    Hi Charlize, welcome to the boards. if you need any help just shout we're here to help.

    Now, i found $5 in a drawer today, would it be very random of me to go to the bank to exchange it just for the sake of about £2? or would they look at me like a weirdo??

    Hello everyone!

    I've had a rather mad few days, had to finish off making my dress on Thursday for my boyfriends friends wedding, then the wedding itself on Friday, recovering and the holiday cover work yesterday and now I have a bazmillion things to catch up on :eek:

    Next week's going to be a busy time for me self-employed wise so I think my money-making might end up going a bit wonky :o though I'm going to try not let it, need to get listing on ebay and get that blooming scrap car sold!

    Anyways, sold a few small things on ebay, 3 sales on amazon and a sale on greenmetropolis added a wee bit to my total over the last few days. Also randomly got a cheque from A&L, I had an account with them when I was still in school and thought it was closed when they sent me a cheque before but then I got this one, will have to do some investigating see if there's any dosh still sitting in it!

    I was kinda thinking along the same lines the other day, think I've got around $15 from Americans paying in cash instead of paypal :rolleyes: doesn't the bank charge for exchanging though? And is the Post Office free? Or am I just totally wrong :rotfl:

    Better get some work done!

    Hi all,

    I am new to this site, and have been lurking for the past few weeks. The amount of information has overwhelmed me. Wanted to post for a while now, but did not know where to start, so I thought this thread is a good place.
    I would like to join this challenge for the month of August if possible. Not sure how to go about it though :) any advice welcome.

    Keep up the good work :T

    zenzen, welcome to the challenge! The best advice is to read through the posts and get ideas from what people have written - also visit the "up your income" board on MSE for ideas on ways of raising extra cash.

    You could go on the freebies board for free stuff to use for pressies, and the competitions board to try and win prizes to sell on ebay etc!

    Car boots, mystery shopping, free b!ngo, matched betting, overtime, ebay, blah blah blah!!!!! The list is endless really and only you can determine how much or how little you want to get involved!

    It really is a great way of earning some very useful extra cash.....so good luck!

    I was putting a load of books onto Amazon when I came across my copy of the Money Diet, and figured I should probably re-read it before I decided to get rid of it. So here I am, and since I started looking at the forum this afternoon I have...
    • Signed up to a mystery shopping company (or applied to anyway)
    • checked to see how much my old handsets are worth (nearly £70 for the 3 I've found so far)
    • and signed up to slicethepie (16 tracks reviewed so far)
    So I suppose I should probably sign up for this challenge too, and start getting the stuff on Ebay that I've got lying around here.

    I'm hoping to spend an hour or so before and after work on this sort of thing - in people's experience is that enough time? I'm in the process of closing one business (that lost a lot of money :( ) and starting up another one (that can bring in £350 a day quite quickly with minimal overheads) so I don't want to be spending too much time on this sort of thing, but a little extra from other sources would help to start clearing the debts that the old business has left me with.
