    Hello folks.
    Haven't earned anything since I last posted on Sunday.Today I listed 12 books on Amazon and 7 items on ebay.
    I've done a lot of comps on line,someone has to win.Maybe I'm soft,but I don't do the comps unless I really want the prize,can use it as a gift or sell it on.
    With the weather being a bit iffy I've not been out so I've spent nowt which compensates for the lack of exitement :rolleyes:
    That's my moan over.Hope you all have a nice evening, Oldteabag

    Had a good day yesterday with Ebay sales, but nothing much today.
    However, I've swapped to a cheaper brand of ciggies (yes, I'm one of the few lepers around :o ) saving myself 90p a day! This is day 2, so have saved myself £1.80 so far. They are so disgusting, it might even be the spur for me to finally give up. I dread to think how much I spend a month on them :eek:

    Complained to House of Fraser last week as they mucked up a payment of mine....got 1000 points added to my card (equates to £10 voucher!!) plus I am hoping they have also reversed the late payment charge of £12 I had to pay too!!!:j

    Did my weekly shop and it came in at just over £30 out of my £50 budget....last week I only spent £34.25 out of my £50 budget so I have to add that in too.:T

    Other ways and means of amking money not yet to the level where I can get real cash yet.:o

    Hiya guys!

    Slow start for me this month - especially as I only count ms-ing when I get paid - so I know my total will go up quite a bit at the end of the month.

    Just made use of the cheap listing on ebay and posted 15 items tonight, so I will have to see what that gets me in a few days. I have got another 100 odd things to sell on ebay, but I just do it when I get the chance - I really lose the will taking pictures of the stuff!:rotfl:

    Congrats to those of you doing well with STP - I have done a few mini stints at it over the months, but after a couple of days my ears have had enough bleeding :rotfl:

    Hi everyone, I can't believe it! I'm over my £10 a day target already:D :T Largely thanks to quidco cashback and matched betting! think I might aim for the £20 a day instead. Managed to get 20 items listed on ebay yesterday, not managing to pick up many MS assignments this past week though:confused:
