From Trash to Cash: the river overflows

Jenna_Appleseed

hello thread

sounds like everyone's doing well?

I have a work placement (only taken 4 months to happen)
doing data entry for the council - adding details from the old, old (1800's!) books of burial records & grave purchases to a database.
It's only part time, two mornings a week & I'm not getting paid or anything...

Having to massively re-adjust atm, not sure how well I'll cope & I'm not used to early mornings :eek:

Here's a load of dribble...

Had a bailiff on my doorstep near the beginning of the month, claiming he'd be coming back with an locksmith to gain entry if I wasn't in, & wanting me to phone him to "pay the minimum" Lying !!!! :mad:

On the placement I've been having cups of coffeefrom a council mug that says "Jacobs Bailiffs: fair but firm" in comic sans lol :rotfl:


Sold a load of dvds that I was never going to get round to watching & some cds to the local market & dvd&games shop - got £18 for them.

and another lot to musicmagpie (checked their prices first), should be getting £14-£15 from them, just waiting for the cheque still.
+cashback from Topcashback:T

Had some little bits of luck from the selling fairy; got my box of books out to weigh them and revise my prices, needed to login to Greenmetropolis because my listings were expiring - decided to check them & add more. Found one book that I thought had been on there but hadn't, as it was a US edition w/ a stuck-over UK barcode. It had been hanging around for ages on other sites but sold almost straight away after going on greenmetropolis after adding it with extra notes on which edition it was.

I'd had trouble with my musicmagpie order, browser crashed and the list kept disapearing when I logged in again - when I got the form from them there were two dvds on it that I thought I'd removed and one I'd added that was missing. Stuck the stray one back on amazon and it sold over night for £3.00 (+p&p & -amazon fees) - not bad for something I'd got from Poundland:cool:

Also grabbed one of the last Doctor Who End Of Time figures off the ultra reduced bargin shelf in Tescos, only to realise once I got home it was the one I'd already got but in better condition - the other one had big reduced price stickers over the plastic that left marks. Managed to sell the old one just in time before getting kicked off from selling toys because my overall sales aren't good enough.

Four/five (just had another dvd sale) amazon sales since the beginning of September but no new feedback :mad:

If anyone was thinking of taking advantage of Smiths buy one, get one half price offer on annuals (unless that's just local) the unofficial Stars of Twilight one's an restricted item on amazon & limited to pre-approved sellers only.

Bampton Fair tomorrow *excited*
*must not spend all my money*

Hi Jenna! Good stuff about the selling I love the coffee mug thing, that made me laugh. Are you into Dr Who then? I get all emotional watching David Tennant lol, was expecting to like the new series better and still think it's filmed in a much cooler way...but Matt Smith... I dunno.
Have a nice holiday Elly, are you going away or just relaxing?
Just wanted to share the feedback I got from the Australian bride, she sounds absolutely lovely

"AMAZING etsy wonderfulness! Conversing with littleclaypeople has been joyful and our cake topper is the best cake topper in the entire universe! Big big big recommendations!!!! Thanks Paula!!!"

Christmas Cake baking tomorrow as have a chance to exhibit some and sell on a commission basis so will give that a go too, seriously thinking about demos and have made a few good contacts over the last couple of days, will catch up tomorrorw as am heading to my kip - been surviving on 4 or 5 hrs sleep a night the last four/five days so am "buckled" - will read back tomorrow - woohoo an extra hour in my bed.

Oh Skint that's brilliant, well done! Love that they contacted you as they only want good quality ace!
Forgot to say, I got my letter from the mental health people, they said I may have to wait six months! I can't wait that long, aaargh. Going to see GP to find out about maybe trying Strattera, which is non-controlled and might be an acceptable starting point. Let's hope eh xx
