Well done on the shop fairy! Will you send me a link via pm? I love little shops like that

I've had a rough few days been up and down like a yoyo so i've been struggling a little. But i've done the 5 a day (although i have an awful memory and if I don't post straight away I forget )

So will put ones on I can remember!
* cashback paid to me from quidco
*won a christmas cake on a raffle that i paid 20 p for
*usual surveys
*some new survey invites from companies I signed up to last week!
*listed a few more 99p bits on ebay (mostly unsold items but hey ho)

And I will try and get another 5 for today, hoping to put some more stuff on ebay too as it's free listing

Hope everyone has a lovely saturday!

Aw Rosie i hate it when surveys do that :mad: i have started now to contact them if this happens and i have got some credits by letting them know (depending on which site tbh) so thats worth keeping in mind!

As for your mini challenge - I know you have been doing some sorting out in that loft of yours this week right? And isn't that more than you would have done without the challenge??? So no being hard on yourself for that in Fairy's house.......;)

I just about made my own challenge by the skin of my teeth so i think i will keep going with mine - i want to have 10 things listed by next Friday so why don't you join me with doing some more of yours too

Aesop it sounds like you have your own challenge to deal with there - must be hard somedays! Deep breaths needed there i think :think:

and hugs for everyone that needs one! :grouphug:

Thanks to everyone for all my well dones on getting my folksy shop open I am quite pleased with myself i have to say . I am going to try and list one item a day on there if i can inbetween everything else :rotfl:

Aesop - i'm glad you are getting on well with maxi - i am close to getting another voucher from them too the vids def help a lot!

I haven't got much done again today - i must get myself back up and at it!! I get out of the habit too easily!

I did get 86 things listed on ebay - most of these were relisted from last time but i did get some new ones on there too I just realised the 100 items thing is separate from the 99p listings so technically i can list 200 items! I do have lots of 99p type items to list so i think i may concentrate on these tomorrow!

wow I listed 21 items on ebay and thought that was tought going :rotfl:i'm obviously just slow

Ok I seem to be a day late in posting my things every day lol so will get yesterdays on now and today's on later (promise promise)

1. Had a clean out of kids room. Found a few items suitable for charity shop, some for ebay and some for the local toy library.
2. had a nsd :T
3. cleaned house (tidy house, tidy mind and all that)
4. Had a day out for free
5. Surveys. Getting :mad: more and more by the day as always screened out of one particular one i'm sure it's a scam :mad:

Today:

1. I plan on making bread so I can keep shopping costs down this week
2. Making cakes/biscuits for same reason
3. found a friend who can lend me a radiator (electric plug in one) for free next weekend as we are off to a caravan! :T this has saved me money as I was going to buy one!
4. Having A NSD again today :T
5. surveys again!! (best not get screened out again, my laptop will one day get thrown because of this :rotfl:)

Things I have been doing for myself over the week: Nice relaxing baths, letting DH take kids out for the day so I can have some 'me' time. Been reading, the 'power of now' as recommended by a dr, very inspirational and lots of thought provoking quotes in there :A

I will let you all know if I don't get my list done. But I think i can just about manage those few things

I keep forgetting this challenge:o

Yesterday, I used the internet to look for a job. I made fridge forage soup which I had for dinner and boxed up 3 portions for the freezer. Started photographing stuff for ebay but camera batteries died so had to recharge them. I had an NSD.

Today. finished photographing stuff which will be ebayed, will be washing up in a while and preparing my onion to go into the slow cooker with the lamb shank for dinner tonight - to be served with tinned spuds as I have no other spuds unless you count the packet of smash:o Will be having another NSD.

Earlier this week, I used some of my Ebay takings to reduce my business overdraft to bring it back into the agreed terms thus saving myself £20 a month in charges.
