Going to have alook at Grabbit now...used to llok all the while but would only buy for me, stopped looking as kept buying things I didn't really need! ooo - just realised I have 2 pairs of the Littlewoods £1 jeans that are to long for me, was thinking of trying to take them up but might sell them instead!!

    Glad I could help!

    I must admit I look out for Grabbits too! EG I bought 4 pairs of the crocs that Sports direct were selling the other week... worked out £5 a pair inc delivery... kept one for my DD and the others are on ebay now, I only listed them today but hopefully they will sell at a profit.


    I wouldn't have had the balls to do it if it weren't for this thread so I owe everyone on here a big thanks!

    Amber - *shock* *horror* you are working! LOL!!! Don't mean it really!

  • Hey everyone :)
    Felt okay at 5am this morning, almost normal. Woke up at 10am feeling rubbish, OH had to go to work so tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. Have just been lying on the bed...I've got no idea what this is but it's horrible.
    Am going to try walking to Sainsburys with OH for fresh air, and then getting something I can snack on to see if it makes me feel better.

    I hope everyone else is having a far more productive day! And Munchki, how did it go?
    Signature down for maintenance :rotfl:
  • Firstly, thanks to everyone that was around last night when i had a..erm...wobble :o

    Melon ballers ARE important, honest!

    Anyway, I had a mahoosive think (hour and a half in the bath) this morning and i've decided to give up Avon since it actually costs me money and I spend way too much on things I don't really need (most of which are now destined for eBay :rotfl:) and then i'll have more time to work on creative things I want to do business/work wise without affecting my money/hours stupid financial situation very much. Also, i'm going to be moving my little man to a fully funded preschool session (saving £140 a month) and have my friends kids one day a week in return for her having him 1 afternoon and 1 weekend night fortnightly when I'm working (still working on the other nights babysitting :o) BUT I have half a plan and for once, it's actually one that i like and should provide a good balance between things I need to do and things I want to do, without leaving me skint :)

    EBay stuff upto £30 odd with a couple of hours to go on most of it :D
    Really must work on getting more on there though!

    Hope your all well.

    Hey all!!

    well i have been lurking for a little while and am finally taking the plunge and joining in!

    Made a start on this challenge on tuesday and so far my balance is sitting at £11.25....not bad but am already out of things to sell on ebay. may have to have a trip into the attic soon!!

    Am currently trying to find a job (without any luck) so until something pops up this challenge could really help! We have a lot of debt and the quicker we can get rid of it the better and more fun life will be!

    So here's to making £10,000!! :j

    Been busy making jewellery most of the afternoon, priced it up and taken some pics, so can upload those tonight and keep working on the wording of my site. I'm really excited about this now. Just need to settle on my name, still not sure.

    Yummymummy, you sound like you're desperate to get out of the house! Completely sympathise and agree with everyone else who thinks you sound like you're doing a good job. I think Avon is a waste off time too, liked talking to the people but never seemed to earn any real cash for all the hours I put in.
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    I am back. Last night I got loads done....not.... I went to our bedroom away from kids to 'plan' and look at my ebay box for ideas on what to list first and wakened up at 7am :)

    Amber - I no like that listing. I can read tarot a little bitty but havent for ages. To methat listing looks like some one who had got a DIY tarot deck for christmas and is trying.
