  • Morning. Added another £18.50 from ebay sales yesterday. Still 46 items listed, so fingers crossed for a bit more. No wins yet on Costa but who knows!
  • Morning all!!!!

    Excellent day yesterday.

    First and foremost I did my usual mystery shops for a weekend going to a local city to carry them out. This earned me £28 but more to the point one of the shops was having to place a bet and it won!!! £22 on top of the normal fee and reinbursements. So there £50 on my total nicely.

    Really chuffed so far at hitting £350 so early in the challenge and having reached the final stage for quext, close to payouts on others and doing my mystery shopping as keenely as ever things are looking up

    Few mystery shops to do today before the big game........COME ON LADS. SAFC

    well my ebay stuff is going well 157.50 so far cant believe it someone paid £101.50 for my links with 1 charm i suspect however that its the gift reciept they have paid for as they have recently purchased lots of cheap ones and charms from hong kong .the lucky knickers charm went for £38 retails at £48 .radley didnt do as well but i got what i expected considering a pen burst in it.just my scooby doo stuff to go. and lots of packing but i bought my brown paper from poundland yestrday as i have lots of boxes from christmas i can use fingers crossed the buyers leave good feedback going to list 7 items today
    nikki do you have a picture of the next stuff in case i see it at a boot sale ,you can have first dibs and if not i will ebay it.
    skint the doors would only be good at booty if you are not transporting them far given weight.
    my main thing i did last year was local bargain ebay finder lots of stuff bought for 99p particularly pictures doesnt matter if they are horrible at booty its the frames tht people are after.also rocking horses,and little first bikes as they dont take up too much room but you'll get £10 for them.then at the bootys i picked up small items to sell on ebay which i never got round to so i have a cupboard to clear lol
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x
  • hello!

    ive started listing my handmade things on folksy so fingers crossed they will sell! I had a funny letter yesterday about the old house i rented and the deposit that wasnt protected and it looks like they still owe me money so fingers crossed that they do! but its another can of worms and hassle because they are in a big pile of doggy doo,it could mean going back to court :(

    OH is doing overtime today so hopefully next payday he will stop asking me to lend him money as i never get it back! :rotfl: the car hunt is well and truly under way, whatever happens to the car be it getting fixed or written off, were going to sell it, its so un-economical for us having a 2.2 so were going for a 1.6 at the most as its too much in petrol and insurance, so we think we can save £80 a month just on the car side of things.

    hope everyone has a good day!
    ;)

    Morning gang,

    Nothing further to report just yet.

    Had a christmas credit card bill through yesterday for £150 :eek:
    So will be chipping away at that!
    Also recently switched current accounts and now my credit card company are trying to say that they couldnt take out the direct debit and will be charging me £50 for the priviledge :mad:!!!!
    Have checked this out with both my old and new bank and they say they havent even tried....so a complaint letter is winging it's way to them. £50 indeed........:(
