    Hi all,
    Have made total of £39. 58 through matched betting and another £82.14 through signing up with bookies through Quidco. :j
    Have signed up for my first MS, feeling a bit nervous about this but have been over to the increase your Income thread for a few tips so should be O.K.

    Lysa - how old is 'old'? As in like last year or 20 years ago? It's just I have a tonne of old law books from uni and I just didnt know if anyone would bother buying them?:confused:

    i graduated uni in 2006 so the books were between about 3-5 years old ish, my dad has ones from when he did OU that are like 15-20 years old and we didnt think they'd sell. the books have to have an isbn on them to be able to sell them too.

    No fear - I'm not as old as your Dad! :rotfl:Mine are 7 -10 years old I guess - I'll have a nose and see if anyone is selling similar stuff on Amazon - had thought about green metropolis but I would make nothing as they weigh an absolute tonne!

    £49.82 from overtime :) Also got my backpay today - finally :mad: was supposed to get it a month ago! (not counting that though as I was due it anyway, but the overtime I've only taken on thanks to this challenge :D)

    Also found £5 in 20p's in a jar in my room that I'd completely forgotten about so that's added to my total too.

    eBay item ending tonight and have 2 ready to list a wee bit later on

    No birthday money but pressies that mean I'm not going to go on a spending splurge for myself (lots of books and dvds) or for my se work (technically stuff that makes my work easier), woop! :D

  • Just listed a couple of OH's military books on ebay as I am sick of looking at them waiting to be done! Have unpacked nearly all the boxes now from the un-move, found a few more bits to car boot on Sunday, and my Dad has a box of goodies for me to sell as well. I'll be there at the crack of dawn armed with my flask and jam sarnies x
