MonstersMummy

Evening all.
Not been about much today, haven't really done much either!!
Just been asked to end another listing on ebay early, might just tell them no again but umming and arring over it. Last time I did that I only got £10.50, they are offering me £25 for a £40 wardrobe thats sat at £17 with 2 days to go.....decisions decisions!!!!
Have a cd to post for amazon tomorrow and one of ebay listings is being collected.
Also now dont have to re-list my cotbed that didn't sell on Sun as have found out a close friend is expecting her 4th and she needs one so will sell to her instead!! Wont be for a while though, told her I'd keep hold of it til nearer the time as dont want to tempt fate, it's taken her 2 years to get this far!!!!
Anyways, glad to hear others are having a good day.

Many happy returns to WOA! Hope you've had a good one!! :beer:

Well I finally made a start! I am proud to announce the first £24.90 from mystery shopping that is for this. I have done some more shops so I will get some more coming in soon, but then I will have to take away what I spent. Last time someone else brought the meal for me so I get it all! I have to wait for my CRB check for a care job I applied for but i am hoping to get some money in from that, and I rang up about another evening job today!

HAd another ebay sale today - £5.50 I wanted more cos it's £14 in Boots and it was a brand new unwanted Xmas pressie which I could've probably took back, but never mind!

I've got a mystery shop planned for tomorrow, another one for Friday and another for 2 Feb (in my local supermarket, yay!) so happy with the way it's goign so far!

Now, if only my amazon sales would start taking off!

Cleared another £21.09 matched betting which brings my total to £189.21. Another £40.79 needed to hit this week's target. I know I will get £25 at the weekend helping with dog training so I need at least another £15 - off to find another bookie with a good offer!

Well done to everyone on progress so far! :T

I got a late xmas present today, a £10 Waterstones voucher so I'll be counting that, and just listed an old laptop on Ebay. The exact same one sold a couple of days ago for £90+ so fingers crossed.

A question for you: BF & me ordered some new wardrobes and we were going to split the cost, BF realised that I was struggling because of my CC debt (determined to be clear in 6 months) so he has paid my share. Can I count my saving towards the challenge? £500!!

p.s. Happy birthday WoA :beer:

As you can see from my sig I have been busy signing up to cashback sites and survey sites. Most of my remaining ebay bits don't finish until sunday. Still selling the odd book on amazon and my odeon tickets are trickiling in so they are on ebay too - have sold 2 already. Had problem today with the fax/telephone I sold on ebay - buyer says it doesn't work!! It did 2 days before it left here so I'm not sure what the problem is - I have been dreading something like this happening. Where do I stand??? I know I am being honest but how do I know they are??? I have told them to re-check it all and if it still doesn't work then they will have to return it - I did add that if it works when it gets here then I will be contacting ebay and invoicing them for my fees and postage costs. What do others think?? I have been selling on ebay for a while now and never had this problem.
Anyway up and at it.
Well done everyone - can't wait for our grand total.

Hope you've had a great birthday Wings of Ambition :bdaycake:

Annie you've given me a mission with all those sites in your sig, I have a spreadsheet of all the money I've earnt with all the survey, ptc etc sites I do but haven't updated it for ages and I've been neglecting the ptc sites recently so I'm going to go to each one - update my spreadsheet and then work really hard on them all again and make some more money/vouchers.

Hope you get your ebay problem sorted - people on the ebay thread are really helpful with problems like this.

all your totals are making mine look feeble. have some stuf listed on ebay thats not looking to bad and also 70 items listed on amazon so hopefully a few more will sell soon.
joined a few more cashback sites but very impressed with cashback rewards opened the account 3days ago and already have over £8. i only want to add them though when i get the cheques.
cant do any match betting yet as i only want to use money that i made from here and at the moment its helping us get through this month without the overdraft or credit card. husband calculated outgoings wrong so i now have £60 to get me through the month and it his birthday in 2 weeks. money from this challenge is now going to his birthday present paying for a holiday and going for a meal for his birthday. hopefully can start match betting soon though as i think we will have enough now.
