hi everyone

this is a lovely thread. I have been doing a lot of pound stretching lately and it is extremely encouraging to see the success you all have had, particularly the consistency over the recent months

I am tentatively peeking at ebay and I would appreciate any tips you may have for someone never having used ebay for anything but buying

If nothing else, thank you for an encouraging discovery

Chuffed as I've just sold a pair of jeans on FB for £12, had to deliver but only a few streets away but mind you I think they lady had been having a wee tipple and when I got home notice she paid me 20p extra so had to laugh at that.
Normally I don't deliver unless it's not going out of my way but I thought why not this once. I don't know why folk expect things deliverd. I've even seen soem asking on the free ads!
Today I listed 10 items on fleabay so fingers crossed x

Still looking for referrals to pinecone etc but no luck.

Plmbl - I can only echo what everyone else has already said, and it must be heartbreaking for it to have happened again
Definitely take some time out to relax and look after yourself, and let those around you support you.

No money making here at Monkey HQ today, although did the main monthly shop, and the trolley was literally FULL, so I was dreading how much it was all going to come to, seeing as usually it's so easy to spend £30 when we've just popped in for milk, bread and a few veggies, so I was really pleased that it came in at just slightly over £100. Will need to do the usual fruit and veg, milk and bread etc top ups during the month, but we did really well with that last month, so fingers crossed again for this month. Even an extra £50 throughout the month will make it around £150, for a family of 4 (2 adults, toddler and baby) for 4 weeks, which I think it acceptable.
Saying that, I hope now everyone won't read it and think, err no what's she on about, that's loads. It includes everything, lunches as well. Although doesn't include the babies milk.
I know it could be done cheaper, but I have to try and find the balance between keeping my OH happy, and not spending too much He's a big meat eater, so does get a bit put out eating my 'hunt the mince' spag bol etc, but she's learnt to shut up and just eat up most of the time :rofl:
I will try and make the time to be a couponite again too, see what freebies I can get.

The voucher trick with the Andrex/ Kleenex Nat - what shop is that in sorry?

Well I'm adding £20 of what I made yesterday to the pot - taking £5 for materials and cost So think that makes my total £44 for the month so far - so £44/£155 £111 to go!

Is it too late to join? Not doing much this month just trying to make £100 by the 28th so £5 a day from tommorow. This is to cover my overdraft so all my wages are mine again and hopefully fingers crossed will never use it again.

Will go for £10-£20 next month.

Hi everyone.Good day for me on Ebay sold 14 out of 14 items all at a 99p start and they sold for £205 before fees :eek: So will wait until all paid happy etc and then add the cold hard cash to this challenge.

Hope everyone else has done well

PLMBL I'm really sorry to hear your news. My thoughts are with you.

Some of my ebay listings ended today and 3 have paid so that's £8.93 into the pot.

Have also checked topcashback and have £6.11 waiting to be paid. As I want an xbox game off Amazon soon I've chosen to have it paid in Amazon vouchers so it's increased to £6.42! Every penny counts n that!
