  • Your ebaying puts me to shame - I always have such good intentions and never get round to it!

    I need to buy lots of stuff so I can ebay it :rotfl:
  • Afternoon all,

    I have one more item to list today which should net us around £30 with a bit of luck.

    DH working away all next week, and it's the penultimate week of the school holidays. I have £3.50 in my purse, a well-stocked fridge, freezer and store cupboard so my intention (:o) is not to use our debit card AT ALL this week (save for ebay postage), and just use that bit of money I have. It's been a while since I had a little challenge, so I am really up for this one

    Morning all

    Up early with DH going to work. Kiddies watching kindles in bed next to me and I'm having a brew to come round.

    Today's priority - I need to focus on getting some bits on eBay. Will also make a big pot of broccoli and Stilton soup which will do for my lunches this week. It looks like it's going to be a nice day so the kiddies can play out. Penultimate week of school holidays about to commence!

    Meals will be freezer surprise all round :p. Uh oh just had to issue a screen ban warning if they don't stop bickering (it's only 7am :rotfl)

    Have great days all xx

    Edited to add - just had a £20 buy it now sale :)

    Edited once again to add - item I listed last night just sold for £40 on buy it now :)

  • Thanks AFK, I am chuffed :j

    Working for a couple of hours this morning, then will post eBay items. Trip to the park on the cards this afternoon.

    Let the £3.50 cash challenge commence :eek: (excluding the eBay postage, obviously)

  • Oooh everyone in the ATB house is grumpy today! Kids are bored (I'm sure when I was a kid I never used that word!) and I had instigated a screen ban to try and encourage them to actually PLAY together!

    I have two more bits to list on ebay so that will be 4 things remaining on there. If I got £20 for all of them collectively I would be chuffed.

    Spent £1.98 from my £3.50 stash today on biscuits, bananas and ham!

    Must confess to having had a shower and already in PJs :o
