    lolly, sounds like you've had a good weekend so far hun! Well done:j

    How insulting of someone to go loads below your BIN price :mad: glad you told them where to get off. Some people want stuff for nothing don't they.

    I was tempted to do a big BIN load as well but thought I should really wait till carboot season picks back up cos DS has been begging to do a boot for ages :o
  • Hi everyone

    I've had a mental week so am way behind on this thread!

    Got my £20 through from my Bingocams payout, thanks to Monkeynut for her suggestions :)

    That takes my total this month to £65. I also got a bonus at work (totally unheard of, I think they're doing it to keep us sweet as redundancies are looming) - £390 before tax and student loans, about £250 after. Feel it would be cheating to add that to my total, so I haven't. Is already spent anyway, paying off a loan to a friend of £145 and paying off £100 to another friend I owe money to.

    Seemingly gone are the days I begrudge getting money that I can't 'enjoy myself with' - I was so happy to be able to pay down my debt! :)

    Got a numb bum!!!!! :rotfl:

    Just listed 20 items on Ebay and I have now officially had enough! :p

    No idea how some of you list upwards of 50 things in a weekend. I salute you !! :T

    Kids are at the park with their dad. The house is a mess!! There is stuff all over the place, the laundry basket has done that magic "I know I will fill myself to overflowing while no-one is looking" thing. I did not get to the shops before they shut today, meaning I will have to go tomorrow with a 3 year old in tow (who incidentally hates shopping!). I am also hormonal, the diet which has been going not too bad ( have lost 10lbs in 6 weeks) has gone west today and I have been grazing on chocolate and thought sod it. :)

    Anyway, off to catch up on the thread.......no where did I put the other choc bar?? .............
  • Well i managed to get over 30 listings done over the weekend so i'm happy with that. Thats me done for now though, well, until tomorrow that is! Anyway, i have some due to end tonight and i'm so pleased to say that EVERYTHING has got bids on with plenty of watchers so i'm pleased i started them at 99p. I find that when i start at 99p i generate a lot more interest and bids. There are a couple of bits that i would like to sell for a bit more BUT i don't need this stuff so ANYTHING is better than NOTHING, if you know what i mean??

    Well, kids are stuffing their faces with tea. I'm off now to run them a bath and sort the school uniforms out for tomorrow... Its never ending!

    By the way, off topic, but does anyone here take tramadol? I've took it loads in the past and i've had to start taking some again due to my back. Anyway, in the past i've never had any side effects, however this time i feel like i'm, erm... well... stoned! I feel distant if that makes any sense? I wondered if it was the tablets. I'm on a few other tablets so i'm wondering if they are reacting with each other. Has anyone else had side effects from them? On the plus side, they are making me sleep on a night.

    Well, hope everyone has had a nice weekend. x

    Hi all, I managed 57 listings and need to stop now a five hours are enough! (I have a few watchers and one bid so far) Some are bundles so well over 100 items...I had 30 finish yesterday so need to start packaging them up! I am k..nackered! No more listing for me today. It can all go on tomorrow for 99p start. I seem to have alot of unlisted stuff left...

    I can add £27.54 from more ended and paid sales...this is great and we get rid of clutter / toys etc that were gathering dust. I just hate the non-payers, whingers, non-delivery claims and all the pish associated with grumpy ''huffers and tutters'' behind me in the post office lol :rotfl:

    Good luck everyone x

    Thanks Sweets :)

    Yep, some people definitely try their luck with the BINs - do they actually think people will give their stuff away so cheap, or are they just trying to take the :mad::mad::mad::mad:??? lol.

    I've done two through TCB - my Xbingo has tracked, but my Gala hasn't. Only signed up with Gala a couple of days ago though so not too worried yet. What sites are you waiting for?

    Gala, Paddy Power and Sun. Been about a week for gala and PP, only few days for Sun. I'm sure they'll come, just everything else on TBC for me had tracked quickly x

    have you checked their tracking record? On the side, is a little box that tells you how long the retailer usually takes to track and also has people's opinions on how long CB took to come through.
