    Ok, I have a confession to make - the reason that I'm so useless at free bingo is because every time i win i end up spending it on proper games - I have however just won £30 on one!! so do i class it as 'free bingo' winnings or not?!?!?!?

    what do you sell on amazon? i have quite a few books that i never read for a course had wondered about putting them on amazon as too good for a car boot and not sure if they would sell on ebay,but not sure of fees etc and if its worth it! i know some one else said after postage and fees etc they dont get much.
    hi i bought books from amazon for my nursing course and when i relisted them which if purchased from amazon is very easy i got full amount back ,less postage .its easy to check just go enter the isbn and it comes up with the price they are currently selling at .it really does depend on amazon the type of books and condition ,ps mine were almost unread like yours ,but i still passed 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

    Oh no, that's very unlucky! :o I felt like that on Co$ta but my luck changed. My luck on Jackpot Joy was very good, I got £15 cashback tracked for a £10 deposit and they have free daily spins. I sent off for a £50 cheque today :j

    What about surveys to make up your loss, or do you do these already? I followed someones advice on here re Onepoll and am quite surprised to see how many surveys are available if you log in once or twice a day.

    im withy city bingo and costa and have had nothing - infact down on money!! i am joined to all manner of survey sites - not much luck with them either as im never suitable

    thanks - well i have put some on green metropolis now - got some more ot put on too so we shall see if any sell - its hard as some of my books are heavy and green metropolis are standard rates for the book but i doubt i shall ever read those books! just a shame i spend over £250 on them

  • Hello, just a quick word from down here on the farm.

    Enquiring about having overseas students has been very productive.:T Have been offered five dates for kids staying already, but these don't start until the end of March:(. I am going to scout around shops to compare prices of food and start baking to fill the freezer. Don't want to skimp too much on quality but i want to be careful about how much i spend.

    Will also find out next week about an American student/s staying, but does not sound too hopeful :(.

    Don't know if this will be useful to anyone if you are good at drawing/painting cards, look at Phoenix trading. On their web site you can not only sell their products but you can submit pictures to see if they are suitable to be printed into cards. They go into great detail about what they do and do not want so you know before hand if you stuff is any good. Think fairies, cupcakes, pretty little animals.
