Hi all,
Having major probs setting up the new laptop so if I disappear for a few days its not that I've forgotten you!! Nice dinner last night & managed it all for £30 and wont be drinking or getting taxi tonight so will be cheaper prob...Am going to box stuff up for car boot as I go but wont actually do one for a while. No more money made but am going to get ingredients for Christmas cake today and prob make them tomorrow! Eeek...never made one before! Hope you all OK & money making? Welsh lassie where do you do mystery shops? I've been registered with retail eyes but they seem to have nowt here? Could you send me details as I'd love to do them!! I've got loads of books (about 50) listed on green metroplois & not a dicky bird...amazons not worth it as they all sell for 1p so may ebay them...anyway...off to hunt for christmas making bits although am conclusing that it is pro cheaper just to buy a present!

Well not off to that greater start. I've been manic since Friday so no chance to list anything on e-bay yet but that is the plan for later today.

I do have a couple of questions though, what exactly are we counting? You see I've finally triggered a payout on a surveys site so when the cheque comes do I count that? Also in terms of quidco earnings are you counting them now or when they get paid?

Welshlassie - You're in the same area as me. Are you the reason I can no longer get any mystery shops in the area???

oops a daisy - Please tell me you are joking? If not I think cancel the bid and go straight to the next bidder on the list :eek:

As for me, nothing yet as I'm still not sure what I should be counting but on the up side though I did find 13p on the pavment yesterday so I've added that to the total! :rotfl:

i have just included anything i have earned less anything it cost me. I havnt waited for the cash because quidco etc could be ages.

I normally offer my parents, and other non computer literates, to get their chrissie dvds etc from play, now i know about quidco i am finally going to benefit from this. ts not just bad things tat come back to bite you in the !!!! then!

I have a thread going on the Ebay threads on here. I have written to Ebay and the winning bidder but got no response. I have written to the second highest bidder ( not much less than the winner actually ) he has written back to say he is still interested so have a back up plan sorted if it all goes wrong. Im going to have a look around the house now for stuff to sell

edit - just been paid for it via paypal with an address in the UK - so I think it many be alright now. I am also sending by special delivery so it is insured. Thats £57.37 (thats what is left after cost of item, fees and postage ) to add to my total for this week

Hi all,
Fingers crossed that now all up & runing with this new laptop! Not much else done but book sold on green metropolis - at last! Cakes in the oven but I've got 2 more to do...forgot that only so many cakes will fit in the oven at once lol! Not the cheap option I had anticipated though!! Nowt else done. oops pleased you have a cunning plan - Nigeria not got a great reputation due to fraud but hopefully looks ok your end!
Re people joining now - feel free - see "rules" on first post but main rule is that you cant count anything accumilated prior to 28th Oct! So anything on quidco, whether tracked or not, prior to that date isnt counted! There has to be a cut off date to ensure that its fair & we're all playing on an even playing field! Basically though you can count any money made after that date whether by selling things, surveys, loyalty points etc...Clear as mud? Please feel free to pm me if people have objections/questions re the rules - at the end of the day just trying to be fair! ANyway...off to do boring house work! Catch up wth you all later. Big hugs

Yeap it'll be my fault :rotfl:

I've done a few, but will probably not be bookingf or any more for a while as I have a really busy few months coming up with work and family stuff so their all yours.

I've just had 2 of my bids cancelled on ebay as the buyer has bee NURD, which is probably just as well as it looks like if the stuf isn't exactly perfect in their eyes they neg, so looks like a good thing.
