Well done Susan on getting the hang on SB and good about the money in TCB too.

I just managed a survey on SB so boosted my points for today, not had much off there the last few days as not had time to really go into it. OH has been off and we have had things to do plus doing a lot of sewing still.

Hello all, been a while! Not had much chance to get on here. Been doing well with Chow and DY and suddenly have lost motivation to review, more accurately, ran out of things to review! Must get back to it! Hope you are all well

Hi Jammy xx

Susan, sad isnt lol, I dont have anything else to do. I dont really know anyone living around my area apart from a few relatives and one friend, the relatives are mostly at work and the friend doesnt live THAT near, we only meet up once in a while so I have most of the days to myself so amuse myself by sewing. Just wish I could sell some of it as I have so much stock now, its like that saying all dressed up with no where to go, well thats me with my sewing, I have enough to do a stall or something but no where to do it lol.

I had a good day on SB, managed to do 4 surveys on there this morning and have earned 230 points just today. I managed to redeem on there, also redeemed on McC@ains, so thats £15 redeemed today. Had two vouchers too, one last night and one this morning, both £5 amazons. Glad as I emptied my account out yesterday buying a garden bench

Page 2 what is that all about???
Im in the ebay challenge, up to £26 already so half way through the month and half way there.
I've just sorted out ds wardrobe and toy cupboard - got loads to list on ebay now, and want to do a fleamarket over the holidays. Did one with my sis last week and she raised just short of £70 which wasn't bad going!
Its just finding the time and motivation to list - I might spend a couple of hours on Wednesday. I've been working loads recently and to top it off have a bunged up nose and am feeling tired all the time too :-(
Got a couple of bits in the Next sale which I got for DS with her birthday money
I am also on a mission to save up for a special hol next year - a friend is getting married abroad and I really want the family to be able to go - we haven't been abroad in 5 years, just done the Sun cheapies as its all we've been able to afford, but this is one I feel we cannot miss!
About 15 off a redeem on sb too - every little helps. I am going to save the vouchers and treat myself to a kindle - well the aim is to get enough for Christmas and then get oh to give me the money to buy it lol

susan42

hi foxy. hope you feeling abit better. I like swags too. although it's becoming a bit of an obsession.

I said to oh try and think of something I can save towards. we came up with nothing !! it's always like that when you want to think of something you never can . and when I want something I have no money :-(

rufus- I know what you mean about sewing things and stock. I'm forever making things and there's no where to put them.

I sold all my things on eBay so that's made some space .

mum2one - how your fleabay go?

hi Jammy - long time no see

rufusdog52

I dont really want to try Ebay for selling as I dont think I would get good prices on there for the work that has gone into the items I have made but I really need to start selling some of it somewhere. Had email from the craft stall woman yesterday, she has only booked three stalls so looks like it will be called off.

I redeemed on Loony yesterday, waiting on a voucher from last month on there so hopefully that will come soon. Have a few other vouchers that I am waiting on too.

mum2one

slight confession haven't got off my rear and put anything on!! set mself target finding 10 things so plan to get them on next wend, could do with a free listing wend as Miss Hoodie wants to sell her Pandora bracelet, never wore it bless her (it was a present from the other side!)
