he's not here so he hopefully won't be too bothered.

    Right. Must get back to it. My wardrobe is the next target.
