    Been listing like crazy on eBay, so crazy that I've now used up all my free 99p or under listings for this month! I guess this is now a forced dry spell until August, I don't want to list too much at once!

    Didnt realise there was a minimum, what is it?

    Well we are a week away from payday and I need to spend as little as possible :) feeling quite optimistic but we shall see. Will mean £20 less will be spent on overdraft fees next month compared to this month, so that's £20 more to save :)

    Have you considered applying to a dentistry college? They have them in some of the bigger cities or linked to schools of medicine. I've no idea how good/cost/convenient they might be, but when I was younger they were always looking for volunteers for their students (under very strict supervision).
    There was one dentist in Cheshire advertising for people to do teeth bleaching.
    Thanks for that. There is a dental teaching hospital in the area I live but they only do emergency work and things like removing teeth. unfortunately they don't do training in cosmetic work :(

    Tomorrow is the big day where I find out how much it is going to cost and I can work out my % and start generating income.

    Hey everyone, just an update!!
    I have put 16 books I was going to give to the charity shop on green metropolis, although not holding up much hope, but you never know! I have also listed on eBay although I'm going to have another bash at that tomorrow night! I have also signed up to valued opinions, dooyoo (have written 2 reviews so far!!), resurrected my one poll account as I have £23 in that, and joined swagbucks!!! Also keep checking my topcashback account as I have money left to clear on that!!
    I was wondering if anybody had any other ideas on where to sell books???

    Clearing off the credit card
    Every little helps!!!

    I traded my books in with amazon. You get a gift voucher added to your account which for me will just be used towards a christmas present. Not exactly seeing any cash but helps in the long run If you know what I mean!

    how much did you have to sell before your allowance was increased? my ebay account only lets me list 10 items a month!
