My life

A new money making scheme that has just come to me is to try and get more people to my Ebay site. The only thing you can do is put something up everyone wants. Hence the free porno photos that people put along side their pyramid schemes. They are all scams and people hate them But if you ever look at my Writers Wanted Paying Markets blogg, you will see that I make a genuine effort to try and offer people a service. So I wonder if I could get away with putting that up on Ebay? Simply pasting it... Sign in to see full entry.

AOL!!! Just received the upgrade version of AOL broadband: Platinum. The first thing I’ve found is that this computer I’m working on now, is not good enough to do it. It needs a whole new generation of a device called an ethernet. At first I panicked and thought we were back in the stone age. But because I have 2 computer (and old one and a new one) my eye was drawn to a little diagram on the back, which turned out to be the ethernet connection. I could get my head around the old USB ports, but... Sign in to see full entry.

Living in a house full of boxes, I now have to wait until tomorrow for the guy to turn up with the truck to buy all my old Ebay stock. At least he does want it. I’m giving him the books first and asking for payment after. Now before you scream: "Fool!" I must point out that we did this once before and the guy threw a fit. We ended up giving him most of the money back, as he was not happy with the quality. Of course it was just a scam to get free books, but unless you have a team of lawyers...

I wish I could shake off this cold. It just won’t leave me, and its starting to run me down emotionally. The sun is shinning like the first day of spring but I feel rotten. I’ve had the damn thing for four weeks now, and thank God I had the flu jab else I’d be in a hospital bed by now. This cartoon nonsense seems to be rolling on. The sad iron is that these are the same people who run down Christianity and the Royal family. Nothing is of any value to them. Political correctness is like a new... Sign in to see full entry.

Well I’m well on my way to clearing out my old stock of book. Ebay hasn’t worked and I’m selling up. 5,000 decent books are going for £500! It’s the only way. With my mum moving back into the house, I’ve got to make some sacrifices and make some space. Since the death of my friend George, I’ve had to face up to the fact that I would lose my home if I didn’t do something. So this seems the only way. Things are not as bad as they were a few weeks ago, when the world fell in, but we are getting... Sign in to see full entry.

Trying to get back in the saddle. Started posting the writing jobs again, to boost myself up on Blogit. The most important thing is to get some real work from freelancing. A real income here, would could in more than useful. I have a few tricks up my sleeve, so lets see if it works. The guy is coming to take away all my surplus books from the house. Leaving me to sell only what I want. We had a shed load of stuff, which I have to empty. But I still intend selling on ebay, as it’s my only source... Sign in to see full entry.

Long lost Friend Sadly our old cat died two days ago. Funny, losing two friends in as many weeks. Bigger problems on the jobs front, as things look black. There are plenty of jobs, but they are just as dead end as the one I tried to escape 5 years ago. Not sure if I want to go back to that level of depression? I do have a plan to try and go for the better jobs, by finding out what qualification they require and working backwards. But we’ll see. Steve Sign in to see full entry.

Ebay is going better than I hoped, although I suspect the same scene we had last time. Only on this occasion, they can at least see what they are buying. They can get an instant shop, with a retain value in the thousands. Only I dare not tell them that the bubble has burst and they will never get rich on ebay, even if they are selling unicorn horns. I’m getting over the funeral, and thinking about what the hell I’ll do now. Exel is my saviour, as I have enough keyboard skills to get some sort of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Funeral was today. Good turn out, although we often talked about not wanting a lot of fuss at the event. That was as far as the discussion got mind. I’m some way to sorting out the finance side of things, but we have yet to face that hurdle. But I think things will turn out Ok. A bigger problem is what to do now? Ebay is coming along. What few books I have on my site will pay for themselves, but the big issue, is the sell off. 2,000 books at a time is a lot to get rid of. But I might be able... Sign in to see full entry.

I don’t want to be one of these people who folds as soon as the going gets tough. Sadly I am now suffering with a stinking cold which is sapping my strength, so I don’t even feel like sitting at the PC. I can’t help thinking that this virus is the one which killed my friend George in hospital? He was suffering from a bad cold, before going in. The GP gave him anti-biotics which seemed to do nothing. Being 74 he has no resistance to it, sure. But did the virus bring on his illness so much so,... Sign in to see full entry.
