    Please motivate me, I just cannot be bothered to do Ebay this month, the house is fit to bursting with things. Plus I have booked the plasterer for the beginning of April to come and skim the living room, which means I need to sell my curtains, cushions rug and ornaments which should go well as they are still most of them current in Next so should make a fair few pounds if I dont sell I know what will happen they will just end up in the loft with all the other bits and pieces never to be seen again and I know they would all be best off gone before arghhhhhhh

    If I dont do Ebay will make my total for February not very healthy must do ebay must do ebay :o

    I'm in the same boat as you Clipperty - our house is bursting at the seams with stuff but I CBA. We'll have to encourage each other maybe and try to do, say, 5 things a week. Such a faff isn't it for sometimes not very much BUT every little bit extra helps doesn't it.

    I've got some stuff to put on tonight (only about 3 things). Do you want to do some too tonight and we can report back tomorrow and say how many items we did and how much we got for them?



    I'm well into this Quidco thing and, once tracked, should have about £21 to put on; great stuff!!

    £10 from babysitting again last night. Will add to my total in a minute.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    i was just wondering...i've noticed that you babysit quite a lot sexymouse. i ws just wondering is this just people you know/family members?? or have you advertised your services somewhere?

    i would be happy to babysit for some extra money, but i don't know how i would find anyone to do this for?

    Hi lisa - I babysit for a family who responded to my ad on gumtree - the Mum and Dad work quite a way from their childrens' school so aren't always able to pick their children up, so I pick them up and then look after them for a couple of hours. The parents also go out regularly at weekends, so I'm lucky really as they are keeping me busy.

    Feeling very demotivated due to my course/job application getting on top of me, in the last month I've only gained about £20 but it'll be ok in the end right?

    As I am only counting money once in my account I only have the money I exchanged from the euros I found, but this month should look better as we'll transfer the ebay money across after fees, add the cost of the vouchers OH got from work once we've bought the baby's buggy, include the fiver I got in nectar points following a complaint once their spent and that sort of stuff....think we probably hit target in January in theory just not on paper!
