    Hi, could I join the July challenge (minus 3 days) please?! I took part when it first started years ago and then fell by the wayside but yesterday we found out that a house we like may be up for sale in a years time so it's full steam ahead for saving a decent deposit!

    I'm waiting on a possible PPI claim at the moment so hopefully that will give us a boost but in the meantime it's counting the penny jar and car booties for me!

    Yoohoo, anyone remember me :)

    I'm back, and I'm back with a vengeance. Got listings on Ebay, sorted the remainder of baby clothes to sell (my youngest is 1 and a half now and I still have from newborn stuff to get rid of, that's how organised I am :D )
    And have neglected surveys too, so I promise I will do at least 1 a day as my voucher stash is depleted :(
    Promise not to go awol again :)

    Lol Monkey, kick up the bum for you. At least you are here now. Wonder if lovecrafting will join us.

    Eighth Anniversary
    Big ebay day planned for me today. Gonna attempt 10 listings on 3 day auctions and 10 listings on 10 day auctions.... Wish me luck!!

    I had a big listing day yesterday clearing out some old CD's on buy it now for 30 days. Some have sold around £3-£5 previousy on ebay so thought i'll try my luck better than the 18p offered from musicmagpie.

    Think i need to try an aim to list 2 a day. CD's are easy to list as the info is filled in and no need to take pictures.

    I've also listed some unopened boxsets on Amazon. After taking into account deductions should make £100 if they sell. :D

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Just received a £5 partial refund for a purchase on ebay. There was something missing from what i bought so i complained. I very rarely complain on ebay, but i paid for a full kit of something that wasn't all there. I'm adding the £5 to my total because i don't actually need it so won't replace it. Is that bad of me?? :o

    Like i say, i very RARELY complain on ebay, yet today i have complained twice! Another is for a lot of clothes that are just no good. Holes and full of bobbles. Makes me see why returning customers buy my stuff, because i really do only sell things in very good/excellent condition. Still waiting to hear back from other seller. We shall see what they say.

    Anyway.... £5 to my total... And i've done 6 auctions since my last post not too long ago :D
