    Yay, free listing days on week end. I spent so long listing my items last wk and i only have two bids. I think it must be down to people being on holiday.

    At least i can just relist the items in a few minutes rather than spending the whole day writing descriptions.

    Finally managed to work out my total for March - £156.37. My worst month yet, but still not going to complain.

    Our new mortgage comes in this month so that's an individual saving of £50 per month just for me (I've not counted the husband's savings, just my own) Am going to sort out my credit cards too so am hoping to pay one off so that will be £70 a month I won't be paying out. :)

    Am I reading it right in that it's another free listings this weekend? I'm going to concentrate on getting things on ebay now. I have mountains of stuff that I could put on there - I've got one pile that's slowly going down and just seeing the extra space we would have in the house is enough to spur me on.

    I'm just not getting enough time to do all the surveys. I've just had an invite for Clicks Research - are these worth doing?

    Smunchkinp - So sorry to hear your news.

    skyeceilo - congrats on the new arrival, hope you're managing to get some sleep. ;)

    I've done nothing and made nothing since end of feb, mum got ill and later passed away so my money thoughts were pushed to one side.

    Just starting to get back into some sort of normality and routine, so should start picking up again and saving the pennies to make the pounds.

    Oh no, so sorry for your loss.

    £20 expenses from Dogsit pre-visits. The actual sits themselves are starting soon, so should be able to add a lot more to the pot!

    Snap! Its so boring, I'm losing the will to live... Lets hope it all sells and makes me a tidy sum! :D


    You doing any relisting this wk? Its been much faster for me.

    Up until this morning i didn't have much selling from last weeks listings. But luckily had a few last minute bids.

    Relisting all the items that didn't sell and have a few more bits, but its not boring me senseless this time.

    I sold 13 in the end. The percentage of items sold is quite low compared to listed, so i wont state how many went up. lol.

    Hate listing and packing the items, but when the money comes in it is always nice. :rotfl:

    Going to try and list some more today.

    Hi all,
    Its feeling like a very slow month. I have only saved £82 so far this month. £60 of that is because the electric company have reduced my DD for 6 months. The other £22 is from savings when shopping.
    On the plus side. I have had an overhaul on my approach to the weekly shop and have found that for the last 3 weeks I have spent approx 1/2 of what I would usually spend. I am very surprised as the kids have been on easter hols for 2 weeks and they usually eat everything in sight. So I am reducing my weekly spend which I intend to put towards paying off catalogue and store card.
    I have not listed anything on Eb*y for months. I find it really stressful. I think I am gonna find a few spare hours and list stuff ready for next free listing. I hate trying to get it done in a rush.
    Anyway, well done to everyone who has stuck with the challenge:beer:
