    Re ebay/amazon - I am taking the kids skiing tomorrow all day, but will [STRIKE]nag[/STRIKE] gently persuade OH to make a start on looking for stuff/photographing and then I will carry on when I get back.

    I will be aiming for £50 profit after fees and postage...........

    Just lookin at my signature and I realised next week we'll be half way through the year and I'm well on track with my 3000 overpayments challenge :beer: I'm really chuffed with this as I was only going to aim to save 200 per month which would have made 2400 in total for the year, so I'm glad I set myself a higher target ;) ... maybe I should aim for 4000 next year :rolleyes: :D

    Off to a good start so far, have put the first lot of washing on, put the dishwasher on, tidied the whole flat ... then realised I forgot to put that on the list :rolleyes: :rolleyes: , but t least its all ready for cleaning now ;)

    Plan now is to clean through, clean out the piggies, hoover through, take the rubbish out, stick some more washing on then have a shower, pay in the cheques and go out for the afternoon :D That should just leave the ironing, party invites, car tax and changing the beds left to do ... the car tax I will do tonight online, the rest I'll do tomorrow along with the ebay bits ;):D

    Just got back from shopping and have made ds tea. I took the rubbishh out earlier but when we got to the bank they had just closed so will have to try again during the week.
    I spent 30.00 while I was out, I bought a skirt for 15 (reduced from 47;) ), another skirt for 14 and a cute little pink bag for 99p in a charity shop :D

    I've put 4 things on ebay tonight, 3 of them are relisted items though so I haven't really done much :o IF they were all to sell it would make me about 20 quid though :D

    I've also made some rock cakes and caught up with a friend on the phone :D

    Ooh... ebaying. You are *so* good at that. I have to confess yesterday, by the time I'd spent all that time in the garden, done my twice weekly call to my mum, watched Dr Who (well, thats important too :rotfl: :o ), made my tea, I just lounged on the settee like a dead thing. Oops! And meanwhile, you were ebaying. Bad me! Hope you enjoy today.
