£1.27 from TCB, £10.68 from 123 cashback and £42.12 extra from work so a lovely £54.07 to add today. Still a way off target but looking better than it was!

I would say yes unless you were going anyway! Otherwise i'd make more by coming over to your car boots :rotfl::rotfl:

Talking of which i braved the snow this morning to go booting and came home with £40 profit after table and diesel costs. I also worked out my diesel costs for last weeks car boot and it turns out i made a profit of £5.10 from that and not the loss i thought.

Have some ebay listings finishing soon too so will hopefully have some more £ to add from those!

In January I wrote to our water company asking for compensation, they have now agreed so £30 has been deducted on this months' bill.

Also, used my £3 voucher from debenhams card to pay for my eyebrow threading.

I don't think I will be making anymore money this month.

Good luck to you all for the rest of the month

Infact now is a good a time as any to reveal my plan i have been thinking about for ages but working on seriously since Jan, hence why im not around as much recently.
Im going into 2nd hand trading, i've been looking into all the ins and outs of becoming self employed in this area, and turning my love of all things retro and collectable into a small business .


I read a quote that started me off :
Build your own dreams or someone will hire you to build theirs.

Moneyspider, good luck with setting up your business. Let us know how you get on.

I like the quote, that is so true.

I have an idea........i have a fb page that i set up for general selling and thought i could run an auction on it - no fees obviously and postage can be added so area won't matter I already run an auction on my craft page so am happy to try it on this page too! what do you guys think? would you take part if i sort one out?

Help, I have a buyer on Ebay complaining about the condition of a skirt I sold her. I told her if she's unhappy I would refund the cost if she returned the skirt. She is now asking about return postage. What is the usual procedure when this happens? If I pay return postage I think I will be out of pocket, but if she keeps the skirt and I refund then she gets it for free.

DM.

how much did the skirt sell for? if it is just a few quid, i would refund the cash and tell her not to bother returning, ask for the transaction to be cancelled so you at least get you fees back.

If you want the skirt back to resell, its usually you that would fork out for return postage, Ebay / paypal say that the buyer pays for return postage, but this then leaves the buyer out of pocket and more likely to leave neg / nut feedback.
