Morning all, I have taken an impulsive day off today so going to have a declutter and start ebaying etc

I was just wondering if there is anything I can do with old bedding? I saw on the front page there are companies that take old clothes so was wondering if there is a similar for pillows/duvets etc? If not, can they be recycled? Haven't a clue what to do with them lol!

Animal shelter maybe? x

No one around today?

Got £20 pending with Ebay sales at the moment, which after fees will be about 2% They dont end til Fri/Sat/Sun though so hoping its early days!

Registered my Nectar card and holland and barrett cards today, hoping ill get points to turn into pounds Got £1.50 off H&B just for registering!

Not much else to report TBH. Got a pair of boots to list on Ebay (trying FB first) and im going to see if ordering essentials on Amazon works out cheaper than the shop (i alreadt buy the dog food there, saves me £4 a bag (£37 instead of £41 a month and it gets delivered free to the husbands office so i dont have to wait in ) Also looking at utility warehouse for Gas and Elec as ive heard good things!

Roll on payday!! is all i can say, its been a looooong month

hi all pay day tomorrow so just checked my bank account to see what i have leftover. a total of £142.27. so that has gone straight off the credit card. I have managed this by living of contents of cupboards and freezer. also had £17 off quidco and 24 from ebay. going to try and reign in the spending on food next month as still have loads of frozen food left. i have also listed 10 items on ebay so fingers crossed. wishing everyone luck as i know a lot of you don't get paid till end of the month.

Hi all you 1%-ers,

That now takes me to 8% (#211) :T

Hi folks - got another 1% to add to my total this week making it 15% altogether! This was donated by my two lo's from their Xmas money. In case anyone is wondering if thats immoral then pls remember that my challenge is to save enough to go to Disneyworld & therefore we allow the kids to chip in with their money if they want to.

Am thinknig of selling my wii on gumtree and all my fitness/exercise games as it's just gathering dust....

Not immoral at all, I think it is great that they want to help out saving for something that is for them as much as it is for you how old are they out of curiosity?

2 more bids but nothing to declare, still at 18% xx

My fourth way of earning 1%:

Amazon selling

I'm sure most on here know about Amazon selling for books/CDs/DVDs, but for those that don't, the advantage over ebay is that you don't have to take a photo or enter a description: simply find the identical item on Amazon, and click "sell yours here", add the condition of the item, short bit of text and set your price. It stays on there until you sell it, so no relisting hassles.

I listed and sold two DVDs before Christmas (total net profit £6.67), and have a whole stack of CDs that I got cheap from the library. I was going to try and remove the library stickers before selling them, but don't think I can be bothered! (they don't just peel off.) Think I'll list them as condition "acceptable" and note that they are ex-library.
