    I finish for my long holiday tomorrow. AFK, if you are wanting an " organising buddy" I am happy to share the journey in a few weeks as I have lots to organise this summer. My list is long, but very do-able across a good few weeks.

    Bexster :)

    Oh, rub it in, why don't you :rotfl:

    Your on, Love this :idea: :D

    This will make me DO instead of :think:

    Off to start, yet another list . . . :whistle: just remember I'm working full time, whilst trying to -

    Organise, me, work, paperwork, life, house, garden etc, etc :eek:

    Small confession to make. Our bag of eBay staff is still glaring at me from the corner of the living room...it'll be three weeks this Saturday with no new listings!


    :naughty::naughty: That's no way to treat eBay staff :rotfl: no wonder they are glaring at you :rotfl:

    Get them listed, you never know . . . . . ;)

    One week on since payday and have managed to keep spends under £15 for everything (excluding bills & eBay postage). Not sure what the following weeks will be though.

    And since new bank account is open, and they "lost" my application for a switch, was disappointed I was losing interest for a week, so decided late last night to transfer a lump sum over, now earning interest on their limit :) could have done that last week when account opened, just didn't think :o

    There is always a way :D

    I've got pen and paper at the ready, going about the house/garden and if I see any jobs needing done/I want done, then they go on my list, along with any, that pop into my head. Can see I'm going to be very, very busy the next couple of months.

    3rd washing on, 2 out along with my Hungarian Goose feather quilt :lovethoug which is being aired. :D

    I am going to attempt to list 71 items over this weekend :eek: and came across quite by accident, a new way to list (to me, anyway) :doh:All because my brother has the usb charger incorporated in his plugs :p Hope it works out, fingers crossed.

    Hi AFK. I need to write a list of all the jobs I need/would like doing-of which there are many. I was only thinking about this earlier today.

    I managed one load of washing out and dried and back in today. Wash basket is empty. :)

    Good luck with the listing this weekend. I have made a tentative start this weekend. :)
    I would be keen to know your new way of listing-if you find it quicker/more efficient than your previous method.
    Fingers crossed for you. :D

    Been a nice day today, and now darkness is falling,
    I have to comment on the lovely bright full moon.

    Managed 38 items listed and 4 sold over the weekend, that's roughly half my target and 20 sold this month, better than nowt.

    Spendy day yesterday and today, but still under £15 total for the two days, all that included a 2 course meal out, drinks for 4 and afternoon tea for 2, so got a lot for my money, can't complain.

    A nsd today, and have just claimed for two surveys completed (that I forgot about) that along with my incentive from bank account, all paid to phantom account.

    Another 6 items listed and 1 sold today (so far).

    Lots still to list - keep plodding on.
