    Have you added your name on the official £10-a-day-in-November thread, tattycath? There's lots of ideas on there on how to rustle up your £10 a day.

    I need the money as well, hence the high target - I did well in October so I'm hoping November works out just as well. :)

    Ooh didn't know about that...must go and check it out-thanks for the tip peaceandfreedom.

    I do pigsback click throughs and when i order stuff out of my catalogue i go through pigsback. So far this year I've had about £80 of vouchers, :D mainly marks and spencers.
    right off to check challenge thread out.

    Well I thought I'd better walk the walk as well as talking the talk - so I now have 30 new items on ebay :j

    I've relisted a few things too, but not all as I might do some more at the weekend.

    5 items sold this evening, so I've got another £14 to add to my total :T

    That's brilliant :j
    I've only managed 5 more items listed so far, but i have just made a chilli and also managed to edit some photos for more listings. I must have well over 500 items to list when i get stuff sorted out.
    I did pop over to the november £10 a day and joined up-so i guess i'm committed now. :D
    just going to do my click throughs.

    You and tattycath have my full permission to berate me at will if I don't have 3 items listed by this time tomorrow.

    Well done Tattycath! I thought I'd get up and try and get a couple of things on before I went to work but I've been distracted so that's not happening now. All my buyers have paid up from yesterday though, so that's all in the post today! :T

    Get listing peaceandfreedom - you know you want to :D (Well, actually if you are anything like me you don't want to but know you should!)

    I was back to work today, still feeling a bit rough though.

    There was some good news though, my employer has decided against the pay cut proposals :j That's good news for me and everyone else.

    The bad news is they are still cutting the redundancy package. My department should be safe until April 2012, but after that they are looking at staff cuts of 20%. So I've still got that years grace but if I do get made redundant I won't get much redundancy pay. I'm not going to worry about it now though.

    The even worse news is that my employer is no longer going to fund a group that we work very closely with. That is really bad news, not just on a personal level as we are very close to our colleagues, but on a business level as they do a huge amount of fantastic work for us. It is a real loss. They are looking at getting some funding from elsewhere but they won't be doing the same work for us.

    Thanks tattycath, and well done on your listings! I've done absolutely nothing today :o I will get some more done tomorrow or Friday!

    I do have one item being bid on at the moment though!

    I've also just redeemed £5 from a survey site and spent all evening doing other surveys so hopefully some more dosh on the way soon! I'll add the £5 to my total, and I shall have another £5 amazon voucher from bingoport tomorrow too, so very pleased with that!

    Well, I have some minor progress report to report. I have listed 3 items on amazon. I began to do ebay but side-tracked. I have also offered a (new) item to a friend - I'm hoping she'll want it - if not, I'll list it on amazon. I've offered her a really good price for it.

    I have also booked a table at a local table-top sale, which is happening later on in the month. And myself and younger daughter have decided to finally do a car boot sale this weekend. Lots to do!
