In the Lowest Hour

Hello All,


Ok I had a fall this weekend ( makes me sound 80 lol ) so very black eye and bruised but all ok in the end - Just look like I have a thing for purple eyeshadow or goth make up


I will have this weekend plus today and tonight (If I don't end up being caught up in the voice) listing 50 -60 items on ebay - Im not sure how much this will net me - not a lot as its the final lots for sale.


So 40 currently listed and aiming for 60 if it doesn't get to late - it takes ages though but I will be pleased of the pennies when they come in.


Changed sign tonight to reflect savings goal.

Hello Money on my mind

The feeling of insecurity is the worst part of all this.

When I was single, I got myself out of credit card debt by initially cutting up the cards. I then created a form that I filled in each night with what I had spent. The form was on the bedside table. 60p on a twix bar, it was written down. Everything. This turned the tables for me. I would fill in a budget vs actual listing every weekend to make sure I knew I was on track. It turned the tables because I knew how much money I had before the bank did.One pound underspent in one category meant that pound could be deployed for debt relief or an upcoming bill. Eventually, instead of being out of control and at the mercy of others, you are very much in control and calling the shots. It takes a while to get there, but with tenacity, you can get there. No problem

Hope this helps,
TE.

Wow Sam you put us all to shame with the ebaying. I have had my first bad experience and it has put me off a bit. I only have a few small items left so I'm thinking of adding them on Shp0ck. Have you had any dealings with them?

The amount of money you make extra is incredible, well done.

Take care.

Hi Tinks - I know don't let it get you down there are some real rotters out there. No never done Shpock but seen it on TV


Well done you too on all your money making - even if its a few pence we have made its a few we didn't have before :T

I have worked out that I should stand to gain £150 - £200 ( Praying ) from 3bay this month asI have at least 46 items listed - i'm too tired to list more but will keep adding a few each day ( maybe). Already have £100 in sales so fingers and toes crossed . Although any money made will go to the dentist this month..lol

Now aiming for 220 on the 3bay sales so 20 for fees and around 200 profit .
Will update with how I get on by the weekend.

Hello gorgeous,

Wow on the eBaying! I think I need to do the few items a day as it feels so daunting having that amount of items ready to end at the same time.

Your savings are looking great.
