Hi everyone,
well ive been a stay at home mum for the last 2.5yrs we now have a second little man who is just 6mth and ive always had a go at mystery shopping and ebaying to get some extra money as and when i needed it but i now need to start bringing in a regular ammount of cash.
This week so far i have sold off my old baby crib for £50, the old travel system for £50 and 3 accessories for another £25 so i have done well ive also sold a shirt on ebay and made £5 today.

I need to try and earn around £500 a mth while still being able to look after the boys. i know it probably sounds a lot but ive just lost my maternity allowance and it was around this ammount it gave us a nice easier life and id love to get as close to this ammount as possible so its my aim . Ive been reading the thread on odd things you never thought youd sell and i have also been reading lots of your diaries and getting tips.

the local car boot sales will start again soon and i thought i could start keeping an eye out for things to sell on ebay but i need some more ideas on how to make some cash. i have just photographed all my youngest sons 6-9mth clothes ready to sell them as hes just outgrown those , ive also got a set of 3 different bob the builder bedding sets and a lamp , bin and brand new stick arounds which i hope will get me a good ammount. im also going to sell my collection of me to you bears so fingers crossed people still like those too.

i just wondered what other ways i can start getting more money comming in? ive heard of scratch cards but have no idea where you find them. i looked at the matched betting but i dont really have money to risk. i know my things to sell will run out soon and i could really do with some ideas. i promise to share everything i try that works too helping others may bring me some luck too

i guess even if i could just save money on things too its like making money so that'd be good too. were off on holiday to devon in a few weeks and weve no spending money yet so i have to get on with earning ASAP . ill be listing on ebay all night tonight and im going to make some cards to sell on there too as i have loads of old craft stuff lying round the house so i may aswell put it to use and try to earn from it.

ive waffled on for ages now so ill say see ya later and hopefully youll share some ideas with me soon xxxx

Hi, just stopped by to wish you good luck with your earning. I'm sorry I don't have any big ideas for you. I am hoping to raise my holiday spending money too and hoping to get most of it selling on ebay.

The free scratchcards are on the online bingo sites. Theres a thread about them on the gambling section here I think all about which sites are related to each other. There are 2 different ones you can do each day and you get a guaranteed win of 10p a time (it all adds up)
