I've made a start on them!

I've had a message from a buyer saying the item I sent them is incomplete (I don't think it was). I was going to just refund as it's low value but looked at their feedback and there are lots of references to getting refunds, so I've told them to send it back. :mad:

Got a couple of items going out later so there should be a bit more coming in soon. Hopefully some of my non payers will pay up soon too, I'm waiting for £55!

jwil

Strangely enough the buyer who claimed their item wasn't complete has decided to keep it. So it does seem fishy.

The buyer in the USA does not understand my message that the video probably won't work, and what do I mean by UK (?????) So I have spelt it out in basic english and referred to us as England now in the hope that helps.

My expensive lot has paid :T And I sold several other items yesterday so have done a post office run, and made some payments.

I didn't get anything else listed yesterday, so MUST get that done over the next couple of days. I'm hoping for a free listing weekend soon so that I can get some stuff relisted. Lots of mine have gone out and I don't want to pay to relist them!

I'm pretty much up to date with surveys and hoping to cash out on a few soon, so I'm going to try and complete them promptly as they come in.

Oh another good night last night from little jwil - only got up to him at Midnight. He was awake at 3am ish, but I waited for a minute or so and he resettled himself :T

It's amazing how much better I feel having had some sleep again.

I've decided to start doing the 30 day squat challenge. I'm not in the right mind to diet despite desperately needing to, so I'm going to try and increase my fitness.

This will be a (painful!) start.

50 squats to do today.

Wow jwil! You're doing really well with the sales and your figures are definitely going down!
I don't tend to read much fiction. I tend to go mainly for biographies etc. that said, I did read 1984 again last year and animal farm. I have loads of books to read, I just haven't read them yet.

Glad baby jwil is sleeping better thought it was my wee monkey who still isn't sleeping properly through the night xx

Well done on the sales your total is definitely going down xx

Thanks tattycath, for some reason I'm having a run on my BINs at the moment, it's brilliant! Fingers crossed it continues.

I have a stash of biographies, but I prefer fiction. The biographies are usually books DH brings home rather than those I buy myself. I do like finding more out about people though and it can change my opinions of them in both good and bad ways!

It's so hard having a child who doesn't sleep well, especially when people say they should be sleeping through by 12 weeks etc. Little jwil has never come close to sleeping through, it was really getting me down, so these last few days have been a godsend.

It's nice that the sales are ticking over as it's keeping my motivation high. I must dig out some more stuff now though as I'm running out of what's already sorted.

I've done my 50 squats for the day (ouch!) I must try and remember to take my measurements so I can see if it makes a difference. Going to try and do some stomach and arm work as well.

Although I'm hugely overweight, I'm reasonably active, but I have noticed that I've lost so much muscle tone working in an office, so it would be nice to regain some even if I don't lose weight (which is unlikely unless I diet as well).

I've also managed to redeem £5 paypal from a survey site so waiting for that to come through.

I've noticed that one of my late payers has paid, so once that's posted I'll hopefully be able to make another small payment.

Filled up the car today. It is noticeable the difference in the cost of filling a tank now. :T I'm hoping that will last me until payday now.

I've got some expenses to do for work, I must get those in so I can have the money back!
