    I list on Sunday evening around 7pm for 7 days and then again tuesday evening for 5 Days I even list on Thursday on a 3 day listing.

    Put the soup on so you know dinners sorted, then apply for the credit card ;) That will cause a lot of stress if you leave till the very last minute x

    Do you need cake and jam today? Can you not do them tomorrow?

    Dont get too disheartened, you are still better off than you would have been if you had spent 30 quid on food. Fingers crossed you can get some shoes in the sale:)don't take on too much too quickly & give yourself a break- you're doing great xx

    Thanks Lauren X I'm touched at how supportive and lovely everyone is on here. I have seen some trainers on eBay And will see how much they go for, using the last of the money in my account. Soup is done and I've eaten some, it's not too bad, children like it though yaaaay!

    See all comes together in the end. I think my kids are probably too big for outgrown shoes to fit your little one.

    Aim for 5 items on eBay. Then 5 next weekend. Any more is a bonus.

    ahhhhh applied for credit card and approved but they wouldn't lend me the full amount, am £720 short :eek: !!! so need to find that?! Can't really think straight, didn't expect that to happen. I guess I could pay the minimum on the new credit card and pay the rest i was going to overpay off the £720 that is left. Hate having money borrowed all over the place, Oh why isn't anything simple!!! my brain hurts from thinking too much lol
