thanks irishgal, know what you mean, love watching the auctions when they start its just the photo/ description tedium ! Still shouldn't complain coz hopefully will make some cash outta it. Thanks for dropping in and keeping us on the ball !

moneymabel

well ive got watchers on some of my ebay stuff so thats good. Also this morning had an order from a wedding shop that sells my jewellery for me ( I have my own recently started business making wedding jewellery) so thats another £65 that I should have by the end of the week. Hopefully bride will want a matching bracelet when she tries on her pendant/ earrings with her dress! Sales are very erratic at the mo, can have 2 in a week and then nothing for 2 months. Still its great when it happens!

Hi moneymabel,

I'm up for the challenge :j:j

Bring on being debt free by the end of 08 :beer:

Good luck with the jewellery sales, it must be so nice to be able to make your own jewellery.

Also, good luck with your ebay sales, I really must raid my cupboards and list all the rubbish i have hiding away.

moneymabel

yay welcome hayley!! Now there are 3 of us on this mad journey LOL

Making the jewellery is fun, wish I had the sales to do it full time, perhaps one day.
Hope u find the inclination to list your ebay stuff- go on I dare you!!

It will take me forever to sort out my cupboards, however I'm getting ready to move in with my OH in the next month or so, so I will be having a proper sort out then and listing all on ebay!

Looking at our sig, you've already done so well clearing nearly 6k since April last year. Well done!!

hi moneymabel,

Do you sell your jewellery on ebay? hope the sales go well. Irishgal

hi hayley,
Ooh you are going to have so much stuff to ebay! And if u run out u can start on oh's LOL . Congratulations on the upcoming co habitation. Does your oh know all about your dfw status ? Sorry just being nosy . Mine knows about my debt and I am v lucky as he pays for household stuff, I pay personal bills and for broadband/ phone so feel like I am contributing a little bit. There is no way I would have been able to pay off so much without him, as soon as debt free will be upping the amount I give him to make up for it. still- its his fault I can't work full time as I am looking after the puppy coz he brought her home !

hi irishgal,
I have tried ebay but no success, I think main prob is because its bridal people like to try it on with their dress before they buy which is why it works well with the wedding shops , can also do alterations that way. Might try ebay again with a few old bits when I do a new range perhaps. Was going to try some everyday jewellery but there are so many people doing it out there.
Anyway- how are you? Did I read on another thread that u had a fifty quid/euro gift from a relative? That is so sweet of them!
