  • Morning

    I sat down and listed a couple of things for Ebay last night. Hope they sell.

    I used another site to do the templates and listing pages and then set them all to go live.

    Once i logged onto Ebay - to check they were ok.... it said 5p listings for today!!!!

    Gutted - if only i waited a day! Today is the day to do EBay!

    Have also brought in my lunch and avoided pret like anything this morning - i have a weakness for their coffee and croissants.

    I wouldn't be too gutted, I tend to avoid cheap listing days now because the site just gets too saturated and stuff ends up selling for less because there are so many others who have listed similar things on same day.

    I received my £4 from a survey yesterday.

    Then sold something on ebay yesterday and have another psychology experiment to do later so my total should go up a bit more today.

    Also got a survey from You Gov on Friday night and have reached the £50 threshold and so fingers crossed my cheque will arrive before too long. :T:T

    I'm continuing to click away and do as many surveys as I can so hopefully I'll be able to cash out some more before too long.

    Sorry to have missed your birthday yesterday Noggin. Many belated happy returns:j

    5p on pigsback today. Am waiting for some ebay items to finish have lots of watchers and no bids, listed some more today too as its 5p listing day. I had to remove a £200 suit yesterday because I had forgotten to put a reserve price on it and someone bid 99p:eek: It has been relisted today with a realistic reserve and buy it now price.

    Have a few more things to list.

    Forgot to add that I saved 66p the other day on some biscuits so must add that to my total.

    Not great over the weekend, was poorly!

    However today only spent 40p of my £5 Lunch budget so that's £4.60 saved. My ebay item is still only £6.50 but I have 11 watchers on it!
    Need to put a job lot of ribbons on the Ebay too.

    Other than that, nowt much...put travel expenses into the Court Service on Friday, not sure how much that will be...hopefully about £25.

    Doing more Slice the Pie and am on £3.48 so will do darnedest to get up to £5 today and then £1/day thereafter.
