I've made £19 by selling a book on the Amazon Market Place.
I've also blagged two free bottles of lucozade by completing a survey (I think I'm expected to evaluate the stuff and fill out another survey once I've drunk it).
I've completed several other surveys, but not yet made enough to cash anything out.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm happy with it that way round and the little bill example makes a lot of sense for doing it. Makes my challenge a good stretching one as well so should really motivate me this month.

Hi
Just posted couple of items on ebay collection only so hopefully they will sell not had much luck with ebay as end up loosing money as charge to little for postage. Anyone know the rules for posting small items as i keep getting charged for small packet yet the item is small enough to class as large letter !
off the mark as transfered £5 from paypal for ebay which forgot to do last month.

Hi - for it to class as a large letter it has to be quite thin - a DVD in a jiffy bag will class as a large letter but not a lot thicker than that. Be careful how you pack things up, I have received things from ebay which would easily have gone as a large letter but the seller has used too much wrapping and its ended up costing them more. If you're sure that your item will go as a large letter and the post office tries to charge you for a parcel, ask them to check. HTH

Hi :hello:

I'm starting early cos it's all going in the same pot which is my little tin hidden away in my bedroom

So at the minute I have £34 from second income, also selling the rabbit hutch tomo, someone coming to collect it - another £35.

At the weekend I'll have another £32.50 to add from second income, will add that at the weekend though Edited to add: No I won't, I'll add it now cos otherwise it comes to £69 and cos I'm immature I can't leave it as that :rotfl:

Oh, away at the weekend on a girls weekend so will update when I'm back, if I'm sober enough

At the post office there should be a letter measurer with a "large letter" slot in it. If your packet goes through the slot then it counts as a large letter - so if you think the cashier has made a mistake then get them to double-check for you.

They never use the letter checker just ask me to put it on he scales the items have been wrapped in the little black bags you can buy of ebay couple of items have been a baby cap and a babys top ! Maybe I need to buy big envelops to put them in !

So far I've done a lot better than I expected. Today I got £4 from the last ebay payments and I'm still waiting for a few more to pay. And I managed to save £11 by washing my hair before going to the hairdressers rather than letting them do it. So I'm £25 into my £170 target. My brother is finally doing overtime at work so hopefully I might get some of the £400 he owes me (though Idoubt it).
