    *kick* come on Bebsie get those items listied :) it will be worth it in the end. Less clutter and more money

    I would get them down the bootsale and sell for at least 30p/40 each - most of the bootsales I go to charge anything from 60p to £1 for a can of drink. If you have an ice box even better on a hot day

    These cans are very small (not the proper size) don't you think 30/40p may be too much? also, do you not think it's wrong to sell something she got for free :confused:

    Thanks for the kick, I will list tonight, I will, I will, I will.......:rotfl:

    Bebsie, you know what size the drinks are, so your pricing might well be more appropriate. But .... of course its okay to sell them! Of course it is! :):):)

    Hi guys - hope you are all having a good weekend.

    I have sold a DVD on Amazon overnight - I will add it to my total once it has been posted on Monday, so I know my exact "profit" only a couple of quid but all helps!

    Also have a bid of £1.04 on ebay (whoop!) with 6 days to go, so hoping that ticks up over the next few days, and have done the usual scratch for 10p. I will see if I can summons up the brain energy to do a dooyoo review this evening.......

    Hi all!

    Bebsie I say sell em! or give some to a charity shop and sell some yourself. You could sell them for 20p a can or 8 for £1. If you want to get rid of them it would be best to at least try and sell em and get some money for them.

    I had a fab surprise in the post today! I won a local competition and got £100 cheque :)

    Oh right, didn't realise they were little ones. I would still sell them though even though they were free. If you don't want them but someone at the bootsale needs a drink then everyone is happy :)

    Hi everyone,
    hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far. I'm going to go to bed and have a "24 athon" in a bit. yeay. (sad... 23, saturday night, bed by 8pm. mse or what lol.)

    Bebsie, i'd say defo for selling the cans- i think those little ones go for 27-28p in the supermarkets?? maybe do 2 for 40p or something. if it's hot people will be chuffed. i've thought of doing it before myself- you can get 6 cans for £1 at Asda at the min (schwepps) - so even just selling them at 40-50p you'd make like 30p ish per can, and it's still cheaper than most people sell them for. we've paid £1.50 for a bottle of water for kids to share at a boot before when it was roasting and thed been on boucy castle and were both pouring with sweat. had no choice at the time, wasn't as organised and MSE as I am now though lol. :D

    Only got £16 to update at the mo, transferred it to my savings account which is £106 over drawn, need to get it reduced before bank start hasseling for it, which they obviously will at some point. It'll come down if I keep adding bits in. Slowly but surely.

    About half way through paying HSBC back for our overdraft- was £2200 and something, now about £1400- £170/month until December :( and then it's done :)

    May is always an expensive month for us, so I was never going to do fabulous this month. So trying not to be too disheartened! June WILL be better!

    Right, going to make my brew to take to bed to watch 24 :D

    Have a nice night everyone xx

    £7.50 saved on fares this week.

    My tactic of increasing my target to motivate myself has failed miserably - I've sold absolutely nothing this week. Think I'll try the good old fashioned "kick up the behind" - it's got to be more effective ...
