Bex-time to overhaul my life

bex2002

I only got to post last nights update this morning as the forums were down last night.
I also forgot to add that i sold 7 items on ebay - most only went for 99p or not much more but it all adds up and it is a few more things that i have out of the house, i am going to make sure i use my 100 free listings every month and make use of free listings day too.


Todays tasks are:-

• Aim to do another 50 competitions
• Go to post office to post ebay items though i am still waiting for one buyer to pay so hope they do soon. I am also waiting for my partners Iphone to arrive as its due today between 9 and 9 so hope it arrives soon.
• think of ideas for dinner (i am trying to use up things in the freezer)
• Do some more GAP store asessments as i want to try to get some free meals when we are out and about in town. Also with retail eyes though i haven't done any MS's yet i hope to do some when i am recovered.
• NSD - dont think i will achieve this as i will have to pay for postage and bread but will include this.
• daily clicks.

Hi bex, another mystery shopper here. I noticed that you are trying to loose weight so maybe the GAP burger jobs aren't the right ones for you. Have you registered with other mystery shopping companies? Retail Eyes have a slightly healthier eat-out option and other companies do coffee shops rather than burgers. Check out the mystery shopping thread in the "up your income" section on here.

yes , the burger ones arnt too heathy for us - i want to try to regsiter with some more as we go into london alot to go to the theatre and we end up spending a small fortune when we are out . will have a look on the thread for some more, are there any that you reccomend? thanks.

The ones in the 2nd post on the mystery shopping thread are all recommended. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2600607 Register with as many as you can. I find that food is the worst paid mystery shopping, try doing clothes shops or electrical shops as well. Banks and cars seem to be the best paid but I'm not particularly comfortable with those jobs. I prefer high street shops.

thanks for that there seems to be a very long list so will work my way through there slowly and join up to some of them (will try all of them if i can).

To be honest it takes ages and some of them are slow to offer work to new shoppers but as soon as you get your first job and do it properly they tend to offer you more work easily. If you can do mystery shopping in London there should be loads of work available for you. Retail eyes and ESA always have loads of jobs. I personally don't like Retail Eyes but others are totally ok with them.

i have looked at retail eyes a few times and have not had many jobs near me - i should look more often and will try to make sure that my profile is completed fully as that my help with the jobs. will do some of the GAP ones just for the occasional treat. I will look up ESA and join them later. Thank you for your advice.
