Morning everyone,

Your welcome mm , I'm jealous of anyone that gets their post before 2pm lol. I'm not sure if I mentioned it but I used £60 of my Amazon vouchers to buy an exercise bike which was half price, my nan had one when I was younger and I loved it. Anyway, it has been sent tracked and according to the tracking it is in the van now, so I'm having to wait in for it to be delivered.

I've had a bit of a clear out of my room and have found a phone I'm going to send to Tesco for recycling so I can get into Hampton court for free, but it doesn't say anything about sending the charger. When I was going to trade one in with o2 they wanted the charger too, so does anyone know if I need to send it? I guess I coud send it anyway, it's not like I need it...

moneymabel

No idea-I know when u snd them to envirophone etc you dont need to send the charger but not sure about tescos, perhaps just send it anyway?

can just see you pedalling away on your exercise bike with pliers in hand making jewellery lol!! Hows your site going?
I'm looking for another ways to take payments as paypal is carp-have heard bad things about nochex.

Nichelette

After saying that the post arrived about 20 minutes ago, and my boxes thank you . I bet I could make and cycle, I might give it a go lol.

The site is going okay, I'm trying to decide which colour to use for the background and the like.I think I might have decided, but sometimes I think it's a bit plain so I might consult with my friend who's better at these things. I'm not sure about other ways of payment as merchant services seem to be quite expensive.

moneymabel

No problem glad they've arrived :-)

Yeah nochex costs £50 to set up a merchant account. Have asked my mate who's doing my website if she knows of any good ones, i'll let you know what she says!
I think i'm going to be ging for a quite plain white background site to show up the jewellery photos more but it is difficult to decide

Good afternoon!
I never know when my post comes as am always at work. It also comes through the front door of the two flats along with post for people who used to live here, so am always worried it will get confused. Still looking out for a voucher and cheque.
My money making seems to have slowed down a lot, probably due to the exam, will have to get back on track.

moneymabel

Hi wendz,I'm still waiting for my toluna voucher....yawn...
i emailed mi-info the other day about my voucher and had an email back today asking for my address so fingers crossed i will get that one, hope so as it is a marks and Spencer one i was going to give my mum for her birthday in April!
Had a quite productive afternoon in the end, have worked out the cost of all my jewellery components and counted up what is in each piece and worked out the packaging costs, now i need to work out my hourly rate for each piece (how long it took to make i mean) and then do some maths..urgghhhhh
Also done some housework :-)

I hate pricing things up MM that's the worst part but worth it when you sell some pieces and actually make a profit.

I've been really naughty today and went into Boots and came out £30 lighter after spending on MYSELF!

I felt guilty and then told myself to stop it as we all need a treat every now and again and I got lots for that £30 too so think of all the reviews I will be able to write lol.

Hi all,

Just been to the post office to send a few bits and also some old broken gold jewellry that I'm selling. They should pay me for that tomorrow... will be a nice surprise to see how much I get for it

Nikki, which exercise bike did you get? Let us know if it's any good as I am looking to buy some sort of exercise-thing as I'm getting so fat and lazy.

moneymabel

Oooh what goodies did you get Yukki??? Enjoy them you deserve a treat.
I've finished my pricing-it actually worked out about the same as i was already seling stuff for-not bad as i made it up before lol!! Was a bit shocked though as one necklace..the BIG one in the collection should have been priced at £240 and was priced at £140...oops!
