    Finally worked out I made £40.43 profit on Ebay over the weekend. Seems to have taken me an age to package, post and work out all of the deductions! Anyhow, it is done. :)

    Think I may have missed the original "telesales" discussion. :rotfl:

    Did see a rather hilarious documentary about it on Channel 4 fairly recently and how people were using it to supplement their income. I was watching it and thinking of this challenge!!!

    Have a good evening everyone. Am going to try and get some swaggering done this evening. It is going rather slowly at the mo as I loose the will to live with some of the surveys etc so tend not to bother. Will also see if I can get 5 more items chucked onto ebay. Little steps and all that! Getting sick of drowning in junk so not waiting for free listings, just throwing it all on at 99p in dribs and drabs and will see what happens.

  • Well ive had the most god awful day:(

    My eldest daughter (15 years old ) has decided she wants to move in with her dad :(

    Im gutted to say the least, its not like we dont get on or anything like that, she feels sorry for her Dad being on his own, but im also mad at him because i think he's talked her into it :mad: and been putting ideas in her head.

    Ive been crying on and off all day, i feel so so sad :(

    OH is no help, he doesn't understand why im so upset, shes only moving 2 streets away, but it doesn't sit right with me, she's my baby, and like i say its not like we dont get on ect.

    Oh no that's awful, you poor thing. Perhaps you could ask her, rather than moving out, she sleeps over at her dads more often?

  • Ive already been letting her go to her dads whenever she likes, which is most of the time lately. He spoils the kids, phones, Telly in room, they choose whatever they want each night for tea ect...
    i can't compete with that :(

    He gave her an ultimatum last week, she either moves in with him full time or stops going round other than on his weekend ~ Thats why i so mad at him :mad:

    she said she wanted to stay there, today he has been sorting out claims for tax credits & child benefit !!

    I of course hit the roof, but at 15 i can't stop her if that what she wants :(
