    Thanks Diz, the day was lovely. I really enjoyed myself.

    Now the amazon and e-bay money is mounting up I really want more. Does that sound greedy??? I'm desperate to get rid of all the clutter that's in the front room and make money from it but it's just taking ages to sell.

    The witch is back in work today so I'm hoping she's not going to put a damper on my good mood.

    Hope you all have a lovely day and catch you later. x

    Have been neglecting my diary lately but just not feeling very enthusiastic about everything at the moment. E-bay and Amazon really slow and got so much on over the next week or so that involves spending money that I seem to be flagging.

    Had another late night last night and when I did get to be which must have been around 2.30 am I just couldn't sleep, got lots going on in my head. As a result have been absolutely shattered today. Am going to have an early night tonight and Ill see if I wake up with some more enthusiasm tomorrow. According to Mystic Meg there should be lottery luck for me tonight (me and every gemini in Britain!!!!) but I've put the lottery on just in case :)

    Hi GR
    I know what you mean about the spending money part. It's easy to think 'what's the point when I'm having to spend it' but I guess the difference is it's not money on a credit card, it's real money, and that's were the plastic money has been really clever, tricking us into thinking it's not real money. IFKWIM :D
    Ebay is wierd sometimes...I can sell 3 or 4 things in a day and then dwindle to 1 a day if I'm lucky!
    You never know, it could be us sharing that lottery tonight (fingers crossed)
    I've not been adding to my diary as often as I would like either GR though I do keep up with yours and Wendys.
    It sounds to me like you're someone who really needs your sleep because it seems that when you've had a few late nights it affects you like this.
    Maybe set some dates with J. on your terms so the late nights won't be a problem?
    Just make sure you look after yourself.

    Thanks Diz, J is having a really hard time at the moment and he phones and he sounds down and then I find myself saying come on up and I'll do you something to eat. He's lost so much weight lately I'm really worried about him. We've agreed that we're not going to see each other tonight because we both had hard days in work today just because we were tired.

    Have decided to sign up to retail eyes and see if I can get some mystery shopping assignments, I don't know whether I'll have time to do them but I'm going to give them a go. Have also registered with Tesco for a home delivery shop this week and earned 500 piggy points. I much prefer Asdas but am purely after the points.

    I know what you mean about E-Bay. Its been really disappointing over the last few days. I've really got the money-making bug lately and hate it when I don't make a tidy sum each day.

    A friend lent me a book called 'In the Red' today it's about a woman whose a compulsive spender and she's dealing with her debts. I did think of lending it my sister when I've finished it but then thought maybe her sense of humour is not isn't up the the mark at the moment :)

    Am going to dry my hair now and snuggle under the quilt with my book to read. Catch you tomorrow and thanks for the concern Diz, I'll be OK xxx
  • Hope you had a good nights rest GR. I get really grotty if I dont get enough sleep. Im sure ebay will pick up again soon.

    Well done on the July totla Dizzy 3/4s of the way to your July total already.

    Thanks for your kind word guys. I had alovely sleep last night. I'm sure if I get another reasonably early night tonight I'll be back on form. Feeling much better today though.

    Got 11 items ending on e-bay today and I'm hoping at least something will sell. Made a list yesterday of some more things that I can list so that's going to me my task for the weekend (and the roning which is almost to the ceiling!!!).

    Catch you later x

    Friday at last. Got my Tesco shop being delivered tonight so no trecking round the supermarket for me this weekend. Have decided to have a real good listing day on e-bay on Saturday and see how many more items I can find to sell. Have been thinking about items all week and writing them down, Just need to take photos and get them listed over the weekend.

    Lets see if I can really clear some of this clutter.
