  • Struggling ....!!! I do have another 3% to bank and then transfer AND my mum has sold some jewellery on my behalf (i make it) which will add another 24% BUT ... I have had an unexpected cost of £165 which needs paying within the next 3 weeks so it more than wipes out my planned extra 27% boo hoo hoo....!!!

    Hey everyone,

    Not much progress from me recently, only seem to be selling things for 99p on the bay lately! almost have a % though so will declare soon!

    I just had to tell someone how excited I got today! I popped to the shops, used the quidco check in app as I always do and was "randomly selected" to be credited with £8! Woooooooooooooo!

    I'm so darn excited about £8 of free money! Apparently random users are getting between £4-10 until tomorrow, so get checking-in everyone!!!!

  • Just finishing a couple of orders from fivesquids, about to go and brave the cold and wet to post them now.

    Think I might do a bit of writing this eve and some work on my projects. It's free, entertaining and I always feel a nice sense of progress. Plus it's the best thing to cosy up indoors on a cold, blustery night!

    Tomorrow I should crack on with my ebaying too!

    I'm sat listing a few more things on ebay on this cold, dark wet and rainy evening tucked up inside

    Only a few sales from last week - around £70 and almost at another 1% to claim.

    Tomorrow will list the final 2 for this weekend and then be packaging up the ones that sold. Hey ho here we go aiming to pay a bit more off the cc's!

    Phew! Sold some things today on ebay that were very much unwanted from a dismal period of the past. The buyer got them at a super bargain price but I am so glad they are going as I didn't want them and they reminded me of how I felt back then. They are off to their new home!

    Just about made 1% as reported yesterday and I have relisted some more and popped on anbout 6 new items on there for next week.

    Without this thread I wouldn't have got around to this and its all going towards the cc repayment and car job payment too

    Up at silly O'clock this morning so rather than waste time I went through a couple of survey sites. Claimed £10 Am*zon voucher of IpsOs. and £25 from Viv*tec. The latter will be prcessed on 31st.Dec:eek:.
    Few bits finishing on e-b*y soon and a few more bits listed for next week.
    This thread is really addictive. Looking round to see what else I can get rid of.
    Fedupandskint. Well done on selling your items.
