El - Oh yeah... Season Seven, otherwise known as Season Heaven... savedanieljackson.com has a lot (of very good tv) to answer for!

Dragon - I've just started to take photos of the mags, but I have to work now... there's still ages to go, finish photos, download to comp, resize, write the descriptions, sort how much the postage should be, and THEN list - I forgot how much work is involved, I was mad to join the challenge this week! And I'm away at the end of next week.... at least it will be done for when I come back from holiday....

Eeep best of luck then Karma!

Realising this, I might do loads and loads of preparation, and then storm the freebie sites with hundreds of entries, then wait for a cheapoday on ebay...

TODAY is a cheapo day on ebay Karma - half price listing!

Today... oh bleepity. Eepity weepity. And !rats! Can't do it today - too much Work work, and I'm tired now. I might well continue the photos tho. Never mind... since today is a cheapo day, there'll be another one along soon after I come back from holiday. Only so much I can do.

Another long delay between postings. Ah well... managed to do Work work yesterday, and haven't fallen down catatonic or anything, and I also managed to take photos of all of the rest of the SF mags and even download them to the computer. So today:
- resize magazine images ready for uploading.
- write mag descriptions.
- see if my closed Amazon listings still exist, and if they do open them up again.
- do a matched bet? I really need to finish this set of qualifiers, only need one more and I've got the next freebie of £50.
- cut back some overgrowth in the front garden. Some of the plants I've sweated blood over are getting lost in the general enthusiasm of all growing things, they need a bit of TLC. That will give me some gentle outdoor exercise too. And I've got so much garden junk to get rid of, and my binmen come on Tuesday,so I have to get on with it.
- very unusually for me, I also have a piece of Work work today, cos I'm catching up after being ill.
- need to do a check on how much I've got where, after builder, illness and mb.ing.

And then I think I'll have a cup of coffee!

Sounds like you'll need one!! Great list Karma but don't try to do too much. (Says she who is the master of over planning!)

Re. the listings. The photos I find are the main hassle - once I have those listing is sooooo much easier. So you're more than half way there with that.

I'm just off to do the Work work, and I think the cup of coffee will then come before anything else! :rotfl:

I think you're right about the level of work, mizmir - and I'm really looking forward to getting shut of these magazines, going through them what really stands out is how much I don't care about them! Which is good...

Wow Karma!! With that amount planned I think you will need regular infusions of coffee!

[strike]- do a matched bet? I really need to finish this set of qualifiers, only need one more and I've got the next freebie of £50.[/strike] done. And I checked at pa rty bets for a little reload, and its disappeared, so I've sent them an email - they're crediting and debiting my account like mad things, don't know *what's* going on.

[strike]- need to do a check on how much I've got where, after builder, illness and mb.ing. [/strike] done. But my bank debited £166 from the money I paid in yesterday, and I have no idea why, so thats a phone call on Monday :mad:

And there quite a few other financial queries/phone calls I need to make on Monday:
- open the dratted moneybookers account by phoning my dratted French bank.
- write a snotty letter to the managing agents of my apartment asking them why they're sending me snotty emails about a supplementary bill they've never told me about, when I paid the last bill only a month ago.
- phone my credit card, the one I pay off every month. I forgot, very unusually for me, and they've charged me an arrears charge. They may not make much profit from me, cos I pay it off, but I'm not having this, I'm already losing out cos its a charity card, profits to RSPB, rather than me getting the cashback. If they charge this, as well as the legitimate (but expensive) interest charge, then I'm off, I'm changing to Martin's best recommendation.
