    Happy New Year.

    I've started my ebay bag - so far got 2 prs trs, suit and a skirt, thats just one part of the bedroom. Got to decluuter my room and dd's so sure there be more stuff. Got bag full of dd's summer clothes from last yr, I usually do them end of month - hopefully anyone going on hol early or wants a bargain, usually bulk it up, so 3 prs shorts 99p, most of her summer stuff is new, never got to wear it, but even 99p all helps as they say xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    I had that this morning Legend, went to Reward Tv, I didnt put my details in, just came out. Went in to Survey Network again and it had the invitation to join Opinion World so filled that in, got the email where you verify your email address, clicked on it and it started asking questions so was filling them in, got to the bit where it asks what town you live in and that was it, wouldnt go any further. Tried putting different towns in incase it didnt like my one lol but even putting London in it still came back and asked me to do it again.

    I have kept the email and will try again later in the week, may be their site is down or something.

    Same thing happened to me Rufus with Opinion World! They still sent me an email though saying I had joined so very confused! lol Mind you I am starting to get confused about what I am joined up to aswell! Thank God I have put it all in a spreadsheet otherwise I would be lost!

    Hello!! Happy New Year to you all :)

    I have found this thread through your sister thread! and although I havent read all the posts I just wanted to let you know that I am here and would love to join in the fun please! With regards to your January challenge, I have a Christmas savings account which I am paying £10 a week into (this is divided as £5 for me and £5 for OH). First payment has gone in today.

    I already have a sealed part as part of the £365 in 365 days challenge so will use that alongside this and finally I have seen some bits and bobs lying round for ebay so today I am going to make an effort to get these things together ready for listing over the next couple of days!

    Thanks xxx

    Happy New Year Everyone. Hope you all had a good start to the New Year.

    This morning I have put Christmas away and taken Grandchildren home after they spent last night here. Now very tired so going to do very little for a bit before I start the long job of sorting out everything so I can find a proper place for my craft stuff which is all pushed away in odd spaces.

    Then I can start the money making

    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

    Please could I join on here, found this thread october last year but still managed to make £170 to put towards christmas presents etc. Would really love to be money neutral this year, helps out no end, and I love a challenge!

    Have decided one of my resolutions for this year is to start making jewellery, firstly for friends birthdays, mothers day etc but with a bit of practice I hope to start selling some towards the end of the year, any tips as to how I could go about this would be great. Many thanks.

    Hi Piglet i am a jewellery maker, i have just been doing it for myself and friends but i am going to start trying to sell it this year, if you pm me with any questions i will try and help you, i have just started a blog and plan to do beginner things on there but the other great place is youtube for tutorials, there are monthly mags too from smiths which are ok, or your local library will have some books ;-)
