    Moneyspider - I think I would have been really sneaky and I would have pretended like I hadn't spotted the money, and subtly kicked it to under some shelves or something, and then popped back in to the store for a couple of bits of shopping after my shift had finished, and funnily enough I might have discovered it then, and as I wasn't technically at work at the time, it would have been fine to keep it. :o
    I may have been known to do this once or twice - never found a tenner at work, but a couple of £2 coins once that were by the exit doors, so I accidentally kicked them out as I was walking, as I was due to finish work in a couple of minutes. I thought either I would find them on my way out, or someone else would get lucky.
    They were still there as I left :D

    I hope anyone who has been busy making the most of the Free Listing Weekend has remembered about the fact that postage costs are increasing.
    Although I have finally got around to looking this evening at the new prices for packet size parcels, and some of them are actually going down. (Well, I hope so anyway unless I looked at it wrong :o ) Can't remember exactly which now, but possible the 500-750g will be a bit cheaper now. And iirc the 251-500g is only going up by about 4p from £2.16 to £2.20. I think most of my parcels tend to fall into this category, so I haven't had to go through revising lots of relists which has saved some time :) Got a fair few bits on today as I had a rummage in the shed :eek: If people would bid on spiders and cobwebs I'd be a millionaire by next week :eek::D:o

    Really pleased to see how well everyone seems to be doing - and anyone who hasn't made target, don't be disheartened as you've still got more than you would have had and that can only be a good thing, right :cool:

    Positivity is the key there is a reason why life happens. Find your rainbow and ride it.
  • Declaring at £406.11 this month.

    Need to do better next month as most of that wasn't real money making. Having said that - I'm paying £250 off my CC today and after all my bills etc come out my account, I should be in the positive for the first time in forever!
    So I guess it can't be all bad.

    I didn't list a single thing at the weekend - I've got an exam in 2 weeks and wedding cake needs to be ready in 3 and I'm not particularly organised for either so I'm not doing so well at the moment :-S Must pull my finger out. As soon as this dratted wedding cake is done though, that will free up a LOT of time for money making and studying, so all good :)

    Hope everyone had a good weekend.

    Just a reminder for May's thread which can be found HERE
    If you're lurking in the background, come and say hello, or better still jump in and join us. If you don't think you'd manage £10 a day then go for £5, or whatever you like. :)
