- b365, preloved and live virtual trading - all 3 of these are sitting in front of a computer, prattling on to myself. Not strenuous. So, next,

Don't underestimate how strenuous using your brain can be. About 1/5 of the energy you use per day is used by the brain.

Good list - as long as you don't try to do all of it in a day. But spread over a week seems reasonable. Don't pretend to have a clue what you are talking about with the live trading - but sounds like a profitable activity. Go for it Karma - and I particularly like the fact that task number 1 is about looking after YOU! Don't forget that is the most important thing.

I'm with mizmir on this one! Of course this is one reason I am losing weight so fast :rotfl:

Yep, I think its reasonable over a week. The brain thing - its true, it makes you hungry doing lots of thinking. Tho I'm sitting around, I eat like a horse - it must be all the thinking! Need the cardio workout when I get more well, tho, thats really important. Breakfast was good - oats, soy milk, cornflakes, manuka honey and raisins. And a cup of coffee. Time for a cup of tea now.

Hmmm.... possibly I've just found out why ebay is the auction site of choice, despite the fact that it charges. Searched "science fiction" at ebay and preloved, and the score was:

Preloved 31 - Ebay 3079.

Oops. It was a bit better for magazines, and I don't suppose it will hurt to put them on there, but I'm not hopeful!

Mmmm - tricky one. Ebay does have the critical mass of buyers - but other places will never get off the ground without people trying them which lets ebay have the monopoly and treat us so badly! If Preloved is free to list why not put them on there and on ebay? You never know.

I'm with mizmir on this one - list them on both and set different finishing dates (preloved before Ebay), if they sell for a decent price on preloved then just cancel the Ebay one! All you will be down is the listing price (and if you earn enough otherwise then ......):rolleyes:

What about ebid? A friend of mine who sells a lot on Ebay has just switched to Ebid

Thanks guys - I think I will do that, the simultaneous listing - makes sense to maximise the effort. I won't be doing anything today - too much Work work, IFSWIM. Yesterday, I managed to:
- do nearly all of the washing up.
- took all my vitamins etc, and ate healthily to boot.
- sorted magazines - Cult Times, Starburst, Starlog and Xpose - into the groups to sell them in. Stashed them away for when I want to iron a sheet and take the pix and downsize them properly.
- the six foot wide bookcase in my room is slowly getting back in order after the recent decluttering of *other* bookcases messed it up, and this is A Good Thing.
- got my new DVD collection in order (not in dvd cases - taped from tv, stored in tiny little pouches - I realise its for when I'm on the move, living in a foreign country with no own language tv to slump in front of!).
- ahem. I worked - at my real job, just one hour. Nice money tho, and necessary.
- kept my bedroom tidy! And finally washed my hair.
- cleaned the hall, took the rubbish out - these were essential.

D*mm, I really miss being able to do lots of stuff.

Sounds as though you did a lot to me! :eek: Well done you - I hope this week ahead is equally successful
