    Evening all, sounds like a lot of people have been doing some good money making recently. I have done a few more mystery shops today so that increases my total by another £24 after petrol/transport cost. Have sold a few items on ebay tonight, so that should make me at least £10 profit, also nice to finally get rid of some bits and pieces. Not including the ebay sales until all the money has come through and all items have been posted out.

    Arrgh! with e-cheque. Its so frustrating. I contcted paypal recently because twice it would only let me use echeque and asked what the problem was (funds in current account where debit card links to) and they said no problems with you, we randomlychoose people to pay by echeque to protect sellers and prevent fraud.

    I wanted my item though and had to wait for ages! Its a crap system!

    It's a pain in the derriere! They don't even tell you till you've sent payment that it's going through as an echeque (happend to my boyfriend before on an item he needed asap!)

    For the first time ever ebay have sent me an email saying "You've received an e-cheque payment . . . . .blah blah blah"

    There's a new payment scale coming into force on the 24th September that aren't small user friendly so guys if you want to make the most of ebay I'd get lising now!

    I've also heard a rumour that they're going to move to an electronic only checkout system soon, so goodbye cheques and postal orders :rolleyes:

    Just a warning!

    On the moneymaking front nowt today for me, but will have overtime to add tomorrow once I get paid :)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm sorry I've not been on here very much the last few weeks.
    I went to the Doctors Tuesday because I thought I could feel a lump in my right breast. The Dr confirmed there was something there and has refferred me to the specialist clinic at the hospital. :(

    I am absolutely terrified and haven't been able to function properly since Tuesday. 've gone about my normal life going to work and sorting te kids out, but I just feel utterly depressed.
    The Dr said I'm at low risk because of my age, but it's just taken over my life completely.

    I'm so terrified. :(

    Noggin,
    Sorry to hear your news - it really is a mind-numbing moment when you're told. I had testicular cancer twice, once in 1992 (aged 21) and again in 2005. The second time I had to have chemotherapy.
    You need to go back to your doctor and ask all the questions you need to ask in order to allay your fears. Read up about it on the internet to make sure you're well informed. The fear you have comes from the not knowing. Ironically, once you do know, either way, it is a relief and a weight off your mind, even if it is bad news. Somehow, it's a worry you can cross off the list and then get on with the next stage of actually fighting it, if that's what needs to happen. I hope it won't come to that so please try not to worry. A lot of lumps are just lumps and not anything more sinister at all. Quite often you worry about an eventuality, then worry about stuff following on from that and then again, following on from those worries and before long you are at your wits end, worrying about something that has a one in a million chance of coming about.

    I realize you may not want to speak to a guy about it, given the nature of the issue, but I have been there, so if you want to PM me for a chat, please feel free. Sometimes, just chatting helps to stop the worries from getting out of control. Failing that, try to talk to somebody about it - a problem shared really is a problem halved and all that!

    Big super-duper Stumpet cyber hugs coming your way.

    £10.50 Tesco voucher arrived today. Updating sig NOW!

    Apparently, in the last 12 months, I've earned £48 in Clubcard vouchers. Not bad considering there's only me, eh?
