Another ebay sale of £17 :j just three things listed now, all on buy it now, may change it to buy it now or best offer to entice people...

NSD still in tact, save for ebay postage which doesn't count. Big pan of soup made, working tomorrow morning so that's a few more pennies in the pot x

Morning All,

Two more sales last night netting £20 in total :j need to list DD's old school shoes today (still in fab condition).

Working this morning, then out for dinner tonight but being treated by in-laws so happy days.

£3.50 challenge still in tact - spent £1 yesterday on one of those little mechanical rides for the kids but 52p remaining! Really chuffed with how this is going.

Better dash back later xx

Another £10 buy it now sale :j end of August target was £9k, hmmm, thought and action needed to make this happen...

I could set myself an eBay target and sell anything not nailed down, but am I ruthless enough?

atypicalblonde

I still have 50p of our £3.50 challenge left

Very pleased with how this has gone. Have got a food shop coming tomorrow as we are literally down to the last bit of milk, no eggs etc but have done a shop at Iceland to see what it's like. Amazed at what I got for £54!

oooo! let us know what it was like as I was toying with the idea myself

Final eBay item sold overnight for £7 :T which rounds the weeks ebaying off nicely.

I have identified 3 more things I could list, will see if inspiration strikes later! Had a good letter from our accountant yesterday, we are due a tax rebate. No idea when we will get it or if it will be sent by cheque/BACS but when it does arrive it will be going straight into the savings pot.

Best get a shuffle on x

Really impressed with the quality of what we ordered so far. Delivery was on time (and free!), delivery chap very cheery, I think I may be converted!

Weather here gorgeous already. Having a day out to local festival so plenty for kids to do. Will get some washing on the line shortly and cook a full English.

So not much MF stuff today, but my eBay summary page tells me I've earnt £170 in the past fortnight - v happy with that x

We got a couple of deliveries from Iceland and it was all quite good quality. Sadly the nearest one to us here is about 90 minutes away...though it's in the same area as a chocolate shop so maybe we could do a road trip.

Beyond tired today. Poor night sleep, got up at 4am to watch the boxing (treat for DH), and he's working all day so just me and kiddies.

Done loads of laundry inc our bedding, emptied and sorted DS wardrobe, and generally cleaned round.

So a NSD which is always good. Have pile of stuff to put on eBay but no inclination at all. Must must try harder.
