    I'm so bored and have no idea what to do!!!

    I've listed 23 items on eBay...I could probably find more, but after 23 I'm feeling pretty bored of it. I've got a few hours spare and really wanted to focus on ~money making~ but would much rather go and crawl into bed after a nice hot bath and watch some tv.
    I like to make money
    Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder


    :j Make £10 a day challenger - it pays for trips to Florida! :j

    didn't get much listed on ebay yesterday, this is my problem, just get so distracted when taking pictures to list.

    But looking at quidco account, a lot of money is finally getting paid, so pay out at end of this month, should be more than I am expecting.

  • Aha! I knew i'd forgotten some bits and bobs!

    £25.60 from topcashback
    £2.10 for a free coffee from my local chappy (buy 6 get 1 free, much more cost effective than neros & he's cheaper anyway)
    £0.50p (he gave me a free shot of hazelnut syrup today in exchange for some business advice lol)
    £6 on a BOGOF for OHs comedy boxers lol
    £3.59 of multibuy savings!
    £20 saving as bought a 12 bucket card for the driving range for £28 instead of paying £4 a bucket!!!!

    So thats another £57.79 to add to my siggy :T total's looking a little healthier now!

    My ebay is doing appalling tho! and I can't remember the last time i got a sale on Amazon!!!!!! What's going on?!?

    Does anyone know a good place to sell thimbles? I've been given the mammoth task of selling all 150+ of my nan's collection! I've tried a couple of dozen on ebay with not a single bid! :mad::mad::mad: (all starting at 99p + 50p postage)

    I've also got a classical guitar, an electric guitar and an amp to shift. But given the amount it'll cost to post them I can't see ebay being a great option, any ideas?

    That's fabulous pinkneon - a very healthy dollop towards your target :T Appreciate it's not very imaginative but perhaps a car boot for nan's thimbles and your guitar stuff or try an ad in the local paper.

    £14 for me today - £3 from an ebay sale and £11 from the kind people at Wozzon for the reviews I wrote last month - had actually forgotten about them so was a lovely surprise this morning :D
