    Just clicked now, put the Santas challenge on the other thread, and mentioed the free ebay listing weeeknd, - just a thought the postage rates are changing start of April, even if we put on for a 7 day listing, theres no quarentee that the buyer would buy straight away, so theres a higher risk its going to go into the higher postage bracket.

    I've been on Royal mail website site, and won't let anyone go into the new prices for April 2012, - its allowing businesses but not personal, think the date was 5th April.

    just if anyone has listed, - if you haven't got any bids it may be worth going in and adding a bit more on to the postage!

    (sorry to mother hen, just that by the time paypal and ebay have had their share - soon goes!) xx

    I have been away twice this month and my Mil has died last week. So money making is on hold for now. I made the £100 on Eb.. for March and have put the surplus down for April sales as I will not be listing for a bit.

    Added £20 to - money in 2012. Mr F got a £10 Mr T gift card for surveys done. I complained to Mr T mobile customer service - got a £10 credit to my account. Every little helps.

    Morning all, I have had a go at the bingo, over the weekend, only joined the one site so far, Ceasars and must be the only one out of us who didnt win big lol. I won the total of 88p but had a good time.

    I have been keeping up with the SB promo, have claimed two vouchers from there in the last week. I redeemed on DY too and requested £10 fro C so quite pleased with this month.

    We are having a day out today, OH bought us a tour of the emirates stadium for Christmas so going up to there today, really looking forward to it.

    long time no speak ladies.
    I need to admit I have fallen off the bandwagon and spent alot out of my wages for birthdays etc since Jan :-S and i am now feeling the pinch.
    Over the last month I have had 1 30th birthday, 1 21st birthday 2 enagagement parties. Over the next two months i have another 2 engagement parties.
    I am doing not to bad with shop and scan however sometimes missing the sunday night dead line.
    I need to do better ladies.

    Well it seems like an age since I have been on here! Will really need to catch up but have found it easier posting as Facebook as I am usually on there in the days! Lovely day here so will be spending it in the garden with DS before he returns to school tomorrow! Mind you only 3 days for him in school before Easter hols anyway!

    Hi everyone,

    I would like to start playing the bingo and hopefully winning lol. Can anyone advise any good sites? have you won before on the sites? x
    Hi Giner I have had a nice set of luck on the bingo won around £350 this month! The best sites to join up to are the ones that do cash refferals so you get paid £10 for joining up with a members name.
    These sites are fabulous bingo, caesars bingo, sun bingo and heart bingo. You sign up using a refferal name, mine is legendmum on all sites, then you deposit £10, once you have played through your £10 deposit then they will add another £10 to your account. This money is withdrawable straight away so as soon as they add it go and withdraw it. Then you can play your bonus money and any win will mean your up!
    Dont forget to check cashback sites as an added extra Quidco have heart bingo at £15 cashback, and tcb have both caesar and sun bingo at £10 I think.
    There are also daily free games on most sites and caesar does free bingo every half past the hour up until 6pm!
    If you need any other advice just ask. I think we are all becoming pros at this no risk bingoing at the moment! x

    Oh also to add the sites I have won big on are fabulous and jackpotjoy, i didnt add jackpotjoy to the above as you dont get cash refferals for signing up but they do offer cashback on tcb. Again my name is legendmum on there!

    Good luck!
