    Hi Tootallulah. That is an impressive target and you sound very focussed. I love the idea of turning things round and trying to live off your eb@y earnings this month, so that you can use your regular earnings to overpay. Very motivating to get get things listed I think. I might try this but first need to psyche myself up...I loathe eb@ying.

    I am on my final countdown to early retirement, so need to get serious now and will watch what you get up to with interest.

    Thanks, I hate EBaying too but my next house move will be to a much smaller place so, as well as the money, I need to get rid of 'stuff'. I treat EBay as my 1 day a week job, 5 hours photoing and listing and two hours packing and posting so long as I make more than £20.00 per hour I am happy.

    Food spending £5.00 - I bought 2 boxes of fruit salad in M&S to take to my Mum who is in hospital.

    So thrilled that my apricot tree is covered in buds, it was in full flower on March 11th tlast year perhaps it will be about the same time this year despite the cold snap.

    Hmmmm - nipping into Waitrose for milk was not a good idea - I have spent £29.67 of my grocery budget and we are at the end of week 1.

    I avoid the supermarket as much as possible for this very reason.

    Oh dear my Ebaying has been terrible this week I have made £3.96! Ah well onwards and upwards. I have a few more sewing machines to sell I need to get them photographed and uploaded. March seems to be running away with me I haven't sown any seeds or even really planned my garden this year which is rare. My house is too full of stuff which seems to stop me doing anything. I need to have some time off and do a bit of full time Kon Mariing. I haven't made any extra payments yet this month but I am hoping to manage £250 next week.
