  • Well I always knew I was average and there I was slap bang in the middle of the names!!
    The only thing I have been doing is a bit of matched betting and a couple of bits on ebay, it all seems to be slowing down people have got to put their money towards the festivities I guess.
    Had a look in the charity shops but didn't find anything of any interest, maybe there will be after xmas when the unwanted gifts get there!

    My current total is £330.19 and some items finishing this Friday for my last count - maybe I will end up at £335 but prob no more than that.

    Am going to attempt a last push before my finishing date of 17th Dec.....cheap listing days on ebay Wed & Thurs so will try and make use of it.

    A last bash at matched betting (which I haven't touched in weeks) is also on the cards methinks. Have also got my first pigsback vouchers and due a cheque soon from GP.

    Fingers crossed and go for it everyone.

    Oh yea....found 5p in the carpark yesterday....howzat for a total booster? :D
  • Thanks, will wait before I list my stuff for the cheap days!
    Should be able to draw some money from ibetx now have emailed them verification details.Don't like to add it before I have the cash!

    Good Morning - I am back with thinking cap on this morning (complete with full blown cold, swollen glands and hacking cough).

    I am going to place some matched bets tonight. I haven't been put off but have learnt my lesson. I put a £10 M&S voucher on ebay on Sun and it's already going for £4.69!! I've got another voucher to go up aswell but I'll wait until tomorrow and list it cheaply!!

    I need to quadruple my total in 6 days mmmmmmm........

    I'm going to get my thinking cap on.....

  • Been away on holiday so I'm lagging behind :(

    Just listed a couple more things on Ebay but I'm a little nervous about trying this matched betting thing.

    Thanks for the ebay tip - I was about to put a couple of items on tonight might wait till tomorrow now. Can anyone tell me if you can write listing one day then start it on the cheap listing day? will it count as cheap listing?? I have time to write tonight but want to start listing on cheap day is this possible??

    Greetings all.....

    Firstly I should clarify that the cheap listing is for BIN's only and NOT auctions. Didn't think of that before.

    Yes, you can write now and list later, but you need Turbo Lister for that or you'll get charged. TL is brilliant - I'd be lost without it, and it's free to download and use. You can write ads and then just keep them as templates and keep re-using them. Saves SOOO much time and is much simpler to use than ebay's ad writing thingy.

    I've had a disaster of my own today...

    I'm going to France for 2 weeks over Christmas to my Mum's, a real family gathering. Anyway my friend had agreed to look after my cat for the 2 weeks, either staying here or popping in to feed him etc... We had a falling out last night and she said she wouldn't look after him now! :(

    After many tears because all the catteries I called were full my Dad came to the rescue and found somewhere near him... The only catch is it's going to cost me £110! Looks like it will have to come out of my total at the moment, I am going to make a concerted effort to build it up as much as possible in the next couple of weeks.

    Who-hoo - a book I got for £0.50 in a charity shop just sold on Amazon for £12.50 - once I've taken off £3 for postage, that's £9.00 pure profit - so unexpected!
