    I'm tempted to join in too but I seriously have nothing left to sell.. Sallyx and I may do a no unneccesary spending challenge for June.

    I agree with Hypno... BBAM is super organised, she puts me to shame!! I'm going to have to have a major tidy for her visit on Thurs :rotfl:

    Thankyou Dragon, I spoke to her last night and she sounded amazing, its phenomenal the progress she's made so quickly, just 2 weeks ago she was having brain surgery and was told she could have ropped down dead at any minute :eek: :eek: and already she's up and about and even managed a quick walk along the beach :T :T She sounds soooo positive which I think has helped her a lot, she said she appreciated every day like never before and is so very grateful to be here :D:D

    Wow that is incredible then! mind you a friend of mine had brain surgery 10 years ago and says she has never looked back!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    Okay, seven items listed now and if they all sell (4 x buy it nows and 3 x auctions) that would get me about €40 ;):D However, we all know how slow ebay can be so I'm not reckoning on it actually reaching anything like that :rolleyes:

    I'm off to bed now as I'm getting tired, but I might take the laptop with me and start figuring out postage prices etc for a few more bits that hopefully I can get on in the morning :D

    :mad: :mad: :mad: Grrrrr .... ebay have removed one of my listings because it violated their drugs and drugs paraphenalia policy :eek: :eek: ..... it was a pack of hayfever tablets :rolleyes: :D I had to buy them yesterday as part of a mystery shop I did, but as I dont suffer from it I thought I'd stick them on ebay, I dind't realise you couldn't put medicines on there, I suppose it makes sense though really as kids could in theory buy it, but then again, they could walk into a pharmacy and pick it up off the shelf like I did :rolleyes:
    I put another lot of hayfever relief tablets on too (2nd mystery shop from yesterday) so I am waiting for an email to say they've removed that one too :mad:

    Hmmm, there are plenty of other similar items on ebay and I even listed it in a category called "over the counter medicines - allergy/sinus products" ... surely hayfever tablets would come under that?? I have sent an email to ebay asking them to explain what is wrong with it so I will upate you when/if I hear from them :rolleyes: :mad:

    How frustrating! I can understand prescription drugs but over the counter stuff shouldn't be banned. Good luck getting it sorted.

    Typical bank holiday weather here today, its peeing down :rolleyes: :rotfl:
    Plan for today includes ds making my mum and dad a new home card for tomorrow, we'll probably make some fairy cakes too. Lots of ebaying activity ;) , possibly some ironing :eek: , and not a lot else right now ;)

    I might try and sneak a little nap on the sofa later too, I didn't go to sleep till gone midnight last night and ds woke me up at 5:45 this morning :o:o so I'm feeling tired already and I'm not even dressed yet :rotfl:

    Okay, time for a list, if I don't do one I won't achieve much today, so ....
    • Ironing
    • Ebay 13 items (making 20 in total)
    • Bath for me and ds
    • Print off and laminate my mortgage chart
    • Ds new home card for mum and dad
    • 1/2 hour practising writing / pen grip with ds
    • 1/2 hour wii fit
    • check out where to send old mobile phones to
    Thats it for now, I'll add more as the day goes on :rolleyes: Then again, if the sun comes out like yesterday I may just abandon the list and go out instead ;):D
