2012 -The Year of the Deer

:DOk got a grand total of....... wait for it .........6 items on Ebay on Sunday. That takes ages!

Still 2 have watchers and 1 has bids we like that, however the other 4 are not looking like they will sell at the moment, i have until Sunday next week for then to get watchers/bidders.

How many times do you put things through ebay? as anything that does not sell takes money away from that which does.

6p in roadkill yesterday and a spend £20 get £3 off voucher for Mr T. As i have £11.50 worth of clubcard vouchers i reckon that i can get £20 worth of shopping for £5.50.

Think i shall get some meat for the freezer, frozen fruit/veggies and some nut butter

Must go outside now or will go mental

Ok
5p in road kill
£13 will sell on Ebay
£30 of mystery shops booked in for today

+ i have a few meals out planned which are nice as i get to hang out and be social and not spend my cash .

Still need to get a bit more effective on the banking and do all my totals for Feb and Jan so i can get them on the site.

+ Do you ever have these moments where you think your a complete genius for thinking of something really simple? I was in the shower earlier and i thought ah i don't have time to put my intensive conditioner in then wait to wash it out. It then occurred to me just shampoo my hair and whack some leave in conditioner in it so i could leave the house on time. I was like "i am a genius" but clearly other people have thought of this before or there would not be leave in conditioner :rotfl:

Ok must get ready and go start MSing my little behind off

summertea

Phew! yesterday felt long!

I got 2 MS's under my belt so thats £24 for me, i had to let one go as i had shopped that location too recently (hidden condition, missed it the first time) and i had an issue with the SASSIE system where i forgot to set the visit date grr.

Hopefully i can get that one back i'm working on it now. I really need to just book 1 per day otherwise i get too stressed and confused with too many conditions/options. + no more phone shops i really struggle to keep them away from my phone and then i always want the one they are trying to sell me

Eb@y coming along nicely just photoed a load more items i will get all this stuff out of my room yes i will !!

Now i'm hungry............

Hello!
I haven't had a single job with TNS. Everytime, I log on to Sassie all of the blooming jobs have gone - urghh!
Who else do you do MSing with? I'm only asking because I'd like to earn more a tad more than last months offerings which was only £1.50!

I had that for awhile its just luck to spot them really, the first post of the Mystery Shopping Thread on the up your income board has a full list of companies.

I personally like Retail Eyes, GFK, TNS, Gapbuster and ABA-i you just need to find ones you mesh well with.

Pod on over to the Mystery Shopping thread for lots more helpful advice and links

Ok having conflicting Eb@y emotions, an item i sold only went for £26 when others of the same kind with comparable photos went for £41 & £50 respectively and i had like 45 watchers. However, an item i expected to sell for £1.99 went for £25 :T so emotionally up and down.

Still £77 in payments but that is before fees and such so no total updating yet.

Seriously all people who supply posting boxes assume the item is wide but not deep, finding suitable containers in which to send these figurines is proving to be vexing.

Also had magical mystery shops this morning, i selected them and by the afternoon they had dissapeared no explanation given and all criteria were met. (insert x files theme here).

Got another couple booked but they just give reimbursement so will be stocking up on gift items still not sorted out ebay stuff as had to help housemate rescue his dinner. He made a beef stew in the slow cooker and turned it on but forgot to plug it in so i oven cooked it when i got home and got beef stew for dinner nom!

Ok 2 more mysteries under the belt but i may have made a faux pas with Ebay. I put a top on there and i have no idea where it has gone to go both bags of stuff for sale and went right through them but its nowhere to be found. I know i had it when i moved house.

The stuff that i photographed with it is in the bags so where can it have gone? thats what i want to know. Giving myself one more rifle through the possible places to find it before i have to contact the buyer and give them a refund as top has vanished.

Ho hum next time i will make sure i get my hands on the item first.

Well i haven't been in here for a while ( i mean my thread i lurk all over the board).

What to tell you all,

My boss gave me a really bad performance review, now i admit that we have not made masses of progress in my team but that is because we do a difficult job. This however translates as my boss getting a really good review from her manager for working so hard against difficult circumstances and me getting a bad review for not achieving as much as my boss wanted due to exactly the same circumstances. Where be the logic here?

Upshot of this is no pay rise for me this year and as we get performance related pay that is a % this will detriment my income for the rest of the time i'm in this job. Do not worry i don't intend this to be very long.

If this lady thinks i am going to stick about and work my !!! off for another year for the same pay with absolutely no recognition she can jog on:think:

So i have decided to get over my disappointment by making some more extra money for myself.

Enter The 365 Day Challenge.

summertea

What is The 365 Day Challenge you ask?

I have decided i need £30,000 as a jumping off point for changing my life and doing what i want. I don't know what i want yet but i think this is a good starting amount of cash to do it with.

I have £6713.49 so far thanks to this years challenges etc so i need to make:

£23,286.49 in a year

Lets call that
£23,300 in a year
or
£1942 a month
or
£64 a day

It seems crazy, i know this but having read some amazing diaries where people have paid off 16,000 of debt in a year i reckon i can have a good go at this.

The Rules
Money can be saved, made, gifted to me whatever. Vouchers don't count unless i trade them for cash and save that (i suspect however that vouchers will be paying for my gifts and treats).

Have at it! :cool:
