hi mrsC - it sounds like continuing to focus on ebay could be a way forward. Do you already do surveys like lightspeed and valued opinions - if not I could refer you if you like? Do you do free daily scratchcards at bingo sites.... ? Do you do the free trial cashback offers at places like quidco - if not get over to the Make £10 a day thread on the DFW board for more ideas... I'd happily refer you to bingoport where you can get amazon vouchers....(I would then get free points too) or you can of course go direct....

It would be stupid to say stop worrying but at the same time - worrying isn't helping... do the little things to make money. Can you do some mystery shopping? Again look at the up your income board for ideas... There are solutions you just need to look in different places to normal for the answers...

Hope that helps a little

Hey ho Mrs - you're sounding upbeat and chipper. Glad things are turning a corner for you.

I'm writing an essay...about African Art...I know nothing about African Art...spot the flaw in the plan? :rotfl:

hi lurker and kissjenn - hey ho to u both. had an interesting chat with an new friend today about how reduced income really does have a massive impact if you have been used to having money. like me they were almost embarrassed to be found in this position, but also like me they are doing their best to get on with it and deal.

i have and am learning some valuable lessons - bit late in the day but ....

and, yes lurker im a lovely person ... nOT!

ha ha

mrscmr

was thinking that when i go to jsa meeting ... would wear a mostache and dark glasses... what do you think?

Lurker1972

might be a bit warm for that.....try playing the 'do you come here often game'.......passes the time!
