JesaRose

Welcome Borneogirl - a good place to start would be to to read a few threads on some of the things mentioned that we have been using the make money.

Search the forums for Quidco

Have a look on Play.com, Amazon and Green Metropolis for selling books, DVDs, CDs etc

Ebay can be a big help sometimes so I would recommend using that if you can bring yourself to

Find my earlier post about free b!ngo in this thread too

The others will have more ideas for you to get started:D

I posted a load of old textbooks on Amazon last night-two have sold already. I guess tis the season for students to be looking for cheap books for courses.

Got home from doing lunchtime overtime to a cheque for £25 from freefivers!

Completely forgot that I was due that so I'm well chuffed!

My £50 paypal payment has cleared, which has definitely put me over my total. :j I've really surprised myself this month.

Mizmir - could you please put me down again for £10 for next month (if you're in charge ). You were right, No. 13 was lucky! Perhaps I should always be that.

I think this is my lot for August, can't see anymore coming in the next 5 days. Well done to everyone who made their target, and for those who didn't, what you did make is more than you had at the beginning of the month!! :T

I got paid for my 1st Self Employed Mystery Shop on Friday, only just checked the bank account my MS money goes into. I've worked out expenses, tax etc and I made £4.49.

Haven't done any jobs in August but have quite a few scheduled for September so that'll pay off later in the year.

Hopefully selling a few bits tomorrow for a few more pounds - it's been a slow month :rolleyes:

Forgive me for going totally off topic but all the best MSE'ers are on this thread and I am hoping for some advice. I have won another comp!!! That is the third this month. However, this time it is tickets to the Hydro connect festival. It looks like a good concert with a great line up but being in Scotland I cannot go. I have looked on eBay and the ones selling on there are doing well. I would therefore like to try and sell my tickets. However, this is where the problem lies - below is the email I have had confirming my win and you can see the problem...

Doesn't look like there is any way around that one HoleyPockets - they obviously planned for the case that someone might want to sell them on.

Couple of small ebay sales, money from two MS companies and using some coupons has pushed me over my target - in fact I might even make £10 per day by the end of the month!!!
