    Just entered a load of my Nan's CD's on Music Magpie so got about £19 for that but I'm halving whatever I get with my brother. Won't add it on til the cheque comes through though. My bedroom is full of boxes of her stuff which I'm hoping to do a car boot sale with next week, which again I'll be splitting with my brother. I feel awful that I'm selling her stuff to make money. It makes me feel greedy and horrible, but it's not that I'm greedy. It would just get thrown out otherwise, and yeah it does sound greedy actually but my half of the money would go towards my house deposit, which I think my Nan would be proud of me for.

    Anyway, I also just found some cash hidden away in my money box :) so I shall pop that into the bank on monday. It's about £55 I think

    fredula dont feel bad about selling your grans stuff i'm sure she would be proud of your enterprise .i think you should see it as sharing her with other people who like the same stuff she liked rather than them collecting dust in the attic .

  • Hello,

    I am going to start of my earnings by recycling my old phone(s). I going to use Mazuma as they have the best reviews, just wanted to check here first if any one had any better commendations, the one on the first page is a couple of quid less for my phone (are they better then Mazumba in terms of service?)

    thank you

    I used envirophone, they were very good/quick. You can also get some cashback using them through TopCashBack. I would use Mazuma though if they offer more money!

    OK, I'd like to join.

    I'm starting with....
    92p saved by buying two books on offer at 2 for £7, returning them and getting the full price back (£7.92!)
    £10.80 in my terramundi pot (retrieved with a knife!!!)
    £1.26 in my purse

    So a grand opening total of £12.98. It could have been much higher as last month as I won some money on online bingo, did a clothing bag drop too but that's all gone so we're starting afresh and making 100% commitment from here on in. I'm only going to count money that I can physically put in my terramundi pot.

    Made £2.50 on-line selling today.

    Going to a party this afternoon so probably won't make anymore money today.

    Oh and £2.00 DTD.

    CEX offered me the most of both of my phones although I don't think their ratings were so good so with one I sold it to simply drop with royal mail and the other one I stuck on ebay because it was only worth £3 lol
