Benbens moneymaking adventure

benbenandme

Okay kitchen is cleaned except for the floor, I did get sidetracked this hour looking online for furniture for ds room; part of the reason his room is so untidy is he doesnt have adequte storage for everything, so theres always piles of stuff everywhere or his toys spill out into the lounge Anyway, I've found several bits I like but need to think about it all a bit more before I tak the plunge

I've also stopped for lunch. Ebay is still going, only one more bid so far and that was on an old pair of ds shoes, ebay is sooo random, I have listed these shoes 3 times before at 99p and they've never sold, I relisted them and this time they have 9 watchers and are currently just over £6 :eek:

Todays items have finished on £21.20, the 2 cardigans finish tomorrow and currently have bids of just over £21 too Can't wait to get car booting again in the morning to look for some more goodies

Congratulations on the ebay sales:beer:
I'm just sorting a few more bits to list - think the time is right to get bikinis on there:p

WelshSaver

Excellent news on the Ebay front. You have inspired me to start listing my clutter/goodies, I listed 10 items this week. 2 have sold already. Definitely time to start decluttering.

Good luck Milly and Welshsaver with those ebay bits, it is sooo dull listing stuff but once its on there it so addictive to keep checking it

I've got the tax credit form finished, I've been trying to find the information about my mobile cashback but I dont know what I've done with it I'll have a good luck after the tennis has finished. I also must try and start sorting out the car insurance tonight too I think :rolleyes:

benbenandme

I've checked out the car insurance stuff and last years cost me £304. This year I think I will be go with Hastings Direct, the quote is £214 and I can also get £53 cashback :beer: Happy days

I still have tonnes to get done tonight if I want to go car booting tomorrow, but I cant get off the sofa till Andy Murrays finished

Have you tried Tesco car insurance - they were by far the cheapest for me and I got a £50 voucher from them, whether they're still offereing that I dont know, but even without that they were the cheapest!

I went through money supermarket and tesco were about half way down the list, I will double check again though before I buy the policy
