Benbens moneymaking adventure

benbenandme

I have relisted 3 items on ebay and finally put the Wii on there too I'm really pleased with everything I've got done today, tomorrow I'll hopefullyclear a few more bits off the list,I'm starting to feel a bit more organised and ready to go back to school

benbenandme

I have sold 2 bin's overnight and they've paid already :beer: So thats another tenner to go in the summer challenge Today is a fairly lazy cheap day (hopefully), one mystery shop (changed the other one till tomorrow as have to take friend to Bournemouth then so it makes sense doing it while I'm there ), post ebay items and then jobs off the list

I don't think I'd ever describe you as lazy! Enjoy your day in Bournemouth.

B'mth is tomorrow KC, today is a lazy indoors kinda day Off to a good start so far, I found the rest of the ironing pile, I'd put it in a different cupboard for some reason :rolleyes: anyway, its all done now

I've also thrown out ds old uniform and put all his new stuff away and sorted his wardrobe out so everythings in type order, trousers together, shirts together etc ... I know it won't last but it didn't take long and makes me feel better for doing it I've packed his p.e. bag too ready for next week.

The flat is looking the tidiest I've seen it for months, still stuff to do but at last it feels nice Okay, another update time ...

Off to make some lunch, then this afternoon I'm aiming to get 2 more bits on ebay, do the NI form, do some scrapbook with ds, do the mystery shop and post the ebay items. Anything else today is a bonus

benbenandme

Slight flaw in the plan ... I have lost the receipt I'm supposed to submit :mad: I hope they still pay me :rolleyes: I have completed the NI form though so thats ready to go Ds is vegging in front of a dvd so scrapbooking is delayed for a bit, just off to wrap the ebay parcel then may attempt a tesco online order or sort out the online banking

benbenandme

Just earned 3.80 from surveys :beer: Best lot I've had for ages !!

benbenandme

I've just done the online banking, the money is on its way back from the bookies, and I will be able to bank 130.00 of that into the mortgage pot, not bad for 3 weeks matched betting The account was 58.00 overdrawn this month which I think is pretty good considering its the holidays and I had to buy glasses that weren't budgeted for this month It will be all square again ready for payday on friday

Karmacat

Oops about the receipt, but otherwise a really good day - and a great survey total, its the little things that really strike us, isn't it? I bet you're pleased you took up matched betting, thats given you a big plus towards your summer total. I'm going to print out that future plan of mine, blu-tak it to the wall by the desk, where I can see it every day, rather than fiddling about finding that post again. Here goes....

benbenandme

Yep, wish I'd started ages ago now on the matched betting, but am loving it so far KC I've made about 130 profit so far and 70 quid through quidco too for the bookies I've signed up for :beer:


It must be my lucky day as I have had 3 more surveys in my inbox this afternoon, for 2.00, 4.00 and 5.00 :eek: :eek: I was screened out of two of them but completed the 4.00 one
