    Hi all

    Great newsletter WOA - many thanks for that!

    Been away since sunday with work so not much opportunity to earn money - though I did help out at dog training before I went and have sold a few more things on eBay over the last couple of days giving me an extra £49.98 altogether to add to my total. My week 3 target is £345 and I am past that :j but I am going to keep trying to make more as I am bound to have weeks where I can't meet my target! At least can get back to matched betting - have had no internet access for the past 3 days! :eek:

    I've sold 2 more items on ebay today. One was the £20 Argos vouchers, which went for £18.50 plus £1.50 postage and packing. Why would someone pay £20 for £20 worth of Argos vouchers? I don't understand, but I'm happy they sold. In fact, of all the items I've listed they had the most watchers and bids. Must get some more.

    My partner and I are determined to clear some of his old debts and this seems a brilliant way to motivate us!. I'd start at bronze and see how it goes...

    No, not too late. I've added you as a bronze Olympian. Remember to PM me your grand total every sunday.

    After selling 3 books in 3 days on amazon last week haven't sold any this week at all :mad:

    Just 1 ebay sale to add to my total this week so far and that was only £2.85 after fees etc. Will get mystery shopping money from TNS next week I hope so at least my total will go up a bit then.

    Have had a day off to do lots of odd jobs at home as we have lots of things to do after moving in, have worked really hard and think I'll do some ebay listings tonight as I've accumulated a few things to put on.

    One question - I've got about 4 Euros worth of euro cents, not sure where they came from as I've not been abroad since the euro came in but... Does anyone know anyway I can change this into british pounds so I can add it to my total and make use of it?
    Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000

    Mortgage as of 1st February 2024 - £159,134.98
    Overpayments to date - £79.62

    Probably best to find someone you know who is going to Euro zone and sell it to them.

    I've not sold anymore books and don't have time to list on Ebay at the moment. Have just discovered £8.xx sitting in my ciao account that I'd forgotten about. Transferred to my bank account so that's something to get the ball rolling - or it will be when it finally hits my bank account!

    Why doesn't the time go quicker when the auction is nearly finished?

    Got 2 things on, one has 8 watchers and 1 bid and the other one has 2 watchers no bids, so I'm hoping that they both sell today and I can then add more to total.

    Will know in about an hour :)

    Took a little gamble last week and bought 2 lots of the roald dahl cd sets from the book people. Total was £37.00 (free P&P)
    Anyway sold both on amazon in last couple of days making about £15 profit on them so quite chuffed with that. Spose if I could afford to buy 10 lots at £18 odd each and sold them I would make about £70 - could be worth a shot. Thinking.....
