    I’ve listed 40 items on eBay.
    40 things!! How wasteful I have been.
    Most things are very low value and i would be surprised if half of the items sell to be honest.
    Oh well. Onwards and upwards!

    Wowee Pidge! Well done you 40 things and another go at baby sitting. Fantastic work. Love your plans too.

    I find with eBay ask for what you want. Do an auction. Then do an auction from 99p. Then give to charity. Otherwise it's there forever. Now is a great time to sell. So great timing. Black Friday week is definitely the way to go.

    All sounding really good. Keep it up!!!

    My eBay sale is going well!

    I have 48p in one of my current accounts and 52p in the other ahead of payday on Friday.

    No cash on me.

    Success for me would be having a minimum of £100 in my account before payday.

    Just paid (gulp) £270 off credit card.

    £267 left to pay on the 21st December then that debt will be paid.

    I am feeling pretty buzzy about this one.

    I will have really proved something to myself when this debt is cleared next month.

    It was £2400 at the beginning of this year.
