Hi everyone. Just popped in again. Been trying catch up with the thread. Everyone is so inspirational. Can't help being inspired. Thank you. I'm starting slowly but hopefully surely
I've made £63 on Ebay this month. I've registered for S & S. I found out I already had an account with Tol and MM so have been trying to up those totals. I have a sealed savings pot into which I am putting my spare change too. Best of all, last week I had a surprise £150 from Quidco that I wasn't expecting at all!!!
I'm not able to pop in too often but will try and keep up with the challenges. Thank you all for your inspiration.

Morning all .. shop and scan bits arrived this am so something else to waylay me from my revision and module that NEEDs doing. We've started tidying up. The girls watch a program and then we blitz then another programe etc. I tend to carry on in between for a few mins. I have [and have been told by strangers] how polite and lovely my girls are but i still yell at them when stressed over the stupidest of things. They've taken it well that there is no dance today becuase of car. dad rang mechanic but not sure when today he is coming as his phone cut off! he's a nice guy as he will have a quick peep so i'm not really complaining.
I knw what people mean that you start clicking and forget about other pleasures. daughters now want to use the laptop so i have to FORCE myself to get off!
happy clicking and remember there is life without mobiles, tv and internet!

Hope your managing to get your feet up inbetween times, thats typical, be nice if you got the 3 peoples pay!!

I'm in same boat with you, got 27 things listed on ebay, and 20 have watchers, but as miss Hoodie says its not watchers we want its buyers!! xx

Hope you have some bids now mum2one, I only have one item selling but still watchers on most, be good if they do turn into bidders!

Have ended up working very early and late all week and am feeling shattered, so no money making for me this week I'm afraid

Can't believe we are at the weekend again, I hate them! These are the most difficult times for me its so lonely and boring.

Hope everyone has a good and productive Saturday x

Hi everyone, not feeling very motivated today. Lots to do and not enough time

Can't really keep dd entertained and pack. Have a big pile (mountain) of things to go on ebay. Thing is a we are moving on Friday I was wondering if it was worth finishing them on a Wednesday night so it all goes before we move or whether things wont go for much. Hmmm can't decide. Haven't even sorted through the airing cupboard where all the toys and bargains for next year are being held so I am sure alot can be sold.

Finished one of my items early as there was only one watcher and if it went for 99p I may as well have kept it for a present, sooo it's now going towards my brother's birthday instead. suprisingly a pair of trainers I thought wouldn't do well (brand new and boxed) is at £22 at the moment so it shows things you think wont do well may just surprise you.

Hope everyone is ok and doing well, very quiet over here

I have 50 items listed with 9 going to sell at the moment. Not lots of money but stuff going out of the house.

:j:j:j Hooray I'm back. :j:j:j

Internet got sorted earlier this morning, but DD took me out to the garden centre. It's only 5 mins or so in the car, but as the sun was shining she wanted to walk - it's still cold here, and it takes 1hour to walk it, so two hours there and back, plus walking around. I've not thawed out yet. Brrrr

Jammy - crowns only get awarded on Tuesdays. I got two last week, and five in three weeks. One or two more reviews and I should be able to redeem again. I'm sure I only did it about two weeks ago, so not too bad.

Bevally and Rufus - you'll get to redeem on OP next week. Well done both of you.

Sazzy267 - welcome to the thread. Sorry I've not been around, but it sounds like you know what you're doing. If you pm me your email addy, I'll send you the spreadsheet asap.

Legend - you need to change your signature hun - it's 2012 now. I hope Connor is ok.

Clairy - fingers crossed for OH. I hope it's good news, and that he get's the job.

Foxy and Tibawo - hope your exams went well. I know exactly what you both mean - we should be enjoying the time with our kids, but we spend hours on here, trying to earn the money to do nice things for them instead. You can't win, can you?

Cornish - sorry to hear your low hun. Sending big hugs to you. I think I've had four pages, and four days to catch up on and your's was one of the first I missed, so I hope you're ok not having posted for a while, and have managed to catch up on some sleep.

Michelle - well done on your Suprpoints redeem, you too Emma. I managed to redeem a couple of days ago. I think It was 9 or 10 days since the last one, so I'm really pleased.

That reminds me - Rufus, why aren't you playing on Super? I'm not after your points or anything as I referred you. It's just that you have two referrals, so you get 50 spins now, so more chance on earning more points. It all mounts up. You might not be able to redeem every week or two, but even once a month is an extra £6.50 odd.

Mum2one - he's showing his true colours now. Don't you worry about it - the court will see straight through.

I'm sorry I've missed so many people out - if I replied to everyone, I'd be here all day. LOL.



While I had internet probs, I was using a neigbours unsecured network a bit. So I managed to paste across a couple of reviews, and do swag and super, the sort of things that I could do in short bursts before I got chucked off again. I hate being without internet, it's like my arm had been chopped off. :rotfl:

How's everyone getting along with their challenges?

Elysia, I just wasnt finding the time to do the SP spin thing, it seemed to take ages and I was only getting about 1 or 2 points from it. I will have a go this week and see how it goes. Also I dont get 50 spins, just 30 still, just had a check as I thought it was still on 30.

We have had quite a busy week this week and now OH is off again until Friday so I dont know how much time I will get on the computer although I might get a bit of time to myself tomorrow afternoon as he is going to his Mum's to do some jobs for her. I am out in the morning but hoping to get home after lunch if I can.
