  • You're doing so well at budgeteering ( i have a picture in my mind of a cow, with a fencing stick, fencing away at pound signs whenever I say that!)....I'm thankful that I'm 'inbetween sizes' at the moment so really need to try stuff on so no point in ordering online for me, or else I would get sucked in by the new look sale too. (Mmmm....sequins....)

    Right, here's how things stand at the moment for me.

    Money

    Spends = £66.62
    PAD = £0 but padding from Spends money
    Entertainment = £20.56
    Groceries = £0

    Purse = £8 (Shrapnel extracted to go into my PAD tin tomorrow!)

    Ebay

    9 items left to sell
    1 sold for £38.99 including postage. My shoes are going to a better place *sob*

    3 items have bids on them totalling £18.46.

    Only two items don't have watchers and the rest have multiple watchers. If anyone wants some Benefit mascara (unused) or a ltd edition Elvis Presley box then PM me and I will send you a link :rotfl:

    Other schemes

    I made another £3 on BB this morning. The banking bit seems to be gubbed again though so I've not withdrawn it yet. For the amount of time it takes to do it's a good return! I received my last win of £2.50 this morning so that's been PADded. I have made £8.50 since 11th November which isn't bad at all.

    The postage labels for Music Magpie arrived last night so that's what I'll be doing tonight.

    Quidco is holding steady. I need to sort out my Xmas shopping plans tonight as my parents are down this weekend so I will be forced to go to the shops anyway...

    Must dash - I need to see if I have any brown paper in which to wrap my Ebay goods!

    *edit* £32.46 withdrawn from Paypal. Shoes netted £37.46 after Paypal fees (minus postage) so I have left £5 in my Paypal account to cover fees from Ebay which they will undoubtedly request on Christmas Day or somesuch nonsense!

    Now is a good time as people are looking for gifts/outfits for the party season. Do it now before it's too close to Christmas to guarantee delivery!

    I'm also planning on selling some things closer to Valentine's Day (Perfume, makeup, jewellery) as I have done this before and made a fortune!
