Catherine MM, just go with basic traditional food. Dont waste money on the diet stuff plus it aint good for you and will cost more.

I agree, if you want to lose weight, exercise and moderation of food is the best thing. Not to buy diet stuff, it actually has more sugar and salt than normal food! If you look at the labels you will see. Following something like slimming world where they tell you how to make healthy tasty food is different. Like the syn free chips

£71.75 wages job 2 to add

Another most likely daft question How do you find FB selling groups, I've tried typing all sorts into the search but I must be doing something wrong, cause I can't find any, let alone any local to me!

try typing in "wanted/buy/sell/freecycle" in facebook search without the name of your area. Then see what it brings up. Once this brings up the list, you may spot your own area, or you can add it at the end to try and search further.

If there really isn't one, start your own I did.

A not so good few days - now behind the £10 per day target for 1st time!!:(

1. Just one eBay sale in last few days for £2.00 after deductions
2. Roadkill 21p
3. Needed a present for a friend's birthday - decided to give a book that originally bought for myself rather than buying something new - saved £9.99
4. Almost forgot - no Lotto so far this week so £5 saved on normal spend.:rotfl:

Went to M&S for a cake and they had a princess one, £9.99. There were about 5/6 of them but one had todays date on so I cheekily asked if they'd consider taking anything off and after speaking to the manager they got me £5 off I was so proud of myself cos normally I'd not dared have asked for anything like that All I could think was - need to go and tell them on the thread!!

Well done sweets! Hope your daughter has a nice birthday!

On the money making side i have nothing to add yet. My auctions end this evening on ebay and out of 15 items 9 have bids. The others all have watchers so i'm hoping more may sell. Will be busy in the morning doing packaging for postoffice!

Have you found it successful starting your own?

Total only stands at £267.57 right now...feeling totally unmotivated right now...worked so hard to get over 150 items listed on eBay, and I've only walked away with about £78 from my own stuff and £25ish in commission. I have no idea how I'm going to make my target this month...and it is SO badly needed this month. There's not much else I can do right now...waiting to relist eBay things next free listing, listed on Thriftstoreuk last night so I can't do that again for another week...waiting for two eBay payments (£60...on commission and £14 of mine), swagging and super pointing, waiting for cash back (£90 at WePromiseto, £85 at Quidco). Literally the only thing I can think of to do tonight is to Zapper three more boxes of books...I'm not wasting time at home on surveys or the like.

Someone send something magical across my way please?
