Hi girlies,

You don't mind me joining in do you??
I'm on bingoport, i seem to get up to 1000points and then fall back down to 200 points then it just keeps going like that, might just keep doing it on auto.
Saving my money for holiday but being money neutral with it as using nappy cake sales to fund my holiday money so am i being money neutral?? Or is that my thoughts??
..xx

That is 100% being money neutral well done! do you keep a tally on how much you have been earning from them?

Sorry but I am going to have a little whinge ....

less than 2 weeks ago the question was asked about threads being seperated or kept together and from reading the posts the general opinions was to keep it all together in one thread like one big happy family.

Now I personally never used the old threads, I found them too confusing and only recently joined the one big conjoined thread which I loved and would never want to change it. You guys have helped me out a lot, you have been there for the rants about various things in life, you have helped support me in trying to reach Jammys challenge and you have also inspired me to do more surveys and manage to be organised in my DD's birthday pressies which cost me a total of approx £15 (well before I blew another £20 trying to ship one in from america due to not being available in the UK)

Anyway my rant is ...

Why have 2 threads when it was working perfectly well as one thread?

I have to admit I now find it completely confusing and trying to catch up with the posts has been a nightmare! I have thanked each one but I really am confused and now feel like I don't belong in either.

Sorry if I have offended anyone, this wasn't my intention but I guess I should be saying goodbye ... I don't know where to post or what to post so it is often better not to post. Thankyou to you all and I guess I shall maybe see you on other parts of the forum. well that is unless they all change aswell then I shall just stop all together :rotfl:

Good luck with your various challenged everyone and I hope life treats you all well you are a lovely bunch of people xxx


P.S I have posted this on the other thread aswell

Hi Rust, Have PM'd you but the short answer is "the money neutral side wasn't working as well as the old thread did" the long answer is in the PM

If you feel you can join us too then great, if not then will see you on Mel's thread for chatters

Afternoon!
I'm not so good at being money neutral but now have 3 things listed on eBay and am going to list a few more later - DD has grown alarmingly just recently so have loads of her clothes to list but I find it really boring - lol.

Have been doing ok on surveys recently but haven't got raound to totting everything up. Will do it when I have a spare hour or two.

TBH I only ever list grown up named clothes as I can't be faffed washing and ironing them.

Kids clothes seem to do ok although I made a bit of a bodge up last time and didn't make very much but did clear some space. It's a bit hit and miss.

Craft stuff goes quite well as well but is a pain to list.

I remember selling a part pack of dyson filters for a couple of quid once still amazes me what people will buy :rotfl:.

Note to self list 3 more items tonight
