    Found my extra £8 so have paid that to the CC. Also realised my balance is £10 less than I thought it was - woo hoo!

    Very exhausted again today.

    I'm currently trying to think of ways to make an extra payment to my CC today.

    I sold two items on ebay last night and they paid up straight away so very pleased with that. £6.98 to the pot. So far I think I am selling another 6 items which go out later this week and the weekend. Hopefully there will be some more bids too!

    I think I'm going to try and get some more books listed on amazon this week try and get some sales.

    My cashback has arrived in my account, so that's £62-odd, so that plus the £5 from my bingoport voucher plus a little bit of odd change have all been paid to my CC. A payment of £68.72, but the interest has been added, so the balance has only been reduced by £42. Still pleased though!

    Just redeemed £5 from a survey site, so will pay that when it lands in my account.

    I'm very close to a £25 redeem from another site, but I don't get surveys as often from that one so it will probably be a while before I get that.

    I sent a refund yesterday to an ebay buyer for an item which hadn't turned up. I told them just to let me know if it turned up and not to worry about paying again. It was over 1 month late so figured it must have gone missing.

    Guess what - it turned up today!! :mad: How's that for sod's law! I'm not too fussed as it was only 99p plus postage, but typical! The buyer offered to repay, but I said not to bother as I had already told them yesterday that I wasn't worried.

    Even more annoyingly, the buyer was happy to wait, but I decided they had waited long enough and so sent the refund.

    Oh well, they've left me lovely feedback and are very happy with their item so that's all good!

    Hiya Jwil

    :T:T:T on receiving cashback and grr!!! to refunding e-bay buyer and the parcel then turning up!

    Hope you have a bit of a relaxing weekend planned as i saw you posted about being tired in the week.

    When you do carboots jwil do you put prices on the items you're selling or just give the prices when asked? Not sure what the best way is...

    Sorry not been around much lately, feeling completely rundown - been reading when i can though x

    Thanks DDFW, we are about to go booting now, so not too relaxing a weekend!

    If we have lots of different things for the same price, we will put them all together with a sign by them saying 50p each or something, and if we want a specific price for something we will price it. Otherwise, we don't bother and just decide when someone asks.

    Hope you are feeling a bit better and have a relaxing weekend xx
