    Not done anything in agesssssssssss!!!

    Need motivation, but struggling at moment , this pregnancy lark is hard work, after 9 - 5 job i sleep and at weekends I clean :(

    Have managed to sort out lots of car boot stuff and ebay stuff, so plan is to do car boot last sunday of month as got step son next weekend!! Hurry up free ebay weekend so I can list, not got alot but 10 -15 items at 99p will all help.

    Plus side is grabbing bargains for baby at the moment, just bought a triple sleeper bed for £87 delivered and cot bed for £30 (Bargains!!) Really liking gumtree at the mo! :j

    Fingers crossed one big hit at ebay and car boot should see me through to target!

    Good luck all and feel free to kick me up the bum.

    And my excuse for overspend on shopping is cravings (hehe)

    If you are listing at 99p then you shouldn't need to wait for free listings as eBay gives you 100 free listings a month for auctions starting at that price. This only applies to private sellers though.

    OMG! JUST WON £354.67 JACKPOT on a b!ngo site! :j:j:j:j:j:j target smashed!

    I actually won smaller amounts than this earlier. Went to look at my account, as I had won full house of 52p, to see how much more I needed to bet to get my bonus for something else, and noticed this Jackpot win, thought hey? Went and checked my account, I had missed winning while checking my account!

    2nd time I have missed a bingo win! LOL

    It was a free £5 play too! Just waiting to see if I can withdraw. If I can, the money will come in very handy! Owe taxman and nursery. (amongst others, but they are the priority right now!)

    I actually won in total £359.66, but have to leave some in the account for a bonus play or something. But that's fine!

    I worked a few hours of overtime this evening (it's double time on Sundays), so that will be approx £75 after deductions.
    I have listed 20 items on eBay. I hope that I can get enough sale to hit my target for this month.
    I sold an old Kindle case that was gathering dust to a colleague at work and got £5 for it.
    Quidco has just paid £9.20.

    Still nothing else in but my payrise finally came through - though I only got half of it i think cos it was effective from 1st August and payday was today, but still, very happy :)
    Won't count it in my total obv but it's always nice lol. We don't get paid overtime if we work through lunches etc, but we have recently been able to take card payments and receive commission on this so hopefully at the end of this quarter I should have over £100 since ive been working super-hard! It's quite nice as they work out how much tax etc will be taken off and pay extra in so the amount you actually get paid is what you've earned IYSWIM - so will be doing my absolute utmost to get rewarded handsomely - my goal is £150 all of which will go off a lovely (or not so lovely lol) debt:A

    Ive been very lazy this month, but finally got the urge to do some ebaying last night, so 23 items listed, i have gone mostly for buy it nows so will have to hope they sell. have about 7 on auction, all auctions already have watchers and 1 already has a 9.99 bid & 9 watchers!!

    also done a crowd0logy survey this morning:)

    I think because the kids are off school, and OH is also having a month off work, ive gone into holiday mode too:o
