Yes I know what you mean, my brothers been selling of some stuff on eBay, he went to the post office and had to come home and rewrap a load of parcels to make them fit as it was so expensive. Its cheeky that they've done it over night with little notice aswell. There were lots of people taking parcels back home to wrap that day apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If money wasn't an issue I would be pushing for employed farm work full-time if I could, but I can make more working for myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Chris thats the same as me need all the money we can get as we just got a house and it needs bits done to it aswell as that the money would of been ok if it was not in euro as the contactor is in Donegal he would be paying me in euro and I live in Northern Ireland which works with pounds so that what really kill it for me yes if it was in pounds it still would of been working out less money but not a to big of a loss and id be doing work that is close to my heart and id be happy at my work but it back to selling car for me for while yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 its a shame bob,same with me,where i work part time its 32 miles away,so 64 miles a day,and thats what kills it for me,as where i work now,any jobs that are over 6 miles away i get a van or a lift there,so i dont have hardly any transport costs,the boss would take me on at the farm,plus the wages are lower,but not by to much,but financially it doesnt stack up,but dont give up,something may turn up mate,and also i really enjoy the farm work when im called upon,perhaps if i did it full time it might loose its appeal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 bloody ebay, seems they areupdating the looks, ok fine, but also looks like they have updated the search parts, where as i used to be able to search for britains, then select the sub section "farm toys" same with universal hobbies, it now only allows the make, then its everything ,so with uh for instance, i used to be able to look at arround 900 odd farm toys ,now its 2300 odd of everything from cars to trucks etc ,same with britains, why cant they just leave it alone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that, as if it doesn't take long enough to pick through listings already! Why Ebay seem so desperate to ruin a once easy to use auction site is beyond me. Customers and sellers will go elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I am house hunting again! The occupier of the house I WANT to buy has had 3 months to find herself another property and is still stalling. I am now withdrawing my offer, cutting my losses and looking at two houses tomorrow. One I have linspected before and one so new on the market there are no details yet available although I do know the house and my son and daughter-in-law say they would love it.

Deere-est Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Fustrating to say the least, Sue. We're working towards getting the house market ready now. A couple of houses have come up locally which would have been ideal for us. Just not quite ready yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 not just frustrating, Tris. It has already cost me money to get this far. I am not amused to say the least as I expected to be moving shortly. Good thing is that with the two properties I am looking at tomorrow the sellers are either wanting to move within 6 weeks or are prepared to move into temporary accommodation if I want to move quickly.

Deere-est Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 The bain of the property market, eh?! I'm sure when we come to change I will find out just what it's like. The easiest house is the first, tgey say. Bit more promising with the next two sellers, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
