    Dh has taken little jwil out for the day so it's just me and little miss. However she seems to be on destructamode today so I'm not really achieving much!

    I did manage to get a load of listing done this weekend, and another batch of sales so that's good.

    I've looked at some of my bulkier listings that have been on a while and reduced them to 99p auctions. I really hope they don't go for 99p as I'm sure they'd sell better later in the year, but I'm fed up with them being around and want them gone.

    The house is feeling really cramped again at the moment as we've sorted a load of stuff to go, but nowhere to put it as the van is at the garage. DH suggested he might do a charity run today so hoping that's happened.

    The van has been in for mot but on picking it up, there are crucial mistakes in the paperwork and something that is an MOT issue is not working, so wondering whether anything has been done at all :mad: Hopefully that has been sorted today as well!

    Oh forgot, received a cheque for £23 for an ebay claim :T That was really quick as I only did it about 10 days ago. Hopefully that has gone into the post today, I forgot to put it with the ebay stuff.

    I've also just checked one of my debt levels. It had been sold on before I had the fees refund, and they didn't seem to be getting the updated balance. Thankfully they have now updated it.
