  • I'm also pleased to see you are back - I have missed your posts. Your relentless enthusiasm for ebay puts me to shame. I have recently decided to get rid of a few things and my strategy is only have one thing on at a time to keep it manageable for me and to try to keep the momentum going. I was almost disappointed when the first thing sold overnight!


    What is the significance of the numbers in your signature?


    All the best for chipping away at that debt a pound at a time.

    Wow, lots of visitors! Lovely to see you all :D

    Glad you are ok retired, hope the better days are more than the worse ones.

    Daisy - little jwil is good thanks - still no sleep though :eek: How are your two doing?

    Chocforever - I'm not sure that 'enthusiasm' for ebaying is the right phrase :rotfl: Slow and steady is good, and annoying though it can be it's nice when something sells quickly!

    The numbers in my sig - they are the two biggest debts. The first is my loan - so the number in brackets is the number of months left. I want to clear this one as it will free up a lot of cash so it is my main focus.

    I managed to get another few items listed this morning. They are scheduled so will upload later.

    I sold another item overnight and then another one today, so that's good. All packing and posting is done now.

    I haven't done any surveys yet today, but have a lot waiting to be done.

    Before I stopped posting, I had started posting a list of what payments I wanted to make each month in an ideal world. I might do that again, will need to have a think.

    I did win the Euromillions last night, but it was a whole £2.80. That has been reinvested in a ticket for Friday's rollover instead.

    I've signed up to another survey site today rather than doing any of my existing ones.

    More cash hopefully :D I tend to do the surveys in 'down' time, such as lunch break at work or when I'm uploading stuff on ebay rather than spend time doing them when I could be doing something else more productive.
