£2.63 requested from TCB for am@zon and £14.28 requested as cash as that's the only option.
100 points on ips0s this morning and am@zon vouchers back in stock so requested £10 and now and only 160 points away from the next one. Hopefully someone on route to me to collect an item for £20.

You've been a busy bee.

That's a good point about people not having money to look. We've done fairly wel on eBay since the New Year but I'm amazed at some of the things that haven't sold in relation to some that have. So maybe you're onto something there...MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0

Fleabay item will sell today and two more items relisted, determined and motivated by SJ to get more of there...
Picked up the new car yesterday, washed the rubber mats from my old one and generally kitted it all out with my stuff.. looking forward to driving it, but need to get used to the length..
Got out for a few hours yesterday and kicked a ball about and tried to get the kids going on their bikes.
On other MSE news, DS has been dry for the last three nights, so I'm really hoping this might be it this time. DD was dry three years ago, but I haven't pushed him, figuring he will do it in his own time.
Loads and loads to do around the house today..fleabaying, ironing etc and must finish a Mr T order.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Quite proud that i have 8 items on fleabay - nowhere near SJ's level, but it's good for me.
Hopefully sold two items on a bookface selling site for £10.
Lots of stuff done round the house, might hunker down under the blanket this afternoon and watch a film with the littles.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Goodness, I got my 8 year anniversary badge today, 8 years!!!
To be fair, we've achieved a huge amount during that time, paying off over £60,000 of debt!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

I may have come across the Cath Kidson sale, so three Christmas presents bought and a bag for me.
I'm surprised at how much I have picked up already for next Christmas, determined not to have a big spend next winter on it.
Starting diet tomorrow (you've probably gathered I'm good at starting diets, less good at sticking to them) but I've done a lot of prep for this and I'm feeling really hopeful. One look at my wardrobe today and I'm determined to chuck loads of it out when it gets too big for me.
One fleabay item sold for £2 and £10 on a selling site, so not a bad haul for the weekend!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
