    £3.90 profit from some kids boots I sold on ebay.
    I sold some shoes too, but they've not paid for them yet, so I don't know the profit. Got a couple of amazon sales to post too.
    I must look at the other site people keep mentioning.....green something.
    I'm also going to look at the free bingo tonight.

  • Good to see everyone doing so well, keep it up!

    I've got a few bits to add today too...25p from Onepoll (that might go up, as I've noticed they seem to add more surveys throughout the day sometimes). My lovely nanna gave me £10 petrol money yesterday, as I always give her lifts to Asda etc - she knows I don't like taking it from her, but I had about a teaspoon of petrol left so it was very welcomed! And then I had to stay an extra 20 minutes at work yesterday as my boss was late back, so that's £1.91 extra pay :)

    I’m up to about £7 on my daily clicks, not including any sign-up bonuses etc (that's after 3 days of clicking), and £5.20 on the daily scratch cards so that’s coming along nicely - although again, not counting these until they are in my bank account! Feel like I'm doing well so far, I'm just being very impatient waiting for all the hard work I've been doing to materialise into hard cash!

    Good luck with the mystery shop glitterjunkie. They are good fun and sure you'll be less nervous as time goes on. I've been doing them for a few months now and have started to get into the swing of them now. My advice would be to have the most important things you have to make a note of in your head when you walk in and then when you leave the location write them all down to make sure you dont forget. You can even take the assignment questions along and re-read them when you leave the premises in case you forget anything. I've done this before and managed to walk back in to check something I forgot to note as they wont notice especially when they are busy! :)

    Thankyou so much for the advice Gambit, thats made me feel less nervous! :) I've got to stay on the premises for 15 minutes after buying my items...do you reckon I'd be able to get away with writing stuff down on my mobile while I'm there? As it would just look like I was texting! I am quite forgetful so am a bit worried I'll make a terrible mystery shopper, but if I can write stuff down soon afterwards then I'll be okay :D I'll defo follow the tip of going back in if I forget anything too!

    I'd like to join too please, sorry about being slightly behind you all - I've just had one of my credit card cashbacks payments though which I think is bumping me up.

    Just £5 though for my first month

    glitterjunkie, when I'm out mysteryshopping I can be constantly 'texting' myself reminders, in fact I usually go in with the main points to assess saved as drafts in my phone so as I see them I can make a note or two to remind me of them for later.
    I also find the best way to write up the assignment is to do it as soon as I get home, so I know I havent forgotten anything. But you really do just need to relax and enjoy it, no point doing it if you dont enjoy it!
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
