morning all waiting for ebay payments now i am not very happy about the way the sale went rubbish prices really. last time they did a 5p listing day they also send out £5 off vouchers to all e bayer! they haven't this time. anyway plan for today is take trousers back to new look for £15 back. sold 2 dog ball this morning for £1.00 each do made a bit there! might look into car insurance and sort that out today i think the post office is my best bet! and i am going to pay monthly so if i get a new car in the next 6 months i can change insurance and get another lot of cashback!!! he he

Hi there. I had a long lazy lay in this morning-which is just as well as I woke up at 4.40am for about an hour (stressing over money etc)
We are carbooting tomorrow too-just hope the field isn't like a bog!!!!
We desperately need the cash.
Sorry your ebaying wasn't as fruitful as you had hoped Jen. I still only have 1 bid on 1 item at the moment... fingers crossed things improve.
I have to say though, that I found people were buying from ebay quite alot until the announcement on the news that people aren't spending-then suddenly panic stricken by the news people stop spending . It's like a self fulfilling prophecy. imo that's where the scaremongering comes in, people buy no problem then the news announcement and it all stops or prices are much lower. and I'd hazard a guess that if the announcement hadn't been made on the news the other day people would still have been buying more than they are at the moment.
oops-that's a bit deep for a saturday morning... right off to make a cuppa!!!

jenjade

i think you are right cath!
my mate works in lidi and she said they have doubled there takings since the rumor spread that everyone was shopping in lidi aldi etc to save money on the shopping!!

i really want to do a car boot but i am so worried the field will be like a bog?!
