Today I have changed all the beds, given the bathroom a good clean. I've listed 9 new items to go on later and have adjusted many of my unsold items. I've relisted the ones that I've adjusted.

I've pulled off a load of diet books - I figure if they aren't going to sell in January then they aren't going to sell at all. I'll pop them out for car boot now.

I've also caught up with nearly all the surveys now.

Taken DH to pick up his car. He's had a very cheap MOT considering the age of the car. Better than mine!

Going to try and get some more stuff done now.

Happy weekend everyone!

I've been generally tidying this morning. I have started going through my wardrobe, but got distracted.

I decluttered a plate :doh: by breaking it. Annoyingly it's not one of the many plates I have that I dislike, it's one of my decent ones :mad:

I have sold a couple of items, but only low value. Annoyingly my bank doesn't allow you to make payments at evenings and weekends :huh: so I can't pay anything til Monday.

I really need to be hunting some more stuff out to sell. I have popped another couple of items on today, but again they are low value. I must have some hidden treasure somewhere!

Ooh looks like you made great progress against target in January - well done. That's weird about the bank not allowing you to make payments, don't they have online banking?

What a strange bank!!

Thanks guys. It's a completely online bank! But as soon as you try and make payments outside of working hours or on a weekend, you can only schedule it for the next 'working' day. Their 'faster' payments only go through the next working day as well. It's really annoying especially as my other accounts do it immediately any time of the week.

jwil

Really annoyed that I haven't got the free listings today :mad: Not on any of our accounts! I really wanted to get some stuff relisted.

Oh well, I'll use my 20 free ones anyway.

mfmaybe

I wonder if that's Within the Ts&Cs of faster payments?

Out of interest, what sort of stuff are you selling? I struggle to list 2 or 3 things a month, never mind need a free listing weekend!
