Morning all
Firstly - Jesa - hope your head is ok this morning. That sounded nasty! :eek:
Not much to report here. I have one item listed on eBay, due to what I have described on another thread as a motivational lacuna aka lazyitis. Hope to do better this week.
Other than that, I have sold a couple of books on Amazon which I will count when I get paid, made modest amounts of money on the scratchies, and have been checking the survey sites daily, although I'm clearly the unfashionable demographic of the week...
On the plus side, OH (who is self-employed and not at his most busy) has been inspired by my whittering on about MSE, and has signed up as a mystery shopper. He's been on his first assignment, which happened to be somewhere he would go anyway, and has been taken off probation. He's now set himself a £200 target for cash from new sources.
This thread's influence is spreading far and wide. :T0 -

Jesa - hope you are ok today.
£10 voucher from Valued Opinions arrived in the post today, and I used a £3 off coupon for my food shopping - signature updated"There's only one way of life and that's your own" - Levellers
"I'm feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night" - Bon Jovi0 -
Nothing for me today, but I have signed up to a few mystery shopping sites so hopefully might start getting a bit of cash from those. I honestly didn't expect there to be anything available in my little town, but there was one job listed, which I requested for next week - a free meal and £4 for 15 minutes work, not bad! I'm so nervous though, eek!
