  • I have a cupboard FULL of knitting wool and craft stuff, and I just lost my job at Hobbycraft :(

    I think I'll be doing what I always wanted, customised clothing and crafty things to sell on etsy/ebay.

    Count me in please, my boyfriend says I'll never do it but now I'm jobless I need to do something in between finding another job!

    Hi CTC - love this thread - even getting the kids to help.

    playing free bingo is costing you something - time - I think the secret to this endeavour is going to be focus on what is most profitable, (so I should probably stop sitting here posting - at least you have a chance of winning something)

    i have 2 windows open at the same time so 'flirt' between the two....:rotfl:

    this afternoon it was slice the pie and here....

    tomorrow it will prob be slice the pie and amazon listing some books...lol...

    ohh multitasking - you will succeed - often twice at the same time

    as a bloke - not something I achieve very often :o
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    Aw, not good about you losing your job but I'm so jealous of all the craft stuff you must have!!!

    I think one of the most valuable resources each of us have is our own hands.
    Anyone can buy stuff, then sell it, but making stuff to sell is so much cheaper and personal.
    So far on this thread, i've seen hamster beds & cakes! genius!
    Im not very creative with my hands, but i always think things like.. Wedding and party invitations can easily be done by a mum while the kids are in school, while watching a bit of maury on the telly! Theyre personal, cheaper and customisable for the likes of gay couples, as i know a mate of mine had a bit of a kerfuffle as he couldnt find any Mr & Mr invitations/menus/other wedding paper stuff, im guessing its the same for Miss and Miss!
    Valentines cards/baskets all personalised, maybe get together with a friend, and get them delivered by hand the their house on the day?

    absolutely brimming with ideas here :p


    The Mr & Mr invitations are a fab idea, when I was at Hobbycraft there was nothing like that there and a lot of their wedding stuff to be honest looked a bit naff and overpriced.

    One thing I used to do a few years back was to go to the local charity shops and buy some things to sell on ebay as vintage (exactly the same as the posh boutique vintage places do) or buy some rather plain things and re-vamp them a bit. I made £40 on a jacket by "goth"ing it up a bit to sell around Halloween. Hand painted tshirts are fun quick and easy, great for ebay, or use fabric pens if you don't like paints.

    If you do use charity shops and make a rather big profit it is nice to make an extra donation back to them... or keep them in mind when you're next feeling charitable ;)

    Bingo Britain

    Register on the website

    Deposit £5

    Play bingo and use all of your £5

    The following day you will get £5 in your bonus money section

    Play bingo and use all of your £5 (either spend it all at once or pre-buy tickets to use up the £5, if you only spend £1 of it and then win and then buy tickets .. the money will come from your cash balance)

    Withdraw your winnings so you are left with zero cash

    The following day you get £5 bonus money to play etc etc ... for 30 days

    I'm now £45 in profit thanks to Bingo Britain

    Did anyone else have any problems depositing? I tried a couple of times and it would not go thru. I spoke to the live help who said "there was a debarred value that is activated after the player confrims their details.

    They asked for my name address and DOB and after a couple of minutes said I would now be able to deposit.

    Now of course, I'm worried about having given the operator this info. Is the site safe?
