    Hiya Diz, Your total is looking fab. Whatever you get by the end of the month will make a difference to the OD.

    I've got 2 items ending tonight and don't think either of them will sell. I did sell the weightwatchers books though, just as you predicted. Have listed a load of stuff as 'buy it now' to see if I get as much luck as you've been getting.

    I received a cheque from mutual points today but that was counted in last months total but it's still nice to be paying it in.

    Think I'm going to have a nice bath once eastenders finished and a little glass of wine.

    Well I've been a really busy girl. Have currently got 49 items listed on e-bay and quite a lot of them are buy it now so I'm hoping some of it will shifty.

    Am now having a very large glassof red wine in the hope that it'll de-stress me :)

    Good Luck with all those items. That is such a lot. I'm sure you'll do well.
    Hope you had a relaxed evening. The wine should have helped :D
    Catch you tomorrow GR.

    Good morning all. Friday again.....

    Have had a question about one of the items that I'm selling on e-bay, somebody asked me if all the leads were included and I said yes so hopefully they'll buy it off me. The wine did help to a certain extent last night and I had an early night which I think I needed. I still don't feel 100% but I think it's the side-effects of coming off the anti d's. Even though I cut the dose down correctly and weaned myself off them I still don't feel right. Hopefully it'll get better day by day. I am determinedto persevere as I really don't want to keep taking them, however small the dose.

    I even managed to do my on-line shopping last night, so that will be delivered on Saturday so I'll have no excuse to postpone the cleaning :(

    Hope you all hav a good day.

    The day wasn't quite as bad as I'd imagined it would be. My friend was really brave and positive about the news of her sister, but I did tell her to go home early because she just wasn't in the mood to talk to people at work.

    Had sold another item on e-bay and made a profit of £12 which I'm quite chuffed about. Got lots of items ending over the weekend and hope to make a nice little packet out of them.

    Am going to try and list at least another 20 books onto amazon over the weekend, that's going to be my challenge. Don't know whether I'll have an luck selling them but I won't know until I try.

    Hi GR...
    you're going to be busy this week-end aren't you?
    £12 is a good profit too.
    Glad your day was better than you hoped. Catch you later

    Good morning all. Managed to list 19 books on AMazon last night (although there were hundreds of them already on AMazon selling for 0.01p so I'm not holding out much hope of quick sales there.

    Am going to go to the skip today and I've got 2 large tems that are broken and I want to get rid of. Also going to pop to the post office to post a parcel.

    The weather is beautiful here and I'm hoping to blitz the house and maybe pop to Asda this afternoon to see what clothes they've got there. Still got my birthday money to spend so I'm hoping there'l be something nice there for me.

    Didn't get to bed until 3 am this morning as I had a visitor last night. I'm getting really worried about him because the weight is dropping off him and he's just so worried about the things that are going on in his life. I've told him that on Wednesday I'm going to take him out for lunch and I'm not taking no for an answer. I really hope he'll agree to it.

    Got lots of items ending on e-bay today, please let something sell :) Am also going to try and see what's under DD's bed that I can sell. Wish me luck.

    Just like my DDs bed. As well as lots of dust bunnies too.
    Sounds like you've got lots going on.
