My £3k challenge

yukkibear

I would love to have it gone by xmas lol, but I seem to be running out of ideas at the mo.

I have been naughty tonight and had a chinese takeaway, as well as ordering my first couple of digital scrapbook pages to be printed. Oh and a memory stick to store all the pics on.
I did get it all through a cashback site so not all bad (except the chinese)

CPC I did post a couple of survey sites on your diary. If you want referring to any I can do that for you

I use quidco, top cashback, lightspeed, mytns and some others that I never remember.

Working this weekend, seriously need to get listing new bits on Ebay. I have about 50 items on there that I think are on their 3rd go round now. They are starting to sell as time goes by and whilst the 99p listings are free I'll carry on relisting them.

I'm sure if you carry on the way you are going, you'll have it gone in no time! I'm sure the chinese was a well deserved treat for you, and the digital scrapbook pages are a little indulgence for you! Plus if you did it on a cashback site, then its totally justified...;)

I'll have a look at the survey sites you've posted on my diary, thanks for that. :money:

You've put me to shame with your 50 items on ebay!! I'm only sitting at around 17 I think - and I was so full of good intentions wanting to list 10 per day... some catching up required tonight and tomorrow I think!

Are the 99p listings free to relist too? x

yukkibear

Yes cpc the 99p listings are free to relist as well. It seems to be my favourite button at the mo lol.

I have managed to get 6 new listings on this evening, and hopefully the same tomorrow. Just one small sale today but it all helps. I have one non payer at the mo and I have a feeling they wont pay either but it was only a small sale so no great harm, just the hassle of getting my fees back and relisting it.

Playing free bingo but nothing happening this weekend. I have won small amounts the last two weekends so I can't expect it all the time.

OH has kindly agreed to let me sell his old mobile as he has just upgraded so I am going to look around to see which will give me the best price on recycling it.

CWC I'll pm you a list of survey sites so you can get started to hopefully earn some more.

Thanks for that Yukkibear, I now have relisted another 18 items that I had on at 99p but didn't sell so they're back on and 3 have watchers already! :T

Thats very nice of your OH! I did one last week on cash-in-my-phone, it was only 8p more than mazuma were giving, but the cash back on quidco was £4.50 per basket with CIMP and Mazuma were only giving £1.50 per handset so I went with CIMP!!

Thanks for these, I will send you a note back with my email address, planning on a MSE evening tomorrow so will get stuck in then!

Phone has suitably been sorted and waiting for the envelope. Also got £3.60 cashback through topcashback so that was nice.

A few things on ebay sold this weekend but nothing major. Need to have another declutter in my house I think to find some more.

Well done YB - sounds like you're making brilliant progress!

Glad to hear you got the phone sold via a cashback site, this always makes me feel smart because I've managed to get a few extra quid out of the phone!

I've just packaged up four items to post that I have sold - I've listed a tonne of CDs and some of them are actually selling which is nice. I've also got the bumper and quilt for my DD's cot that I was going to list, although I might try and sell this at work first.

Happy Ebaying!! :j

yukkibear

Thanks guys.
CWC that just reminds me I'll have dd's duvet and bumper, curtains and some stickarounds to sell when we do the room. More stuff to sell yay lol.

OH and I have both got a day off next thursday by fluke it's together so I've told him we're going to decorate dd's room. That'll be a step further to getting her into her big bed. Oh and then I'll have to sell her cot as well which I'll prob put in the paper though rather than ebay.

Evening Yukkibear! Lol - great minds think alike, I have my DD's bumper and cot quilt and matress ready to photograph to sell!! :rotfl:Might try and sell it at work first because I may get more for it there. Our cot was a friends so I have to give it back to them.

Good luck with your decorating!! It was my DD's birthday today so she got loads of lovely presents. She is just about asleep now - although she's been in bed since 7.30ish!! :rolleyes: She was really good tho, she's been "reading" books and just shouting downstairs to make sure we are still here! She didn't once get out of her bed, so I'm really pleased!

Were you working this evening or did you have a well earned night off?

CwC x

yukkibear

Morning. Nope wasn't working yesterday thankfully, but did have the dentist instead
Thought I was having an extraction but then he filled it instead which was nice. They tried to charge me again for the treatment when I had already paid. It took an age in reception to sort it out, but I was right and I didn't owe money so I'm glad I queried it, so many people would just pay it.

It's my eldest daughter's birthday today so we're having a takeaway tonight and probably cake - yum.

I've had a tax credit overpayment from submitting my end of year last week but I'm going to wait to decide what to do with it until I get my paperwork and find out how much I'm getting this year.

Off to work later, and get a few more bits and pieces on Ebay. The pile doesn;t seem to be getting any smaller though but at least some money is trickling in now.
