    I've one watcher too GR, though I had 3 watchers on 3 items last time and only one sold. Well we can only try. Hope you get some good results with yours. It's funny GR but I've had no personal post for a few days now, not even junk mail! In fact everyone elses post is very sparse too. Added up my 10s 2s and pennis and I've got £7 to bank. Just transferred £5 from paypal too and have got £9 odd coming from amazon. I suppose that's not too bad. Wish I was motivated like you and have more coming in.

    I'm very motivated but nothing is coming through for me. Have got about £140 in PayPal at the moment but I want to try and keep it there until the end of the month. Whether I'll be able to do it though is another thing. I owe my mum £180 and she's not in a rush to have it back so I'm trying to get enough to pay her back, that way I won't miss it out of my pay.

    Now I'm debt free I don't want to use credit cards any longer so I use my mum instead!!!!!

    Have got nothing in the Amazon account at the moment but I have listed a few items again tonight. Hopefully get lucky with them.

    I needed to post off the laptop this morning and I didn't want to draw any money out of the cashpoint so I took £20 of pennies (bagged up) to the post office, changed it into cash and used it to pay for the parcel. I've got to the stage that I'm absolutely mean with my money!

    Good morning all.

    Have got 2 items ending on e-bay tonight and each of them has a watcher. Have also got 2 more watcher on 2 other items that are ending over next few days. I've decided to relist everything that hasn't sold and put them on for ridiculous prices. I just need to get rid of them. Am going to do that before I go to work.

    One of my items has got a £20 bid on it with 45 minutes to go. I get so excited when something sells. Got another item ending in an hour but have only got a watch on that. Hopefully they'll buy!

    Oh GR, hope you get some more bids on it, but £20 is okay isn't it?
    ??Has it ended already now?? How much did it go for. Crikey I feel really excited for you. At least there's one of us getting something out of ebay :D
    Catch you later and hope work was okay today.

    Hi Diz, the chair sold for £21. Saying that it states that it's pick up only and the buyer lives in Northampton which is miles away fom South Wales. I've e-mailed and and asked if he realises its pick up only before I take the payment. The desk didn't sell so I've listed it again for a bit cheaper. Hopefully somebody will want it.

    I've also listed a pile of Ayrton Senna memorabilia (I used to be such a fan) so I'm hoping that will bring me an extra bit of money.

    Hi GR Well done. They may have a reason to be in your area when they pick it up, or maybe have relatives nearby. There's no figuring some things out on ebay Lol
    You're doing fab aren't you at the moment. And there's the lottery tonight...:D
