The Turn £100,00 into £10,000 by the end of 2010 all dribble unofficial Thread

HopeAndDriftWood

Did you take the contract out at £35 a month? If it was lower and you increased it, they won't decrease it, but if it was £35 from the start and you don't go near your allowance they might do.
Does that make any sense?
(Typed with one hand, I'm eating an Easter egg!)

anybody know anything about mobile phone contracts? my dd has a £35 month contract with O2 and so do i, Dd has about 5 months to go and i'm not sure how long i have, be about the same i think - is it worth phoning them to try and reduce the tarriff or will they just laugh at me?

Competition is strong amongst diff companies and it is always well worth haggleing with them!! Especially if it is closer to the end of contract.

Your welcome. What I have done in the past is search online for the best possible offer I can find that will work for what I need and then I go to whoever and haggle with them and if all else fails say that is ok, I will just take my business to such and such and they will generally match or sometimes even better the offer! I have done this for both my own personal items (anyone that knows that I hate paying full price for about anything) and also re-negotiated all the contracts at my last job having saved literally tens of thousands for them, lol even negotiated 35k off the purchase of a new office building when the boss could not get anywhere.....

Now if I could just make real money this way lol, ex boss used to say I should be a buyer lol

hmmm not eating anything although do have munchies lol, but guess I will stick to the glass of red I have here!

well done everyone on all the little things you have done today to move it the right direction , it maynot be intant cash but it will be cash one day .

anyway 45 flowers done today - worked out it takes me about 5 minutes to amke each one . I've ordered some little plastic bags from ebay so that i can package them , just have to design a little logo to go on the piece of card i am going to attach to the top -
I am going to photograph this first lot and list them on ebay , then give them away at a charity event i am going to next weekend - well ask people to make a donation for them . hopefully if they go down well enough the shop owner I know might be interested in stocking them so i need them to look proffesionally packaged . any ideas ?

Jane, that's great, I was going to suggest maybe getting clear plastic (cellophane? I dunno) to print your own logo/writing on and make them into little bags but then I saw Nikki's post about bag toppers, didn't know what they were so I Googled it and found this
http://http://alenkasprintables.com/bag_toppers.shtml
-hopefully it'll help, I'm really impressed by this and might be able to use it myself :T

Well the boy-child is fast asleep and doesn't seem to have a temperature, the sofa cushions and stairs and clothes etc etc are washed, and I've got as far as I can before i have to wait anyway for paint to dry, so will post a pic tomorrow
...just wanted to say a great big THANK YOU to everyone for being so lovely, have calmed down a bit now! Might have that JD now :beer:

You should be a buyer ... and your ex boss (and any future boss) should have had you on commission. It is an art form to get real value when purchasing and you sound like a natural .

Right guys - I think i need some help!!! :rotfl:

no - seriously! I have ideas of what i would like to do but dont really know how to go about them or how sellable they are!

My only 'talent' if you can call it that is im very good at making hampers/gift boxes etc up - here's a pic of one i did a couple of xmas's ago for a gift for my auntie



So i was thinking about doing smaller sized (gift box size) ones - possibly with make up in???

What do you guys think????? It's taken me nearly a week to build up the courage to ask you all what you think - daft i know coz i know your all great!!
