  • I was going to say, I would be happy if any cashback tracked on vista :rotfl: OI think regardless they are very cheap for ordering personalised products, just hope the quality is as good as elsewhere.

    Well done on your perfume selling Elysia, sometimes I find it's best to put items on at 99p, because people will bid close to the store price for new items. Having said that I have had two item's do worse than expected but generally it evens out.

    Right s&s done, going to photo a few items and list before going on bp, and off to dooU whilst bp-ing. Super multi-tasking there!

    savvy I have only ordered once (mug, pen, stickers and rubber stamp). the only thing I have looked at is the mug and the quality looked OK. the main plus for that order was that it was for ds2's friend who has a really unusual name so can't get personalised items. so for that reason that order was worth every penny - he will be so chuffed. hopefully the other orders will be as good.

    Well I feel rubbish today - suffering with my sinuses, feel really heady and tired. Have managed to sell ds DS lite which is faulty for £36 on ebay which I am really chuffed with - especially as I am doing the ebay challenge again this month, but want to aim for £100 rather than £50 so this is a good start! Got my new dining table and chairs coming this week so have just listed the old one on ebay, may try gumtree as well as really need it gone!
    Have got lots of other stuff to ebay, but haven't had the time just recently have been running my dad around as he is still on crutches and not able to drive. Hopefully I will get back onto it in the next week or so...

    Nicky sorry to hear about your auntie. Hugs xxx

    Hi all
    Hope everyone's OK - Nicky hope the weekend hasn't been too awful for you and yours :(
    Have spent the day cooking then cleaning up my kitchen - marginally preferable to what you have been clearing up claireylulu! ;)
    Yesterday I finally gave DooYoo a good look and wrote my first review, something I'd been meaning to do for ages, so thanks to you all for the inspiration I needed to actually get on with it. If anyone wants to do that circle thing with me I'd be happy to read and rate your reviews (not entirely sure how it all works but I'm sure I'll suss it eventually)! I'm PlaysNicely on there, by the way - I shall look out for your reviews! Most of the things I'd like to review (books mainly) aren't on there, so I've sent in a list of suggested products in the hope that they get put up so I can burble about them a bit. What kinds of things do you all generally review?
    Hope you all have a great evening
    :)

  • Son finally in bed asleep not sure for how long. Haven't got what I wanted to do today done but oh well that's having kids. They always come first.

    Habibiboo if you go to Elysia's circle of friends she has most of us on hers from here. Her name is the same as here as is mine. Will take a look at your review in a min.

    Foxy - Well done on persevering expecially when you feel poorly. You're doing really well. The £36 for a broken Ds is a brilliant result. We have two here we don't use much, if at all. I'd like to put them on, but thought they wouldn't sell now that the 3D one comes out soon. I might just try anyway. :)

    Savvy - I love the juicy tubes review. I've always wanted to try them, do you know anywhere that sells them cheap/er?

    Your Vista things will be great, I'm sure. The quality isn't top notch, but you'll be very pleased with them for the price you paid. :)

    I've just read some fantastic reviews ladies. Well done. You all should be very proud of yourselves. Now you need to keep it up. Try and do three or four during the week, one everyday if you are super eager. You'll be collecting another £20 Amazon in no time. :D

    I do need to admit though, that I have only posted one review, but I have written another in Word, while I'm waiting for the product suggestion - so I have completed the mini challenge too! :)

    All of you who were doing ebay for the challenge - how's things going? Did you place any listings? I need to sort a few things out over the next few days and I'll list them mid-week.

    Hiya Habibiboo - I've found you on DooU, and you Muffin. I've added you both to my circle. If you click on me, and add me to your circle, you will be able to see everyone who I am following. Everyone is from this thread. If you add us all, we will be able to rate you back. I'm heading back over to read your reviews now. :)

    Electricals gets the most miles, but I review anything really. I've just done L'occitane Shower Oil. I love it.

    Elysia Ds lites are selling really well at the moment - get them listed! In good condition they are selling for around £60! We bought ds one for £50 from ebay, so for a faulty one we are really chuffed with £36!
    I've got 9 things listed currently and lots more to list so slowly slowly this week - if I don't fall asleep that is!
