    Hi

    Am listing like mad on ebay - need to update my sig amount as it's gone down quite a bit due to npb but I have got final listing fees back and have relisted the item. Hoping for a good selling week!

    No other changes though...

    Wow I am 31p ahead of target! Quite surprised actually as I've had a slow couple of weeks. Thanks to FDF for doing this extra work.

    Oops haven't been online all day yet (well briefly this morning to put some books online but no time for MSE ;) ) and I seem to be a bit late with my total :o but it's £523.88 up to the end of week 11 :j

    Listed the books I'd planned to on amazon on Friday night and some more on amazon and gm this morning so I'm up to date with books etc.

    Sorted vouchers and put 1 lot I won't use on ebay on 1 day listing just now. Have the ones I put on on 3 day listing on Thursday finishing later which is going ok so far and cross stitch kit is up to £3.20 with 1 week today and I'm pleased with that (and some watchers).

    I've researched and photographed 3 lots of things I want to sell that are a bit more unusual (well for me to sell). Think I'll keep them for a cheap listing day though as i'm in no hurry.

    Sold a book on amazon overnight on Friday which had been on since the new year (and relisted) and another book tonight so that's saved my over a week gap on Amazon :j

    Here's to a good week 12, hopefully I'll get a bit of mystery shopping money this week so that'll help boost my target :money:

    Not sure if anyone here signed onto the Lloyds Save the change scheme. Anyway, realised this finishes on Sunday (as far as them matching what you save goes). I still have a fair bit to go to £50 saved this month so have being buying e-books on ebay for 0.01 plus free delivery! This means for each book, 99p will go into my savings account and they should match me 99p!

    I've been doing Save the change but I've only got about £2.50 because they didn't set my account up properly til the middle of February, by which time I was overdrawn (authorised) and they don't do it if you are overdrawn... And I'm usually overdrawn or nearly about halfway through the month so I didn't do very well there!

    We got about £10 back for February and will probably be about the same for march, we haven't been going out of our way though (apart from ending petrol in 1p each time we fill up - we don't have a spare £50 to pay into a saving account at the moment sadly otherwise I might have tried harder, I haven't missed the £25 that has been changed across but I would have missed £100.

    This thread's pretty quiet again today - hope that means everyone's working hard at money making. Posted 1 book and last night's ebay sale at lunch so i'm off the mark for this week but the other was just over a weight bracket so I'm going to take it home and repackage it as it was just over the 1kg and so it's £4.74 wheras if I can just get it under the 1kg it would be £2.12 - that's a huge gap - :eek: I hate royal mail so much sometimes :mad: :mad:

    Vouchers ending on ebay tonight have 2 watchers but no bidders but tend to find you get last minute bidders on these so fingers crossed.


    I also put some of my No7 holiday sun stuff for sale at work so hoping something comes of that (and frees a bit of space for me)

    Tonight I'm going to photograph the rest of the things I have for ebay and maybe do descriptions ready for next cheap listing day, try and find my old phone for envirofone and do a pinecone survey I can't do here cos I haven't got the right software at work - not long til hometime ;)

    Just had some good news (about time)! My boss just rang and said that as long as there is cover at the site, I can get a part-time job (since we're struggling so much with the bills and OH's new job doesn't pay very much) :j :j :j :j

    So, I'll have to start looking around.......... I'm so happy!
