    well not much news here. I need to stop the procrastination and get actually doing :)

    Well what I have acheived is I have a large pile for fleabay and amazon.

    Is anyone a trained nail tech?? I have been wondering about doing something like that part time, I am decent at nail art but not qualified. I'm wondering if i gain some qualifications if i could maybe charge for nail art or similar

    Hi everyone,

    Not much to report re the savings. Bit slow actually. :( I've applied for a few jobs - really hoping once I get something I can put most of what I earn into savings, so that is my priority! Got a few more bits for ebay. Really want to try matched betting, bit scared though haha! I've read up a little about it but still none the wiser. Anyway...when I figure it out I'll try and get something from that for the savings pot!

    Hope you all had a good weekend! x

    Does anyone do the bingo sites? They give free tenners etc to play with, I think.

  • I like this weeks challange :)

    Things I've done in Jan
    - Sold stuff on ebay
    - Rearraged my debt to reduce interest
    - Worked on pointings to sell
    Things I'll do in Feb
    - Sell more stuff on eBay
    - Trade in old phone
    - Sell necklaces and prints at a vintage fair.

    I'm looking forward to next month as hopefully it will be the first of many fairs at which I sell my art and craft work :)
  • I am really noticing my Etsy shop views and sales are going up the last couple of weeks - At the start of January I totally re-stocked my shop, added a new shop banner and made sure my photographs were all good quality and since then I have had loads of people adding my items to treasury lists and favorites which increases chances of selling... worth a try for other Etsy shop owners? :)

    Have got more ebay items ending tonight, should be at least £30 more to add to my total.

  • hi NatSte0,

    have done a couple of the bingo offers. Typically you deposit £10 and they add a £20 bonus to it. You have to be a bit careful as you usually have to play a minimum amount before you can take out any winnings. This is likely to be an extra £10 of your own money unless you have a win with the first £10+£20 bonus.

    Still, the most you can lose is £10 or £20, and one win could be worth a fair bit more than that.

    Also, some of them have free games that you can play every day at no cost which give you a chance of winning a few pounds extra.

    S
    2011: £2697.99/£5500.
    2012: £3295.75/£12000
    2012 Comp wins: gig tickets, wallchart, charity comedy gala tickets, shopping vouchers
