***New*** Thrifty Gifty Money Making for Christmas and all occasions 2011***

emmi_bush

Hello all
Hope all of you with Ebay selling get lots of bids and all the carboot sales went well. I got my cheque through from DY this week so was very pleased with that. Got to start again so I can save up for Christmas! Had my 30th last weekend and got lots of Boots vouchers so can treat myself to some posh toiletries which I'll enjoy Hope everyone is well.

I always think weekends are pants for surveys, the people who run them obviously don't work weekends!!!
Haven't done any surveys yet today, but i am about to go and check my e- mails while the kids are watching stuart little.
Everyone is shattered, been by the sea at a car boot sale, it was huge and the kids had so much fresh air they are chilling out watching this film, quietly, wow.
Was very chuffed as i managed to get a batman car for my nephew for a fiver, it looks like it would have cost a bomb at one time, he will love it. So with that and his 3 books, i have spent 12.00, which is not a lot for us lately.

I hope you had a great birthday Emmi. Belated congratulations hun.

Scatty - lovely bargain in the car. I'm sure he'll love it.

Rufus - it is one of those days. I have had to relist loads on ebay, and have put then all on a 99p now. I have cleared about £43 though, with a couple still to go, so I'm happy.

Kec - I hope your cake turns out nicely.

Claire - I hope you manage to get a good nights sleep tonight.

Michelle - I'm not after referalls - I just hope someone on here wins.

No surveys for me yet but I did order three funky pigeon cards so saved £8.97

Thanks Elysia. Just to add that the email reminders are opt-in and can be stopped instantly by clicking the unsubscribe link. Thanks for the mention - and sorry for the ads. Without them the site wouldn't work though ;-)

Hello - I like the email - it reminds me to check and I realise about the ads, so it's fine.

Welcome to MSE. :beer:

I should make my £2.50 today as 2 items have just sold on Ebay One of them I had relisted 5 times and no interest, this time it gets 4 bids!
Thanks for the funkypigeon code Elysia, I love their cards, especially when I get them for free! I've just ordered DH a 10th wedding anniversary card for August. I thought it would only work for the smallest card, but I chanced it and got the A5 one for free - usually £2.99

So sorry Nicky - It was for a £2.99 card, so if you get the bigger one - it'll knock £2.99 off. I wouldn't go mad, but you can use it multiple times. (I have three accounts so made one on each)

Well done on your sales too.

Hi everyone, well done to all who are money making this weekend, well done on your ebay bids too!

Haven't listed anything on ebay yet, I think that may happen next weekend after I have a good rummage and package thing up ready to send as I hate that part the most lol.

Thanks for spotting the funky grabbit Elysia, have ordered a couple of cards that I have been meaning to get for a while so this has saved me a little bit. In fact there are a few other bits I wanted to get for father's day from there too so may well kill two birds with one stone so to speak.

I think I know what to do with Amazon now, you search for the book you want to sell andclick the I have one to sell button? If you put a book up for sale can you remove it from sale anytime you want? I would like to sell on some books but they are all unread and if they don't sell they may make good presents/

Yes you can remove it off Amazon at anytime. I like Amazon for that reason and also you know before completing your listing exactly how much you will be getting if it sells with fees etc taken off. Just have to remember to take your postage into account with that figure to make sure it is worth while selling.

My cake turned out ok, icing not great but I made my own when the book said buy ready made, so pleased enough for a first attempt!
