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

nikki2804

Well a man from Scottish Hydro Electric came to the door and it looks like I can save £150 on my gas and electricity a year, which of course would go in my pot.

I'm scared to change though, never done it before. Off to do some research on Scottish Hydro Electric, dum de dum dum.

Afternoon all - sounds like Munchki's having a good day - hope one of the interviews pays off for you! x

I haven't done anything to make any money yet today (teaching for 2 hours this evening, so that's £56 after paying for the studio), but...

I had £100 not earmarked for anthing in particular - thanks to this challenge - that I threw at a small debt, and paid it off for good.

Means the cashback moneymaking may have to wait for a week, but it felt good to see that total drop by £100 in one go.

I have started writing my book ...woohoo!!! ....but already need some help!! :rotfl:

I need to do some research about 8-12 year old girls and boys.

So please if any of you know any 8-12 years please could you just tell me a bit about them, either by pm or on here whichever is easiest best for you. I don't need or want to know any personal or identifying info at all, but an age would be good too.

Here are a few pointers as to the kind of thing I need to find out:

What books do they enjoy reading?
Do they have any favourite games (from outside with firends, to on a Playstation)?
How do they enjoy spending their free time?
What do they spend their money on, e.g magazines (if so which ones), sweets etc?
Do they have any hobbies?
What are their favourite school subjects?
Any school projects which they have really enjoyed and wanted to know more about?
Favourite tv shows/films etc
Any topics they are passionate about, eg my boy LOVES volcanos (but he isonly 4 so a bit young for my research!)

I know that seems a huge list but I don't need answers from everybody on all questions but if there is anything you can help with I'd love to hear from you!

Going to try posting on the family board too!

Thanks all :beer:

Hi nixinixi I am a Beaver leader (6-8year olds)
They love playing football and collect football stickers
Horrid Henry Stories
Dinasours & Fossils

They also collect those pokemon type cards. (We do show and tell and they always seem to bring those)

Nikki - do it yourself, Martin has a good section to give you advice all baout doing it and don't forget to go through a cashback site at the moment npower are goving £130 for a dual fuel switch throuhg quidco, and a couple of others are at £120 too...... we only swapped 6 months ago but I am thinking now might be the time for another switch...it is one of the things on my to do list!!

MummyandPaige

Caseyface - your website is really good, must have taken you ages! How are you doing it, dropshipping? It must have taken you ages! Also, really cheeky, but can you get hold of bigger car seats? Won't need them for a month or two, but am going to need 2 oif them!

Could someone with an amazon account help me please?

I put books, dvds and the portable hard drive on amazon and it automatically puts in the postage. As the hard drive had various postage costs offered by different sellers, I didnt understand, but I dont understand a lot these days !

I put another item on yesterday and it appears to be showing free postage? I have tried to add it in my basket to see total cost but because I am the seller it wont let me !

I cant see how I amend the postage and it talks about my settings for shipping?? I cant find anything about that - amend it due to weight and stuff???

Its the second one for £6.99

Could someone try adding it to their basket and see what it says please?

Sorry

nixinixi

Rosie - thanks you! I will have a look into Pokemon cards.... I was hoping to hear dinasours and fossils too!!!:j I have a couple of Horrid Henry books here for me to read too....
