    Hi All, I'm desperately trying to catch up on this shiny new thread and don't know if I will before next week, so thought I'd ask now to be added to the first post please.

    I'll still keep the links updated if it's still needed. Bing0 hasn't posted it on the first post of his/her new thread, so I'll just post it on here for now.

    I'm on a mission to pay my mortgage off early. I've posted this before, so sorry to repeat myself, but I have suddenly realised that the end of my mortgage is actually an achievable and real prospect rather than the far distant unreal prospect I had before. I've been guilty of spending a lot of money on absolutely nothing for years and now I'm kicking myself as I reckon I could have almost paid it off already if I'd been more sensible. So here's to 2010 being the year I came to my senses :p and the year I joined a great thread :T

    I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy.

    Things You Never Thought You Could Sell
    Hey everyone. This is my first go at starting a new thread that may help people. So if it's ,erm, not very good just ignore it as I no doubt sure you will.

    Right, the concept is for people to post things that they have sold on auction sites like ebay. But thats not just it, it has to be things you would'nt normally think you would get money for but you did.

    Weird things like empty fragrance bottles, I mean who would want a empty fragrance bottle?? But poeple do as I have just found out when I sold my wife's empty Angel perfume bottle for £5.50.

    This may help people who have things lying around which they don't think they could sell and acquire the little bits of money to help to get debt free. So hope its a sucess. :o

    Thought the members who have run out of things to ebay in their houses might want to have a look at this thread hope it helps ellie

    someone I work with sold an empty mobile phone box for twenty quid ? They made certain that the advert clearly stated that it was for the box only and they couldn't believe their luck.

    I don't think I've sold anything unusual. Just binned loads of Vivienne Westwood Boudoir bottles that I had sitting in a draw, should have seen if I could have sold the orb stoppers.

    Good idea to give people a bit of inspiration

    I have a bottle of rose Moet & Chandon encrusted with pink crystals, it's empty :D but I may try listing it. Thank you :T

    Hello all :-)
    EM-I've posted your order :-)

    Had a good day today-woke up to an ebay sale, managed to find a printer for £27.99 and while out bumped into some people I havent seen for years and had a good natter. Also popped into my old workplace, they were all rushing around like headless chickens-god I'm glad to be out of there!!

    Dribbly Update

    I'm back! Done some of my cleaning but the muchkin is wanting to crawl about so I thought I'd have a break so I can watch him lol. Dribbling all over the floor lol (should be napping but meh)

    Non Dribble Update

    Someone is coming to veiw OH's car tonight, hopefully sell it. Its a non runner eh but apparently Honda spares are expensive so someone has offered £200 :j Fingers crossed. Of course I'll be 'taking care' of this money in MY savings account hehe.

    Ebay wise - 14 watchers on my perfume and 2 bids (£1.04) 3 days left to go so hopefully this will go up a bit.
  • Afternoon all! Well 4 of my items have now been bid on including my basque which now has 10 watchers! Still waiting for those books to come grr.
  • Does anyone have a link to the thread mentioned? Definitely worth a look - no idea is too weird or wacky for the Dribblers ...

    hi, hope everyone is well and busy making cash :)

    just finished catching up on what I've missed. Can someone point me in the direction of what 'matched betting' is. I tried my hand at bingo and didn't even have one win but matched betting sounds interesting.

    Can't believe January is nearly gone, can't wait to add up what I've made so far although it's helped somewhat by my sale of just about everything in my jewellery box bar my wedding and engagement ring

    daisygogo matched betting a bit complicated to explain but there is a website here http://www.mbguru.co.uk/index.html that explains it, don't worry if it sounds complicated because betmunch has recently started a google group that breaks the process down into really easy to understand chunks that pretty much walks you through the whole process. You can pm him at his profile here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/member.html?u=610675 and he'll invite you to the group then just start at his first message and work through, he only started it two or three weeks ago so there aren't pages and pages to work through or anything.

    not much to report apart from downstairs is now tidy and hoovered, no reply to email about my postal address as yet (bah stuff them), ebay is quiet and thats about it,

    pay day today which means a big HURRAH, we made it through the month without bank charges (was looking close at one point) but I might have a late payment fee from Cap 1 (only £12 compared to £22 from the bank so not too bad)

    time to start getting the monthly shopping sorted out and in and ordered
