    I've made another £9.69 today.

    I used a £2 coupon in boots for a product that I needed to buy anyway. Plus received a £7.69 money off voucher from Sainsbury's.
    No toiletries challenge, started 18/1/2010 - Putting £1 in my savings jar for every item that I use up. Pot 1 to 4 = £261. Pot 5=£23
    Boots points:£39.21. Extra money in 2012:£674.59. In 2013 £603.48. 2014: £85. 2015: £0 :j

    Ummm, been a bit awol the last couple of days I think, partly being busy, but mostly that every time I tried to pop on, bloomin' MSE wasn't even working!!
    That and I don't have any more money :rotfl:

    My £20 Facebooker didn't show up, a couple of times. Even when she's done that before, I don't think she's been this rubbish :(

    Literally nothing to report... :(:o:(

    Typical after having gone to the PO earlier today what do I just discover, but another item has sold. I expect they will want it for Christmas and I don't have the car to get to the post office again this week :( In November we went from a 2 car family to 1 car. OH of course has priority for getting to work but it means I am virtually house bound. I can't walk far due to the ME. Last time we only had one car I could manage the walk to the post office but these days it will take me ages to get there I walk so slowly and then I'm exhausted for days afterwards.

  • £1.80 from ebay - someone just came to collect which is SO much easier than posting! Not much for a piece of furniture but I wanted it gone before xmas and was going to freecycle it/throw it out if it wasn't gone by xmas so better than nothing!!
  • Ok so Ebay auctionS have now ended for this year i have a sum of £35.50 to add, but also something i had for sale, sold for much more than i was expecting!!

    I was hoping for around £40, it sold for £91 :eek::T but, paypal have flag the payment for review :( ive contacted the buyer and they have said it also happened to them with something they bought yesterday, they have a new ebay account but have been buying a lot of items over the last couple of days which is why its being reviewed :(....i wont be sending until Paypal have confirmed its safe to send and payment has cleared. I'll keep you all posted on what happens, but it can take upto 24 hours. Ive never had this happen before so hope it all turns out OK!

    :T:T:T Well Paypal cleared the payment this morning so i'm adding the £91 which means i've hit target :money: :beer: and then some :D

    £4 rom pc to add.

    3 days of craft fairs this week so hoping i'll be adding to the total at the weekend
  • Good morning everyone. Haven't updated in a few days. Have been running around visiting etc plus ebaying !!

    So total in from ebay...£76.33

    I still have 5 no payers and I am beginning to think I will not be gettting paid as some of the items are Christmas decorations. Thats life or should I say thats ebay :)

    I have done well and am proud of the work that I have put in but I am tired of ebay at the moment. I say this every year and after a week of not listing I am itching to get going again :)

    Durham_mim,is it worth looking at couriers who come to your house instead. They collect and deliver. Some work out cheaper than royal mail.

    My facebooker just arrived so another £10 to add to the kitty. I have a lot on eBay but only 1 is for me, selling mothers crap as she's short of dosh. Had a call from students school yesterday asking if I'd like some students from feb 10th for 10 days, yay! Told my mum and she said "ooh, that's good, it'll pay for Christmas" I agreed, yes, it'll pay for 2013. She laughed, I don't think she's of the same mse mind as we are, she thinks I've not prepared for this year, paid for it on plastic! No no no mother!
