    I have one non payer on ebay again. I have emailed him asking to pay asap. If I dont hear anything from them, I will list as a none payer. Its always the ones that dont spend much!

    Anyway off to work. see you all later.

    I think its catching, sold 11/23 things on Sunday, all bar 1 has paid, - made £33 after all fees and postage etc (haven't counted the non payer), sounds daft but I've got a gut feeling there not going to pay.

    It was a pair of lace gloves, started them at 99p - £1.50 postage, (to cover myself ), the brand new on card - price tag £4.99. thought that gives an idea how much to bid to - my winning bidder is £6.17 + postage!

    Good news - got £45 of Love to shop vouchers from toonie, think there £30 or £45 to come, but there coming so not complaining.

    Been and booked the pub for my 40th bday, - did a list got 35 people for a Sunday lunch - just got to get the invites etc out.

    Another package from Vistaprint - same here the one bag didn't turn out as brilliantly, but the photo wasn't 100% good, without sounding daft, I find if you use their designs they seem to come out better than photos. Got wack of things for party bags, and some spares ready for xmas.

    Did 4 orders last night, - managed to get the baseball caps with photos - and then some banners for school, ready for car boot, summer fete, intrided as I have a box came in the post, haven't had chance to look at it yet.. will be back later xx

  • :j Hi everyone, sorry not been about much. Got so much going on lately.

    Ds1 has been referred to the mental health department, they suspect he has adhd and mild aspergers. So been very stressed to say the least.

    I am doing very well on Ebay got 7 items ending in the next day or so, 3 with bids on all the rest have atleast 4+ watchers eeyore make your own rug has 7 watchers and 20kg of paraffin wax has 8 on. Hoping they both sell. Just sold a bt home hub phone for £25 plus postage very pleased with that.

    I am getting loads of surveys from my survey and have redeemed 3 times in 4 weeks all £10 amazon vouchers which come through within the hour. Have put another redeem in with Tluna and only redeemed on the 3rd.

    SurveyNetwork i have given up on i don't qualify for anything! lol

    Hope you're all well x

    It's been quiet on here this afternoon! What have you all been up to?

    Susie gets a prize for the most money found and for being honest, and I will sort out another prize for the person with the most road kill on the 28th.

    I had a lovely amount from quidco yesterday - £84.81. £80 of that was from Orange for my contract phone. I now have only £19.61 tracked :( That's not so good - it's going to be quiet on there until the Car Insurance in April.

    Thanks for the link to the book Savvy - I don't know what I was doing wrong, but I got a downloaded version. I agree, we should set up a Thrifty Gifty Book Club. You can be in charge. I only like chick lit though. ;)

    Chel with Toluna - if you go to My Surveys section everyday - all the surveys that you qualify for are there. You also need to do all the polls where you get money for. If you make your own opinions and polls you get money for that too. People rate them, and then you return the favour! That's basically it.

    I haven't done any challenges on Woowoo - are they that bad? As soon as I run out of points - it's only happened twice though, I give up. Not been doing too well today - Aspella's been cheating and winning them all ;)

    There was something else I was supposed to mention, but Ive forgotten, It's my age. LOL. I'll probably remember in a bit.

    OOh I know - BHS has lots of girls hair accessories all reduced to 50p. There were some lovely things, kids tiaras, glow in the dark stickers, and little teddies etc. Would be great for kids party bags, or for putting away for Christmas stockings.

    Nearly had the biggest road kill ever, a lady infront of me pulled out a tissue and out fell £50 from her pocket :eek: I tried to call her but she was not listening, ended up trying to run to catch her whilst pushing double pram and dragging a poor 3 year old along, she jumped out of her skin when i tapped her shoulder bless her, she thought she had put the money in her purse after going to post office, my good deed for the day :)

    What a stroke of luck it was you who picked it up and not some no gooder........... well done you :) made me laugh thinking you were sprinting with the double buggy.......... :money:
