Giggles_Fairy

Wow 24 items, well done kec I get bored after writing the descriptions for 2 haha I have got a little pile of things that need putting on but I am too tired now to take advantage of the free listing!

Add my car boot money to my longleat fund and have added some more from my tips piggy bank and now have my £250 spends yay we go 4 weeks today so very happy about that. Going to start saving for another few days Way which *may* be happening end of may. The eBay funds once I have it all posted and cleared into bank
Account by the end of this week will be a really good start for this fund

I never did find anything broken to out on eBay for the challenge. however I have got about 30 belts/scarves that no one tool an interest in at car
Boot today. Managed to get rid of every item of clothing I had by offering what was left on rail
For £2, a girl took the womens and the lad she was with took the mens, I was glad to see the back of it and they were thrilled with the bargain! But couldn't find a bulk user for the belts/scarves. So think I will just try them on a 99p job lot on eBay and see what happens. Will
Photograph on tues and try list tues. If they don't sell they are off to the charity shop!

Kec those cakes look great, well done on the ebay too

Hope you all enjoyed your car boot sales today and well done on getting out of bed early lol

I have done a bit of everything apart from housework lol, done ebay, and sorted out some of my blog and set up an ecommerce page of fb for selling, made a bit jewellery and done some gardening too :j

surveys have been bad for me too, so will try again tomorrow

not bothered with the tesco stuff, too tight of a budget to spend on more expensive stuff to get vouchers, although I know i would get it back just dont have the spare cash

Quick weekend again and i am starting to feel a cold coming on, my daughter was ill last week so i know where it has come from!!!

Oh no - I hope you don't come down with it too badly Susie. You put your feet up now - you deserve it.

Giggles - that was a fantastic result hun. I usually come back with a few thing unsold at carboots too - but a few belts isn't bad. Mine is usually half a car full, and I divert to the tip on the way home. :rotfl:

Hi everybody, hope you are all well

Well done on the carboots and the ebay listing! I sorted throught the cupboard tonight to see what I could find, lots of baby clothes new with tags! They should do well, and some sleeping bags, there is also a brand new two man tent in there too. If nothing else I managed to clear enough space to fit half of the Christmas/Birthday presents in there thank goodness.

Ordered some more free notebooks yesterday for my OU work, and did a quick tesco shop but finding it hard to fit in everything at the moment, this money making is a full time job isn't it

Think we may all have a break from it today and go to the soft play centre and I will get on with snapping pictures of items for ebay.

Have a lovely day ladies (and gent!) xx

Erm I may be incredibly naive/stupid... but who is the gent? I feel bad as I've always said ladies!!

Good morning everyone! Well done on your carboots! I have never in my life been to a carboot or sold at one so I think that needs to change this summer.

I've found myself reading the Tesco thread too. I agree Elysia, £300 is just greedy and actions like that will just spoil it for everyone. Planning on swinging by T on the way home to pick up a few bargains - see what the thread tells me to get lol!!

Kec I hope things are oh, sounds like you're going through a rough time with things at work. Have a good cry, let it all out, then blow your nose and it makes you feel a little better (my Nan always said that!).

I went yesterday and I got the wine, some fabric softner, cheese all more expensive, so will get another dtd voucher. But some are taking the pi$$. I left a bottle of wine in my friends fridge for her getting in from work, she was very happy. Put the other two in my box if gifts for xmas or birthdays

No other money making. Guy got his times and dates mixed up for the house, so I am seeing it today. Taking DD with me

Just thought i would pop in and say hello. I've just read back all of this years thread over the past few weeks. I've been meaning to pop in for a few weeks but i always seem to have an ill child or something going on to distract me.

I have similar money making aims to you guys. I want to spend as little as possible on presents so i can overpay on my mortgage while the rates are low. DH thwarts my aims though by spending on his car, and blew all our savings the other week upgrading to a new one.

I am always filling in surveys, writing reviews on both the main review sites, and looking for loops. It is always nice to have a source of friendly competition to spur you on, so i was hoping i could chat with you ladies.

January i earned £23.88 from these sources, Feb was £143.83 which included £50 from DY, and March is so far looking good as i am at £34 on DY again, and also just redeemed £40 on 0n3p0ll. It certainly all helps.

Hello and welcome cha97michelle. It's usually a lot busier on here but most of the regulars are stalking the tesco 'double the difference' thread and at the speed that moves there not much chance to look and post anywhere else!!!!

Well done with your moneymaking so far :T

Hey there Michelle, welcome to the thread. Hey Tran not seen you in a while......... as you say we are all in trying to make money off of Mr T. I have two DTD's for 30.00 go towards shopping

cha97michelle

Thanks for the welcome tranmere. I am a bit scared by the speed of that thread. I'd love to make something but i can't keep up with it and i am home all day. I don't know how others do. I also can't really see the point in buying something you wouldn't use or give to someone. Maybe just me.
