Wow, that's fab Pigpen! :T

Do you find Turbo Lister the quickest way to list lots of items? It always seems to take me ages either way any tips?

Some use auctiva.. I can't use it so I use turbolister.

I think listing a few things at a time.. maybe 5 a day makes it less stressful when they end due to how many you have to post. I have been known to list 120 items on a free/5p listing day.. that nearly killed me when over 80 sold lol.

I do a very descriptive title.. try to get as much in there as possible so it hits lots of searches. I always attach a picture.. and gallery pic.. costs a few pence but does make a big difference. I put minimum info in the description.. what it is, what make age size and how 'worn' it is.

I ONLY sell stuff I would be happy to receive.

O prefer to list thursdays over 10 days to hit 2 weekends and finish Sunday evening about 8ish is best I've found.

Morning ladies!

Well, we went to see the IL's this weekend down the coast so, I did not get anything done. My small spare room is still covered in clean clothes that need to be put away! I have asked OH to get the summer clothes from the loft tonight and hopefully, we can make the change from winter to summer tonight and I will have my spare room back. Master bedroom also needs to be sorted so, will have to ensure all flying is done this week. *expecting a big kick from pigpen*

Have a good day everyone! I'm off to sort out some work issues that have caused havoc.

Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhh

Day is going really badly.

7:20 open family room door - floor covered in feathers again
7:22 go to get hoover and realise kitchen it cool
7:23 touch AGA - it has gone off
7:30 AGA lit again
7:40 AGA out again

Decide to leave it until kids go to school.

8:00 check school web and DS1 should have a cricket match (he is captain and has not got a team together)
8:20 DS3 screaming in the bathroom at me that DS1 has broken the window - he was knocking to come in as he had forgotten his PE kit and DS3 would not open the door -DS1 then does a runner. I am in the shower!!!!!! Throw clothes on wet body and jump in car and catch up with him a few streets away. He is now sorted/calmed down and deposited at school. DS3 really upset by all this - was scratching and wheezing before from the pollen so he has now had piriton and is having the day off.

AGA still not working so now need to find engineer number only good thing is as it is cold I can clean it throughly - back to the kitchen then for me.

suzieq

Thanks Pigpen, I do most of those already, I'll see if I can get Turbo Lister to work for me! Doing a few items a day is a good idea, I could do them all during the week, then Turbo List on a Thurs night.... *scratches chin*

REDMADCURLS

Folks

No idea if you all already know this, sorry if you do.

Oven Pride is the BESTEST oven cleaner ever - the oven comes up like new, no matter how dirty it is and trust me, ours was very dirty!
Most tesco stores sell it, it is expensive £5ish and it is far from environmentally friendly I would think but damn it works brilliantly - zero scrubbing required, plus it comes with a bag to put racks in so they come out sparkling too
Again apologies if I am teaching my granny to suck eggs.

So far I have:
Got up and dressed
Put wash on
Let the overcast day into my home
Drank Coffee, smoked and read posts!!

Need to:
Wrap and post 11 ebay items - ggggggggrrrrrrrr I try to wrap as they are bid on but not this week
List more on ebay
Vacuum floors from yesterdays gardening - of course we didnt take our shoes off
plus start the Flylady Kitchen Routine!

All this and I still feel pants!


PS - original wooden floors - any ideas how to stop the streaks (really wondering why I care - as long as they are clean)

Mornin.

Feel very rough this morning from tiredness. Not slept properly and was up at 6:15am, seems to be the time DD has set her bodyclock to to wake up and face the day .

Just had to ring council this morning to cancel my 25% single person discount on council tax as OH now officially lives here as of saturday. Had to say it was of then even though he hasnt sold his place yet and has been "commuting" between the two houses because otherwise DDs birth certificate would have shown us living apart and we'd prefer it not to. So yeah now its official were a little family unit finally Just got to arrange to sell his [STRIKE]s**thole[/STRIKE] house now. :rolleyes:
