    Hi All

    Fishface - hope you are feeling better - I must go to the dentist - I have a couple of chipped teeth, but am not even brave enough to make an appointment.

    Anyway- on a money making front
    the 2 vouchers I had listed on ebay have not sold - so I may just spend them instead (£5 off in boots) not sure why mine didn't sell as others were - but I am new to ebay.

    matched betting- made some money - but computer has crashed so am not sure how much. We have had to buy a new hard drive

    but I do have a mystery shop for the weekend so that will be another £10

    On the betting front please do be careful. I am happy to try and help with matched betting - or use the matched betting section of the forum. However the bingo and casino sites need caution - the money is not guarenteed and often you have to deposit more to get the cash out

    Well done by the way :D

    edit - ok just noticed it was 'only' 102 items - still massive

  • Am I too late to join in with this.

    I have some stuff to list on Ebay tomorrow and maybe I will be lucky with the sales of that. I don't agree with gambling so matched betting is out and I have no credit cards so can't buy on line to get money back. I do the opinion bar but don't get asked very often and when I do I seem not to fall into the category they want and I get 10p for my effort.

    I have tried to get mystery shopping but no luck so far. I have only registered with one company and they contacted me a lot over the summer but I could not do anything. Now I could they have only given me one chance and no docs turned up so I assume that they had someone else.

    I will try and make £50 in November from Ebay and if I think of another way to make money I will include this too. May do a carboot as our school is having one in November - hopefully inside.

    Please can I join. I've been given a silvercross coach built pram and with a bit of a clean up I think I can ebay it. I'm also clearing the house like mad prior to selling and so have loads of stuff to ebay.

    Great challenge.

    I ebayed a clock last week and really have to get back into ebaying more often, I have planty of stuff to get rid of.
    I have had an odd way of earning money, well gettign a discount anyway. I go to a Yoga school and they asked some of us to go in for a photo shoot and as a result I can either choose free lessons or a discount on my pass. The 'price' I had to pay was getting my hair and makeup done and sitting in a yoga studio for a few hours eating cashew nuts and chocolate and doing yoga whilst getting sprayed with water to make it look like I was sweating. you may see my a** on a billboard soon LOL
    Last week I also decluttered an office, cleaned, ironed, and chased debts for someone :)
    So, the good old fashioned barter is still alive and well, in fact I have worked with another local company on an exchange of services basis rather than cash changing hands.

    hi Miss penny Pincher
    Adjusted my figures to only count money made since Saturday.
    matched betting profits 109.89
    cashback sites 60.00
    pigsback voucher 10.00
    total 179.89

    Hope everyone has had a good week.
    Just sorted out some books to list on amazon so may have some luck with those.Not tried e bay yet but don't have a clue what would sell. Got a bunch of beatrix potter figurines and brambly hedge figurines but would imagine e bay is swamped with stuff like that.
