    Good start to yesterday I got x2 packets of Finish Dishwasher tablets off a friend who doesn't need them anymore ..so I will add £5 for this as they are usually around about £6 ish for the same amount of tablets depending on where I buy them from .

    Also I was going to treat myself to some cheap ugg style boots in a local shop for £15 in the sale ...However managed to pick similar ones up WITH tags in a charity shop for only £4.50 so I saved £10.50

    To top my good day off I haven't visited Lightspeed for ages to realize it has now changed to Mysurveys so I did another survey and realized I still had points to collect from the past and managed to bag a £10 amazon voucher :D

    So grand total from first day of £25.50 :D

    Just sorting through old clothes now so going to be ebaying today so hopefully will have some more pennies to add in a few weeks!!

    Woop woop! I'm off the mark - just logged into my Paypal a/c (which I haven't used in aaaages) to find I have 51p sitting there!

    Off to check other old online accounts now...

    Well, as you can see from my siggy (if I did it right) I have already beaten my £10 a day for Feb challenge :)

    I'm still pushing for more though because I'm aiming to hit the £10 a day for a year total and know that it'll be a struggle!!

    I was going through my filing cabinet over the weekend to find details of my old Natwest student/graduate account because I know there's a balance left in there so I want to close it and get the cash (only about £10) but I found a letter from my employer about some free shares I was given last year. Had totally forgotten about these so thought I'd cash them and the money came through this morning ... £504.20 :)

    I take absolutely everything off, and keep it on a spreadsheet so that the ebay and paypal fees are pre-calculated in the columns and I can just drag them down. I also take off postage and envelope costs to get me down to an actual profit. Sometimes its depressing (I sold a book and after all fees, postage and packaging ended up with 6p!!! But thats my own fault - should try other places for book sales!)

    I'm that much of an excel geek I even build in the figure I am aiming for each month, a formula to calculate how far I am off it - in £ and %
    I sound really ebay obsessed and sad now...

    That is a great idea!! I'm going to see if I can make one too. It's not obsessive at all - - it's amazing when you really calculate everything, you realise that it's not always true profit
    Cabot (0%) left to pay £2455 let the overpayments commence! :D
