    Nothing yet for me today.

    However, I've just added another few CDs on Play.com! As I've got over 400 CDs (eeekkk!), I've got to convince myself that I don't need to keep ALL of them but it's so hard. It's almost as difficult as "letting go" of many of my stacks of books when I started listing them on Green Metropolis.

    When I'm feeling "brave", I might be tempted to start listing stuff in multiple locations (Amazon, Play, Green Metropolis ...) - must make me sound rather daft and a bit pathetic! :o

    Just got an email through saying I have sold another DVD on Amazon, which means I have made £14.85 today minus tomorrows postage costs. I will update when I know what I have made!

    Through some lucky wins - posting, the surveys and comments at the beginning (did you find these?). Im up to £30 now. Love this site!

    I did the surveys, not seen the comments though - where can I find those? I just won one and two lines but don't seem to get past 2000. Will post some more in the forums. I do love the site though, its fun. Well done for getting that much

    Not at all - its hard getting rid of all those things to start with but it gets easier when the money starts coming in

    Well done - and you get your fees back after posting too so its well worth having a go at the moment

    Anyone wanting to know how much postage for DVDs and CDs will be - a normal DVD or CD in a padded envelope (therefore large letter and under 250g) will cost 66p second class :)

    Just realised that I forgot to add in my savings from Sainsbury's yesterday!

    Saved £9.01 by taking my pot of coppers and 5p pieces, and from deals on normal stuff that I was buying.
