    I ended January with no real motivation but one of my items sold this morning. A whole £3ish of profit after fees and postage but enough to nudge me into action again. I am doing an hour tonight of photos and listing items I've decided. I'm also going to drop the price on my remaining buy it nows.

    Edit: Listed 16 lots on ebay now. I've listed higher but will knock them down over the weeks. Even £2 a lot I'd be happy with as these may be tricky to sell. Hoping to list some jewellery tomorrow and up my chances of making some moolah.

Hoping that reaching each percent target will motivate me more. Have a regular payment of £50 but need to get selling the mountain of items I have to knock this debt.

    I've had a good day. Managed to get £12 off some underwear that I was already buying and needed in the 70% off sale at my local department store. I got £4 blue rewards. Spent £25 voucher on a new pair of trainers that I got from completing a survey. LP x
