Not alot to update moneywise, have managed a few surveys, ebay is pants, 15 items listed and 3 bids, all end tomorrow but can't see me making more than a tenner.

I've found eBay to be a ral disappointment too. I'd hoped that Christmas traffic would help things pick up, but it doesn't seem it. I'm sure the change in postal costs has had a big impact - it certainly makes a difference to me, as a buyer and seller now. All the best Pennywise. Keep us posted on the job front!0 -
HI PWD i checked my yougov account and its taken just over 4 years to get to 50 points:rotfl:.
Going to nip into Tesco in the morning before work and see if i can grab some selection boxes (if ds is better) will do for presents for kids friends.
catslovelycats thankyou for popping onto my diary, ebay is being pants at the minute i can't upload any photographs and have tried everything i can think of but its just not happening:mad:.

)
I got some of the selection boxes on B1G2F Works out £1 a box which is good. I got 6 packs though which means there is one left over (Plus DS2 wont actually eat his yet) So ill have to help them out

Hi Penny and all your followers!!
Have just finished the third one hour survey for Mysurvey and it's equated to £15 of Paypal dosh - hurah. Glad you cracked Yougov but not surprised it took years, i suppose if you just keep going it gets there in the end.
Have three selection boxes now stashed away and load of chocolate coins that were on offer too.Weight: need to lose 71lbs - lost to date 0lbs

My Survey: £0.00

Morning Penny, just to let you know that Tesco seem to be doing a spend £40 this weekend and get a £5 voucher for next weekend. If it's there, DH just gone to try, then he'll do a £40 shop today and another tomorrow and will get some more selection boxes and DVDs etc if he needs to.
Want to get the Lion King dvd for Christmas for my lot and quite a lot of their toys looked discounted too.Weight: need to lose 71lbs - lost to date 0lbs

Evening, not really much to update.
Had a good night Friday pizza and then waaaaaaaaay to many drinks, really felt it saturday, but was a great night and havn't laughed so much ages.
Went to see the new Twilight film last night, Jacob is lush lush luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssh.
Not much change on the money front, managed to list a couple of items on ebay, still being stupid about uploading photos and takes forever, no bids yet but a few watchers.
Have recieved £4 pinecone payment and have ordered a £5 amazon voucher from nect&r.
Meter readings done this morning, £14.46 elec and £7.64 gas, can tell the nights are drawing in and the lights are on more.
Hope everyone had a good weekend.0 -
Morning Penny
The nights are certainly drawing in and the wind is changing direction too. I know its getting cooler when it hits my back door!!!!
You are doing well on your surveys. Yougov is only at 2000 for me so it will be a while before I will be cashing in. Listing on ebay ok for me sorry its not going smoothly for you.
Seriously though. It wont be long until Christmas. Hard to believe.
Take care

HI E.
Tell me about christmas, work is manic with the count down to christmas, nativity plays being organised, costume fittings, carol services to practice its mad, mad, mad and teachers are getting more and more stressed.
Recieved the £5 am&zon voucher from nect&r, another pinec*ne survey done so recieved another £4, sold 1 item on ebay for £3 and have more items ending this weekend, also managed to list a few more bits, trying to aim for 5 items a week at the minute which i think is doable.
Really need to get back to writing down all my spends as money just seems to be slipping through my fingersd and as for the grocery challenge this month, don't go there i've totally blown the budget.0 -
Hello Pennywise, just popping on to see how the last week has been for you? Hope work not too stressful xxMummytogirls x0
