From Trash to Cash: the £100 to 10K Dribble thread

moneymakestheworldgoround

I'm a silver plated girl. Silver does bizarre things to me ! And I hate the way it tarnishes.

I have managed to get my ebay listings to the grand total of 1 !! That has taken me hours ! On the old computer it would have been 5 mins, on this thing its 4 hours ! Gonna be a long week ahead :rotfl:

1 is better than none though isnt it

I meant to write to mambury.....

Hey, is not Doncasters is it? Thanks for your thoughts re entitled to, I shall have to try that, when I rang tax credit helpline a while back re me working a few hours they told me we'd be better off if my oh only worked pt as they would make money up? Sounds too good to be true though!

Erm, very much off subject, but i wondered if anyone had any ideas about how i'd make an adult size (5'6'') sherbet fountain costume? Or would a rubiks cube be a better costume?

MM I am sooo intrigued with allsorts of thoughts going round my head! Anyway good luck with it.
Victoria plum if you or dh can work at least 16 hours then you should get quite a lot of tax credits esp with young baby.
I am sure when DS was little we got tax credits when dh went self employed.. his business never took off and eventually he got a job. but sure we got tax cedits because he was working even though self employed. not 100% sure on that though as it was quite a changeable time for us and what we got when is a bit blurred.

Definitely the Sherbert fountain, that would be so funny!!! Not sure how you'd go about it though, Im not that creative. I did once make my brother a chicken outfit outta a yellow candlewick bedspread that we padded out with lagging off the boiler, we made a matching headdress by covering a tennis racket cover....was a great costume but he was so hot inside it...hard to sit down in too!!! lol

Nixi-ive pm'd you :-)

Em-rubiks cube would be easier-big cardboard box! will think about it though and let you know if I have any ideas!

Wow Moneymabel, it sounds like you are on to a sure thing there.

Just updating my blog and wondered if there are any rules anywhere about what you can and can't put in. I want to write about a toy I bought my cats, (all good things), and was just about to submit it when I started wondering if I was allowed to do this. If I hated it and wrote bad things, could they sue me?

I have seen blogs before where they have reviewed items that they don't actually sell, but I don't know if they had to get permission first.

I feel like I've had a really lazy afternoon as I've been sat with my feet up on the sofa tapping away on the laptop. But I've actually loaded 33 items up on ebay, so I'm quite pleased with my little self.

Saucy, I'd have said I'd be willing to pay up to £7.50 for a homemade notebook before you asked if £7 was ok. I have to agree with whoever said that £6.99 somehow sounds more than £7, not sure why!
