    What do I put in to find a local one to me please?


    hey hun, if you search on your facebook page for 'things for sale in ....' and put in your area something should come up, if not try different variations of that, i have loads in my area, freebay in ...., recycle stuff for free in ....., sound as a £££££, buy and sell in ....., 4sale 4swaps 4free, that is just a few in my area, as soon as you find one you can usually find the rest thro that one.
    hope that helps you out

    take care

    Another variation is Cheap and free in.... I have sold loads on Facebook since last Summer its a great way to sell just be careful meeting people to collect always do it in the day and a public place.

    Morning all

    I dont seem to be doing very well on SP yet. I had 30 spins this morning and won 2 points out of it. My SB points have gone on though so that seems to be working ok for me at the moment.

    I managed a survey on SN this morning, first on there for a while.

    Not much to do today otherwise, I might go and do a bit of sewing if I feel like it before the football comes on this afternoon.

    rufus my sp points are slow too. is there anything else we should be doing apart from the spins?

    it is sooo cold here and the sky is white - I wonder if it will snow

    we had a new bed delivered on Thursday and put everything in ds2's bedroom - now I have to empty it. he has a friend coming to play tomorrow so I have to do it today.

    ETA: Flulie - Sorry I was meant to quote you, but nothing happened. Welcome to the thread hun.
    I don't know what you mean about validating your SB. I signed up ages ago now, and can't remember. I hope one of the newer members can help you.

    Just have a look at chow - it's easy when you get going. All you really have to do is describe an item, and put your points of view about good points, and bad poiints, would you buy it again, would you recommend it to a friend. etc. DooU is the same. You write one review and paste it to both sites, and get double the earnings for just one review.

    Bunbun - rufus - where it says get points at the top - you do the spins, also watch the videos. Have a look down complete offers for things with four orfive stars, they are usually things you don't have to sign up to. In the free section, right at the top was a jobsite one where you clicked about 9 pictures and it gave you 9 points. You also get emails and surveys to do - I had one for 50 points yesterday (pity I got screened). What you really need to do is post a couple of your codes on the referrers board. You'll get more people and more spins.

    Aarons Mummy - the ebay challenge is just there for a guide hun. If you want to beat it you can or if you'd rather not do it you can. It's just there for a push. I probably would have stopped at with my sales yesterday of £32 ish, but knowing the challenge is £50 is spurring me on to do better. It's a wonder I've got anything left to sell - I sold £450 in November alone. Don't worry hun. There will be other challenges you can join in. :D

    Morning Ladies :D The sun is shining here (for the moment anyway).

    Cornish well done on the PF - Is it your best one? You've done great - very well done. :T:T:T

    I've just had a peep at mine - I'm at £101, and I was less than £34 yesterday.

    What's PF? This code cracking is not my skill.
