nickybo ahh lovely shopping for baby stuff , do you know the sex yet ?
dont forget next xmas sale always has lots of the smaller sized stuff
and then you can flog it on ebay when you have finished
next sleepsuits sell well i've always found

Nope, we don't know the sex, we wanted a surprise again. I already have lots of neutral baby outfits that were my son's. Some of them he never even wore as he was so big! I was going to buy just one special 1st outift to put the baby in at the hospital, but then wait and see what sex it is before I buy anything else. If it's a boy we've got bags and bags of clothes, if it's a girl then I will be buying everything pink and flowery!

Good idea about the Next sale, I really like the Next baby clothes. We had quite a few of the sleepsuits with the fold-over mitts as my son used to scratch himself alot. Actually, once this baby has had it's use out of the clothes, I've got stacks of Next baby things that can go on Ebay!


I did another order with Superdrug last night. I am doing my brother-in-law and big nephew (17) a Lynx hamper each. They have both asked for Lynx so I am buying the items individually and getting a nice box to put them in. I'll get more for the money rather than buying the gift sets, even on 3 for 2. Superdrug have the body washes for £1.50 each compared with nearly £3 in most places. The sprays are £2 rather than £3 too.
I got them each three body washes and two sprays, so £8.50 each. I added a couple of navy blue flannels and then some baby bits to take it over £20 as they have a code for 15% off when you spend £20. I got the lot for just over £18, free delivery still too. Oh, and I paid with Ebay earnings in Paypal so all money neutral .


I'm loving Christmas shopping online this year! I can shop whenever I like, I don't have to try and carry it all and I can use my Ebay profit to pay for the lot. Thanks to everyone here for all the motivation. Without the challenges I never would have listed so much on Ebay, or got as many vouchers just incase I have to go to a 'real' shop.

Thanks savvybunny - I was getting mixed up with fb. I was still reading all the great news stories about ebay and put that instead.

Does anyone use Mutualpoints?
I have done my first cash in since they added paypal as an option. I requested it on the 23rd sep and just noticed that it is shown as processed on the 17th oct. But no sign of it in my account yet. Does it take a while before it is added?

Thanks

Hi
I sold £30 of stuff on ebay yesterday, 5 parcels posted, still waiting on payment for the others.
I'm at hospital with dad for the next 2 days, hopefully he'll have his next chemo this week if they thinks he's over the infection.
Well done on all the redeems etc, I just haven't time to do reviews or cha at the moment and am only just keeping up with surveys

Evening all - it's like a ghost town on here tonight lol!!

managed £3.35 today so i am happy with that but haven't done the review I planned so tomorrows total will be poor, used to use maxi but hadn't for ages so i logged back in and had 285 points sat waiting for me so gonna give it another go and see where it gets me even if I just do the 5 point polls.

Coming down with a cold just in time for my 2 days off so not impressed, plan for tomorrow is some housework and write loads of reviews want a final push before I cash out.

Hope you are all well xx

Sorry I have not been around much today. My friend came round with her little un, and was here about 5 hours, so we kind of got to be ladies who lunch while the kids played and we set the world to rights.

I have done my required few pounds on Cha, and review balances went up a bit, but that was about it.

Another busy one tomorrow, as the pup has got to go to the vet for a health check up to get him covered by the insurance, and we are having him microchipped too. I bet he will hate that.
