Thanks, Utahbill. Any time you want to start, let me know. I’ve got a ton of really cool tips and hacks for budget beginnings.
Thanks for all the well wishes, guys! Spreadsheet updated, Libby wins again, most convincingly!
Libby, congratulations to your daughter for her graduation.
LittleBlueHouse, glad you got your home sorted out. It has been quite the year for you, hasn’t it? Hope that’s the last of it.
It seems a lot of you have had a rough week. Really sorry to read that. Sending you best wishes for a better week this week.
Still zero for me. Last week I got to the hospital and checked in, I said I was in for my MRE. The lady said “you mean MRI.” I told her no, Magnetic Resonance Enterography – MRE. She looked at me squiff, then checked her board and said “Oh, my goodness! I’ve never heard of that!” Great start! They make you drink a truck load of the foulest concoction on the planet, wait for it to work its way through, and then do the MRI. The tech said I was lit up like a Christmas tree. Yay, Christmas in June. π I’m still waiting on results.
However, some of you who have been with me for a while know that I can’t sit still. Being laid up in bed was torture. So I hand sewed the flanged, two-tone binding on my king-size, 110″ square quilt. Accompanied by my faithful sidekick.
I’m still stuck in bed, though, and the binding is finished. So now I’m hand piecing a new quilt, because… why not? I finished my first block yesterday. It’s surprisingly fun.
06/14/2020 at 11:16 am in reply to: Is it Possible to Have Listing End When One Variation Sells? #78402You could list it with variations as outlined and merely end it manually when something sells. When you get the cha-ching, go end the listing. It’s simple enough to do to make it worth the extra step.
Thanks for the code. I also ordered the mail jackets. And some thank you postcards, as I don’t do packing slips any more.
Spreadsheet updated. Libby decided she gave y’all enough leeway and galloped in for another win. LOL
Zero for me. I’m still lying around like a slug and groaning miserably. Of course, all groaning is utterly pointless, as this household believes if you’re looking for sympathy, you’ll find it in the dictionary between shit and syphilis. π
I’m on my 3rd surgeon now and have two more procedures scheduled, so fingers crossed they find out what’s going on and how to fix it.
Wishing you all a great week!
He is the best husband in the world!
If you look at the photo of the filing cabinets, you will see there is a shelf mounted above it. All 8ft of wall space is fully utilized with the top of the cabinet being used for items too large for the drawers and homogenous items on the shelf.
This cabin was designed specifically for my business and incorporated “too big” space on purpose. Not too much space, as I don’t buy big items any more – too much of a hassle to ship. Not well reflected, but on the very right of the cabinets is shelving for the storage of various sizes of poly mailers.
Hey folks! Spreadsheet updated and Vintage Lacy grabs the win!
@Sharyn Points for May Challenge added.Ok, folks, June Challenge time! Grab a Death Pile box – any box, any size. This month’s Challenge is doing a box! Post a photo of your selected box here, just for added fun. List all items in that box. For you listing demons, you may list as many boxes as you like, but you will only get one entry. The reason for this is to give even the slowpokes a chance at winning a challenge. Yup, all you listers in MY camp, we get a shot! This month’s winner will be by lucky draw, and the only thing you have to do to get an entry is list all the contents from one box in your Death Piles! C’mon, easy peasy!
Advise when you’ve emptied a box, and I will immediately add a 1 to the Challenge under your name. At the end of the month, lucky draw selects the winner. Hey, all y’all who’ve sat back in the months prior… it’s the middle of the year! One box. One piddly little box. Let’s do this!
Sorry, to add to the above: I buy the file cabinets for an average price of $25 used, searching Facebook and Craigslist, and they’re normally in excellent condition at that price.
I neither line nor add sides to the insides of the drawers. I’ve been working with this system for about a year and a half now and will be moving over almost entirely to the file cabinets for storage. I love it.
Bit of an out of left field here with an alternate idea. My husband built shelves for me for my totes
However, I’m gradually moving over to file cabinets. I find them so much easier to work with, they don’t “waste” space around the sides of the totes and I don’t have to lift the totes down to get into them. I use magnetic white board labels to write the numbers on the front of each drawer.
Hey folks, thanks for all the good wishes. No, unfortunately, things have gotten worse. I’ve had a battery of more tests and I’ve been referred to a new specialist. I’ve turned off my store for the time being as I can’t even walk due to the pain. Yup, zero listings this week. I’m such a slacker! π
Please do keep posting numbers. I’ll catch up the spreadsheet as soon as I can. I’ll try to check in every week.
My totals for the May Challenge is 3 sold out of the 10 items.
Don’t know if I’ll manage the June Challenge. But I hope you all get to so a box! Remember, any boxes you did before today do not count. It has to be a box you empty in June.
Hey, just had a fun idea! Post a photo of the box you’re going to empty! Mine is going to be the size of a matchbox if I can get back on my feet! LOL.
Looking forward to seeing what you guys post. Vicarious eBay seller here! Ha!
Before I knew better, I washed a few hats in the washing machine. I wouldn’t suggest it if your caps have any value or if you mind losing a few.
A dishwasher works well, if you have one.
I ended up doing mine by hand and drying them on dollar store rubber balls. Then I sprayed them with starch before removing them from the balls and photographing.
Sorry for the late posting folks. Spreadsheet updated: Vintage Lacy wins this week!
Thing is, last Thursday night I went into ER, and by 3AM on Friday I was in hospital for an emergency appendectomy. I’m over 50 and a few pounds overweight and my bounce back has been less rubber ball and more lead balloon. Man, this is a major hit! I am struggling badly to cope with the pain and recovery. However, I felt much better, after another pain-wracked sleepless night, to find a sports forum (think young, strong athletic types) where they were wailing the same issues. I learned that 4 to 5 days of feeling like you’ve been kicked in the gut by an angry Clydesdale is utterly normal, (some folks said it took ten days to settle!) and that I’m not such a wimp after all. Most of the folks posting on this sports forum were on the good stuff (Vicodin/Percocet) and still feeling K.O.’d, while I’m working through it on Aleve and Tylenol. Allergic to opioids. Lucky me!
On Monday I got up to post my numbers and tried really hard to have a positive attitude, but it lasted less than 30 minutes and knocked me down for another day. Today I’m up again and feel weak and useless, doubled over like an old woman and panting with the pain. Honestly, this sucks mud and old gym socks!
I’ve got to contact eBay and send them my hospital records, so that they can put that against my defects for late shipping, and I’ve got orders to pack, but I doubt I’m going to have any listing numbers this week.
Wishing you all a fantastic, healthy week!
Hey folks, hope you’re all good.
Only 7 listings for me this week. It was hot at the beginning of the week, I was sure I was going to turn into a puddle of goo! Fortunately, the hubs installed the air conditioner in my cabin this weekend, so I just have to wait for the a/c guy to come and do the flaring and I’ll be one cool cat doing lots of listings.
Yay!
With a moment of silence for our Fallen Heroes… wishing you all a great week ahead!
I had the exact same email from eBay about 10 days ago. Only I received it AFTER I shipped the item.
How is eBay identifying these buyers as suspicious? What’s the trigger? It just seems off; it’s happening so often just lately. I’ve noticed several folks in another group saying they’ve had it too.
Has anyone tried this stuff? Looks fun
