    Mizmir....have you done VC Bet? I'm struggling to find any good odds and those that are, have no money in BF. Any tips on where to look? :D

    Leebarton - am reading all your book tips with great interest.....I really must explore amazon and shift some of my book mountain!
  • Well had a bit of a quiet week really, got some bits on eBay but I put them on for ten days and have realised it takes AGES for them to finish!
    The Amazon sales have slowed almost to a halt, too so I need to find a source of books to list - only got about 25 or so on there at the mo and a lot of them are in the 'everyone elses are going for 1p' department but hey, every little helps.
    Also been suffering a little with the cold that seems to be doing the rounds but never mind, just got a few sniffles left now and mrs saveme hasn't caught it, which was nice since she's got 3 weeks to go now and is getting bigger every day.
    Big up to WoA for another stonking newsletter - how do you find the time? I can barely keep up with me challenge stuff, let alone write about it as well, nice one!
    Cheers dudes, keep floggin' :D
  • Ill have 2 R&Rs to include in my total for this week - £5.94 from Tesco and 59p from Co-op.

    Pleased to see that my new Paypal total is just over £50, When my current Ebay items close and are paid for I should have enough to transfer £50 to my bank account just leaving enough for fees. Before I became a DFW I left money in my Paypal account in case I saw anything I wanted to buy on Ebay - now I am just selling.

    Thanks WOA for another great newsletter
  • I have sold my first Amazon book this week and will get £2.50 after paying for the postage. I have also swapped a cashback site voucher for £10 cash...so I can add £12.50. Very slow progress, and well below target, but hopefully next week I can bump things up by transferring £50 from Paypal. Hopefully listing on Ebay again tomorrow!

    Hi All,

    Everyone sounds like they've had a great week again, but things are slowing down a bit too - probably the bills have started to come in so not as many people ebaying / on amazon?

    Another great newsletter WOA.

    Just hoping for a good day with the ebay sales tomorrow and have put a few things to finish next weekend a few Valentine stuff. Found a Love book given to me by my ex today and that's already been put on ebay - thankfully he never signed it! :D

    Good luck all for next week.
