*NEW* Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & Occasions 2010

Samantha - choose and item to review ie wii games and then work through the list writing reviews. Then DS games and work through again. Or perfumes, or toys, or brands like L'oreal/Molton Brown/Avon etc.

That's how most of us managed to do so well.

Keep at it HLCarrol - every little bit helps.

Rufus, What's that for? I bet they will be great.

Have done loads of surveys lately. I must be upto the 20,000 toluna challenge - I'm just waiting for the surveys to close and for the points to be added to my account.

Its for the Dickens Festival which is in Rochester. People dress up in Victorian clothes and they have a parade through the town and then they just wander round in the clothes all day. It goes on all weekend and my daughter loves dressing up.
One year I made outfits for the kids too, the two boys went as Oliver Twist and the grandaughter just had a nice victorian style dress and a shawl, daughter had a victoriand dress and shawl too. Grandaughter won prize for her age group and they were all in the paper, they were really excited. I cant seem to manage to make that many outfits at the moment as they ended up costing me a fortune in fabrics etc so just doing my daughters this year.

As for Ebay, my items finish this morning, the top is still as £2.50 with 2 watching, be lucky if that goes up. The jeans are doing better, one pair is at £9.48 with 32 watching and the other pair is at £10.50 with 26 watching. Will be out when they finish I expect as going to visit OH's Mum today, be first time I have ever been to her place in the 11 years we have been together lol. Still I can get my emails on my phone I think so will be able to check them at some point. Had someone asking about the jeans from France wanting me to post them over there but I am a bit wary of posting abroad as I want to send them all recorded delivery so I dont get any comebacks like not received etc so told them sorry but just posting to UK. I sold some beads once to someone in France and they gave me really bad feedback, wish I had kept them as I started making jewellery soon after.

Jeans went well, one pair went for £25 plus pp and other went for £16 plus pp, top only went for £2.50 but at least it sold, had pp on top of that too so all in all very pleased with it. Just have to wait for them to pay now.

Well done on your sales rufus, not doing so well here, been sceened out of all but one survey the last few days and managed about 80p on onepoll. All adds up I suppose.

Hoping to get a few more shopping.com reviews done today before the deadline tonight, off to do some cleaning now.

Here's how you could wrap it



LOL:rotfl: not sure what it would cost to post..........some people have no idea:eek:

On a better note, hope you get a good bidder who lives a little closer.

Susan - Just a thought, not sure how its done but there is a way of cancelling bids, if you go throught the ebay "HELP", there be a explanation from thee.

Good luck xx

midnightraven3

i would cancel the bid and add them to your BB list
then tighten up your bidder options
this one sounds like a scammer, i know you wont proceed with the sale, but you may loose out on fees
