Blimey thats a great result :j
If you were nearer me you could get me started off.

It averages £3.49 per item Beanie which is great. I think its easy for me as I use turbo lister and as I search quite a lot I know how to word my listings. Now I just have to hope that none go missing in the post as I am only sending the more expensive items recorded to save some money

Awww I would Beanie

On step forward, one back. So spends today because I sent some ebay parcels but that is payment neutral as I have been payed for them. So classing it as a NSD. However a step back, when changing my wiper blades on my car I noticed a chip and a tiny crack. Its tiny, on the passengers side and near to the edge, but :mad: I phoned autoglass and they want £89 (+vat) to fix it or £300 (+vat) to get a new windscreen. Now this may seem a bit silly but I have marked the crack at its end points and I am going to leave it for a week and see what happens. If the worse comes to the worse I will pay for a repair on payday with my car saves but I hope it may last out until we get the harsh winter. I just wish the world will let me get back on my feet before throwing random things at me :rotfl:

I have also transfered £50 from my paypal account. After paying for the parcels above I have £55.36 in my account. I have more parcels to send on Monday but I will need petrol soon.... So I will send all my parcels, fill my car up, maybe order £10 from avon (have a 5 for £5 offer) and allow myself a £10 buffer. everything else is straight to Argos :T With any hope it will be <£250!!

Mum gets paid soon so I am hoping to get back the £60 she owes me then. If I do I will take £20 from that (meaning I have a £30 buffer for petrol) and then the remaining to Argos. I am determind to clear that card on payday :rotfl:

I am going to list a few more things on TL ready to list after payday to earn a bit more. I am also phoning the CC Monday to close it :j

Your insurance may well cover windscreens without it being a claim IYSWIM?
Check it out.

Mum did say that but I don't really want to go through them as I have already had a claim put through for her car that time. I would rather pay the £89 myself iyswim. I am hoping it will last a few months (until I pay off Argos ) but we shall see

A windscreen claim doesn't usually count as a claim, Autoglass pride themselves on that! I'd double check with your insurance.

Hmmm, I may have to dig out my insurance documents and have a look.

Spends day today, £1 on a grabbit dvd for one of the kids for christmas. Thats one out of four done for £3 with two gifts

Well mine has gone to 2 maybe 3 people to 7 maybe 8 people. Plus there are 7 birthdays between now and the end of Januay to sort :eek: So I need to get moving or time will run out.... Two birthday and two xmas gifts are done now so its not too bad :T

Gemmzie

Mines gone up loads too, but at least we can do the cheeky couple-present now!

:rotfl: Gem, great idea! Wish it was that easy for me...

Feel like :wall: today!
* Haven't recieved my paypal transfer and I have £40 still in my paypal account.
* Sent more ebay parcels today costing £11.xx.
* After all payments go out of my debit card I have £21.xx left for petrol. Leaving no buffers/Avon cash until my paypal money hits which is no problems.

Now for the bad stuff!
* I ordered 3 reduced gifts on Play before checking my accounts, £7.xx. However I don't have to worry about the payment bouncing because it had saved my CC number :mad: So that now has a -tive balance on it, it was clear! That now needs clearing when the paypal money hits.
* My computer mouse has died, it works but the scroll wheel has worn out so will not work. In principle its fine but its damn annoying! I have checked out Tesco/Asda and Tesco sell one for £3 so I will be purchasing that when I pick up Mum and get petrol. I have about £5 in my purse so thats easily covered but leaves me pennyless until paypal hits, not a problem but slightly scary as I have about 20days until payday.
* I have locked myself out of my Halifax account because I have lost all my account information so I can't see whats in there.
* Unless I am reading my policy wrong my insurace doesn't cover windscreens
* The cat is now overdue his injections, apparently we had a postcard about it last month.

However positive are
* Looking into opening a Coop/Lloyds account so I can use that to hold onto my car saves etc. It will mean less of a wait to recieve funds than the 3-7days I have to wait for the Halifax.
* If I am very careful with my money next month I can clear my part of Argos no problems.
* Looking at new jobs but need to hook my printer back up in order to print my cv/covering letters
