I've noticed that, as soon as I click that button saying I don't have kids they don't want me anymore...hence why I'm stuck on 6 pounds something

I think I might have a look around some charity shops tomorrow and see what I can find that I could sell on.

When you're looking for things to double your money with, do you ever find something you really like and get tempted to keep it?

All too often :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: i bought 2 pairs of shoes i really liked so i put them on ebay at a higher price but they sold anyway so i was happy enough :rotfl:

Well payday yesterday and i hardly have anything left!
Im off work today so think I may have a wander around some charity shops and see if i can pick anything up to double! Ive paid my bills and done the food shopping but its nice to have some pennies 'just in case' i need anything! Plus got little ones lunch money and music lessons to pay for!
Got a couple of watchers on my bulk books on ebay but no buyer yet!

Good Luck for some bargains badsaver and for a buyer on those books!

I've just updated my selling records and the results so far are:

Number of Items Bought 53
Number of Items Sold 20
Number of Items left 33
Total Spent 116.52
Total Sales 211.55
Total Expenses 82.38

Profit 12.65 - at least its a profit but considering i have almost doubled the amount spent with my sales total it is rather measley flipping ebay fees!!!!!! ahhhhhhhh!!!!

Well had a look round in a few this morning and found 3 designer tops for £1 each so after a spin in the washer I can hopefully double that! Going to have a trip to the more local ones this afternoon and see if I can pick up anything from them!

I might actually start working out mine like this and break it down. It's a good way although it will highlight how little I have made!

Is the £82.38 eBay fees, postage & paypal fees alone? If so, OUCH!

Yep and people wonder why you complain about fees on ebay!!

If i added petrol to drive to post office and padded envelopes there would be nothing left

I spent £2.98 on books today. I'll have a go at selling them on over the weekend

Fairyclicks - that is so depressing!

So, the fridge freezer we bought for ourselves at auction turned out to be an intergrated one.... And our kitchen units are discontinued so now we need to sell it! A bit frustrating, but I think we will make a profit - trying to sell it locally first to avoidthe dreaded fees.

Also trying to sell the mirror i bought in the charity shop. No bites yet, but I am sure someone will.

Some cd's listed on amazon - you never know.

So, yep, no money doubling yet! Only a matter of time though, I am sure. On a positive note, I've been actively promoting my hubbies business on faceache and there seems to be a little more interest. We will NOT be skint all of our lives.
