    Ddraig - Have a lovely holiday and well done on your totals.

    Mum2one - Hope the carboot goes Ok today. It's absolutely tipping down here - So I hope it's indoors.

    Gemini - Well done on your carboot hun. Brilliant result. I hope your craft fair goes well too.

    Poohs - Brilliant news about ebay - I hope get a few more bids though. ;)

    Knit - thanks for the tip on Viva, but as Michelle said, it might be because you didn't complete them in the first place - but it certainly worth a try :D

    Scatty - you can do it - Just gor for it!!!

    Nothing new in my inbox today - I do have 13 items ending on ebay today, so I'll be busy there. Two sold last night, and I relisted three. I'll let you know how they do when they all finish later, they are spread throughout the day.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Pink - surprisingly when I've listed things as worn once, they usually do better than expected - I'm always shocked how well, to tell the truth.

    Saying that - all clothes seem to be doing well at the moment. I sold something yesterday, it should have cost £16 but got it off the grabbit for £4. I hated it when it came, but it meant it would cost £4 in busfare into the city centre to take it back, so I didn't. I put in on ebay at £4 to get my money back, that's all!!! Well, it went for £18 plus p+p. :eek:

    yayyy I sold all but 2 of my ebay items, which is fab, will re list those 2 later and also list a few more bits I have.

    I have done £1.80 so far in surveys today, so just need 70 p more to reach my target for the day.

    I just bought a new table and chairs, and also hvign my guttering done at weekend, so every penny is going towards there two things this month.

    If you join this site, and your postcode is displayed, you have the chance of winning £10 minimum. The money rolls over everyday if no-one claims too.

    http://www.freepostcodelottery.com There is a competion to see who can make the most referals at the moment - but this is NOT a referal link. I've been on this for about a month, and once the postcode was a few streets away. I can't guarantee you will win, but there's always a chance. :)

    You get an email everyday, but it's just a reminder to check and see if your post code has been drawn. The money comes from the adverts shown, but I never read them as it only takes two seconds to check. :)

    Free card on the Grabbit.

    Funky pigeon - and use code FUNKYFREE - supposed to be used for fathers day cards, but I've done it on any card. If you have more than one account, do it again. ;)

    You might as well tell us a referral link hon. Might be lucky for you after sharing with us all.

    Hi guys
    Hope everyone is doing well. I have decided to give myself a kick up the backside today, I have to get on with things and stop moping around!
    I have attacked the first of my wardrobes, I have been ruthless and tried everything on, if it doesn't fit properly or doesn't look nice then its out (I have far too many clothes and shoes anyway!) I have 30 odd items already and still have 3 more wardrobes and 2 chest of drawers to go :o
    I am back to work tomorrow and missed a colleagues birthday last week so have decided to bake my first birthday cake this afternoon as well as a bit of a sorry I wasn't there, I will post a pic if it works out ok (fingers crossed!)
    Just been checking all my quidco purchases and none of my last 4 sainsbury's orders have tracked, I just did another order and that hasn't tracked either, I have had to submit queries for all of them, is anyone else having problems?
    I had a look on OP and done one 10p survey, not much but its a start the website was unbelieveable slow as well!
    xxxx
    Aiming to completely pay off the credit card in 2012!

    I have just had one 75p survey all day :( Have checked and rechecked on and off all day. And the tennis is rained off lol, dont know if it will come on later but grand prix will be on in an hour.

    Been spending the time today showing grandson 2 how to make a bag for him self. Eldest one made one yesterday (I put some pics on my blog) so his brother wanted to do one too (was instructed to take a photo of that one too and will put it on blog tomorrow).

    Have two items on Eb tonight but neither has a bid yet. One of them days I think lol.

    Had a rubbish day today, the boys were up at 5:50am this morning so really tired. Not done much all day. Managed a review on dy and some rates that's it.

    The rain is still coming down here so think it is going to be a cosy afternoon in still with the grand prix. Hopefully some rain there too could make it interesting.

    Village fair quet but as it is a monthly thing there is always next month and I have noticed people are beginning to think about Christmas. The nice thing was that i had two people come back for things they had seen or bought previously.

    Nothing on now unless I do another boot sale till next month so I will have to work hard on the surveys.
