Don't know if anyone is interested but mr T have leggings and tops £4 each or 2 for £5 in the older girls range, have now managed to get my niece a full outfit, some sweets and some smellies for £8 for her bday so really pleased with that, also picked up lynx shower gels at £1 each so a couple each for each of my nephews with some money and they're done too.

Not getting very far with money making but now at 730 on sb so trying o keep the tv running to up my points.

Flulie - well done on your redeems if it wasn't for c this month i'd have hardly done anything.

Beginning to wish I had loads of books lying around too!!

Hope all are well, at work this afternoon and then again tomorrow morning so won't be back to the money making til tomoro night xx

thanks for the book sites, i have just sold 31 items and made £23.58. so pleased to get rid of things that are just gathering dust. this cheque will cover the £20 im short next month for bills woohoo, will definately stay out of over draft, unless something else crops up, hope not...


Hi - what sort of books were you selling? All I was offered was 30p for everything and some where hardbacks that had been read once and were £25 to buy. I dont expect to get a lot but I would feel better giving them to a charity shop as at least I know they would make a couple of pounds for their cause even if I did not.

I had a load of dvd and cd as well, only about 10 books hun, had some art books from when i was in college, but i did only get 30p for some.

I had good news with one item on the book site - I'd bought DD2 a book before Christmas for £3.99 and it went for £9.09, so it's worth a try.

Karonher - which site did you try? None of mine went on Fatbrains, but they did on Zapper. Having a proper sort out this evening to see what else I can get rid off.

Jam Tart - I've a list of DooU and Ciao members I can send you. I'll do it in a minute, but if I forget can you remind me.

Emma - how lovely booking your holiday. When are you going? It's something to aim for, and look forward to. Well done.

Michelle/Cornish - why did I think 15th to 15th about the PF ??? I'm happy to be proved wrong - it might mean I still get a little payment next month, even though I'd not written much this month.

Fluelie - it's good to see you joining in hun.

Kayandy - Unless you have a good speed broadband, I wouldn't bother with RTV. I've been on there a year, and not managed to get one of the prizes yet. It's not for want off trying though, my broadband just isn't fast enough.

Wellpreserved - well done with your reviews hun. They are fabulous. You've really got a talent there. I'm slowly catching up on rates I've missed too. Don't you worry about us.

Nickybo - Have you had a chance to try your books yet? How did you do? How's little Oliver settling in? I hope you are all well.

Chel - How are you hun? How are things going?

I've had an email today asking for men to be part of a research project - it's about electric and gas, and changing suppliers etc. I think it's for an hour and you get paid £40 (MEN ONLY). I'll paste it here, incase anyone wants to get their OH's signed up.




Hi All

Many thanks for applying to be part of this research, we have had a great response particularly from the female contingent. We still however require more men to take part in this research, so if you know of anyone (male) that might be interested then please get them to register for the research by pressingclick here

Many thanks

Chris

i have a very large box of cds i wil lgo through and sort - lets hope i can get up to the min amount. Feeling poorly today but am now up to 653 on SB. is it best to get $5 or the £5 when i redeem with them? They gave me 50 points for my birthdays yay so cant complain

Legendmum

Elysia what was the name of the book you bought DD? Might be worth a gander when in charity shops or car boots for it?!

I've just been on Zapper too. I've got nearly £20 so far, that's for 20 books, cds and dvds. All the cds were valued at 30p but they are all really old and I haven't listened to them for about 10 years. I'm quite happy just to get rid of them all and get some space back! Some of my old text books got £2-3 each and an old Playstation game got nearly £4. I'm going to check through the garage when I get some time as I know I've got boxes of books in there too

Zapper were offering 30p and Fatbrains did not want them. Hopefully the cds and DVDs will rack the total up a bit and I will include some of the paperbacks. x
