    Hi all

    I managed to make another payment but this will probably be the last until next pay day - total paid £622.

    #12 Pd £622.00/£8,300 - 7%
  • Good Morning all!
    I'm just quietly sat here waiting for pay day so I can throw some more ££££ at this. I'm really excited about getting this sorted this year.
    Also I will be receiving a large cheque (large in my expectations) of a couple of thou in the next few weeks and I'm giving serious thought as to what to do with it. I think a large chunk will be going to taking my total down.
    Hiya all
    Just wanted to put that although I may not post regular I will be reading every day
    Xx
    I also want to assure you all that you may not hear much from me but trust me....I'm here and reading!

    A day off for me today but as my normal work day starts at 4am my brain woke me up hours ago!

    Have a great day everyone!

    Honestly I couldn't tell you. I put loads of different stuff on and it's usually the things I think are "rubbish" are the ones that sell.

    The way I look at it is even if it goes for 99p, it's better in my pocket than being thrown into the bin or a 2nd hand shop bag.

    I was given this cheap Christmas brooch as part of a Secret Santa gift and I stuck that on, I'm also trying to sell some Winnie the Pooh items and an expensive brand new Kipling hand bag............ the flippin brooch is now at £6 and the Kipling bag I've been trying to sell for months now and still can't sell it:eek:

    I always start my items at 99p, and let them go from there.

    But you're right, people want things for nothing these days:mad:
    Currently I have 3 items on buy it now, worth far more than what I have them listed at, one I have on at £10 and someone keeps sending me an offer of £1:eek: They haven't taken the hint that I ain't selling it for that price:rotfl: It came all the way from America and can't be gotten here so tough lol



    Thanks, maybe I will give it another go this month. Am I right in thinking that each person still gets so many free listings??
