You need to ring around a few and check what services the offer. Goldsmiths, the jewellers, don't buy off you but goldsmiths and other jewellery specialists do but not all of them. Look in the yellow pages and on the internet. There are loads around.

Not all do everything...if you know what mean.

Thanks for your help Lemma I will do that. Have you had any hassle when selling any jewellery on Ebay after you have sent it, if you have sold any on there that is.

Hi all

Not really got much to report as I've not paid anymore off my debts or got a job yet. I did get some money for my birthday last Sunday but that is to pay for food and stuff like that. I've decided that I'm going to pay the money off my debt once I have a job sort of like an iou to me. I have now got about £200 worth of Next vouchers and I really need some new clothes cos I've lost loads of weight due to stress and my panic attacks.

My hubby and I went to our local pier today because it is our wedding anniversairy and we got some money off my father in law and used that to go bowling and get some burgers on the way home and still have some change to go in my jar to pay towards some debts. It made a change from being stuck in the house.

I'm soooooo bored of being at home. I am going to start ebaying etc. I know I keep saying that but my hubby is bored of things being stored in boxes that we don't really need cos we have a flat and not really alot of place to store things.

Oh one last thing... I joined shop and scan where I scan barcodes of what shopping I buy and up load it to their website. I'm not sure how good this is but there was a discussion on this on the up your income board a few months ago and thats how I joined. By doing this I can earn vouches and although its only £1 worth a week I thought it would help pay for presents and food for next Christmas. God I can't believe I'm thinking of that already!!!!

Keep up the good work everyone.

I have not sold jewellrey directly via ebay but one word of advice is only accept a bid off a UK buyer or else you can get chargeback and fraud issues that are not necessarily covered by the Paypal guarantee.

We have been stung and it would take too long to explain.

Another £100 to VAT today.:rolleyes:

£18.10 to M&S today which is a card clear!!!! wooo hooo. Just have to make sure I don't spend on it again without thinking. Have used it to book a hotel room but have the cash to cover that so that's fine. Will pay that off in a couple of days when the transaction comes through.

hi all...well done my sums and have gone slightly backwards as have done it on a net (rather than gross) payment so have included interest plus I did a bt to egg to save interest and the fee was huge...onwards and upwards! Have been earning lots extra with babysitting, jewellry and flogging bits n bobs. Worryingly though I will have to tile the hall downstairs and having problems with the roof - both of which will take some time to catch up from...grrr!

Sig has been updated.

Has anyone noticed how awfully quiet it has become round here?;)

Come on folks....start posting.

It does not have to be a target of £20k it could be any target...large or small.
