    I have sold my first book on GM today (£7),
    Does anybody know how long cheques from GM take to come around by any chance??

    Thanks
    Froggy :rotfl:

    Well done on the GM sale -assume it was a heavy book with quite a bit of postage if you got £7? After you mark it as sent, it takes a week for the payment to clear into your account. You can then request for it to transferred into your nominated account which takes about another 5 days soooo, quick its not! If you dont request a transfer the money will just sit in your [ie GM's account].

    Yay :j to more pressies - I love it when birthdays get stretched out like that.....

    You have a PM sir :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hey Teapot :j

    Thanks for the info.. Book is not that heavy.. Postage should be £2/3 max so should make £4/5 on the book..

    There should be another 3/4 more presents to come in the next week as well!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

    Afternoon all :j

    Postage for the GM book ended up being £4.41, thats just plain shocking! I could not send it 2nd class as it was too heavy.. Anyway, I will still make £2.59 on it..:rotfl:
    I have put my expense claim through at work (£68) for my eye test and new glasses...That should take about 2 weeks to come through to me..;)
    No payment so far from Quidco or TCB this month, but hopefully it will come through quite soon...:o
    Had a couple of calls from recruitment agencies in the last couple of days... Things are progressing very slowly, and I am desperate to find something new, I don't really know how long I can last here :mad:..

    Am off to table tennis again tonight, not expecting to win, but still good to practice and get a bit fitter..

    Hope everybody is well?

    Holla Froggy,

    Sounds like a good week. A belated happy birthday to you. Well done on the table tennis and the beginning of what will, I'm sure, be a very profitable venture into internet entrepreneurship. Keep on top of the infernal recruitment agents - I think they're no better regardless of which area they practice their dark art in!

    Cheers,

    Billy

    Happy belated birthday! And well done on the table tennis.

    Having read your diary I think I may add another thing to my to do list - to look at books I could sell, I have soooo many and I won't read them again - need to do something, my bookcases are heaving as are the boxes under the desk and drawers under the bed....you get the picture! I have never been any good at selling stuff though (too lazy), but I will keep thinking about it.

    Hope you watched the Biggest Loser rather than Champions League the other day! I am guessing you are a Red if you were watching Tuesday....

    Good look with the recruitment agency! Fingers crossed you are inundated with offers soon!

    Thanks BabyB :p

    I would say yes its worth selling the books.. It might not fly off the shelf but going through GM makes it really easy...
    I am a red but not Man U (am a Gunners at heart)..and I ended up watching the Biggest Loser - can't believe that annoying woman is back!!
    I hope there will plenty of offers soon too! I can't wait!!
