Thanks you two . I have more good news today. Firstly my ebay items are up to £24 now, but better than that I've got an extra £250 from work . Basically we have a thing where we can make suggestions that would benefit the business. I made one not even expecting it to be put into practice, but it was and I've been awarded £250 for it.Yay! Also, in my one to one today I made it obvious that I'm getting a bit bored so my team leader has given me something a bit different to do in addition to what I'm doing at the moment.

Eighth Folksy sale today, yay .

Everything is looking good for you nic, hope it keeps up! And wicked on the £250 wish i had work that did that.....ok id have to think of a suggestion first lol but that is majorly awesome, quick think of some more lol x

Thanks Stacy . I'm so tired at the moment, I've got things to do though so I should probably get cracking with them.

I've just been adding up my jewellery sales for April which came to £102, after the deduction of fees and postage I've made a total profit of £87 which isn't too bad, though I will be taxed on that later on. Still though, it isn't that bad when I'm not really putting a huge deal of time or effort into it. I've sold three lots of hair slides today which will go into next months figures, I've made £22 from them though which is encouraging.

I also think I'm going to open a new Folksy shop to get rid of the plastic bits that I still have. It will be quite a lot of work, but I'm trying to clear things out and I need to get rid of it all somehow.

That's really good Nicki well done.

BTW after your help last night. I blogged about your photo help with a link to your shop.

Nichelette

Thanks Yukki, I'm glad it was useful. I think decent photos help a lot when it comes to selling things so fingers crossed you'll get a few more sales.

Sooo. Loan payment went today, and provided I'm paid the right amount this week I'll have over £700 to overpay on the loan. There's £220 sitting in the account at the moment (account is only used for the loan, so anything in there is for overpaying), plus my pay and the money from my idea for work which should give me about £500. In addition to that I've got £30 from the bits I sold on ebay last week in my account which has just come in through paypal, and I've sold something else on there for £17 today.

Oh, and I've voted... There's still time for anyone that hasn't so make sure you do . My degree was in politics so I kinda feel obligated lol. I'm 24 tomorrow, though to be honest given the financial mess I'm in I'm not very excited about the prospect, and I feel old lol.

Nichelette

Thanks Stacy . I'ts horrible isn't it! I think it's worse because I'm living with my dad and the rate things are going at can see myself being here til I'm at least 30. That's nearly half my life .

Happy birthday to yoooooo.

I think the rate you've been chucking money at that loan, you'll be gone before you know it.
