    £19.07 for three items sold on Ebay, some old walking shoes I was going to throw and put on just in case, fetched most of this. It still surprises me just what people buy. Off to update my signature!

    Im sorry to disgust you but they were probably bought by somebody who had a shoe fetish....! :rotfl: 'Well worn old' shoes normally sell pretty well!!

    LMAO!!! Thanks for the laugh I needed it!

    I've been lurking on here for ages, used to be in every month (with my old username :) ). Got my butt into action this morning and signed up for a few freebies from quidco and done a few surveys. Just waiting for stuff to pay out at the mo!:j

    Please can i join?
    I would like to set my challenge at £5 a day for the whole year, and then average this out, as i tend to do things in spurts... this would equate to £1,825 for the year!

    My plan is to focus on the following, all of which i have been doing for friends and family, but would like to start putting more time and effort into:
    - Sell hand made beaded jewellery
    - Sell hand made beads
    - Sell hand made fimo items for dolls houses
    - Sell hand made wedding tiaras
    - Revive old clothes and sell on

    These items i will list on sites such as ebay, ebid, etsy and folksy.

    - Cake making
    - avon

    We are getting married in october so i really need to save as much as possible.

    Any thoughts and/or advice would be much appreciated. :)

    Just noticed that quidco do surveys now. 70p each, lasts about 20 minutes. a good way to build up the pennies.
