    £1.50 from selling some little ornaments to a friend, £10 in 99p Store vouchers given as part of a blog competition. Got 4 bags for Cash for Clothes I hope to take tomorrow, sorted some more clothes for eBay.

    Got a letter from tax credits saying they owe me about £300, which is lovely but baffling as they've been telling me for months I will need to pay back thousands!


    Tax credits are a law upon them selves.

    I had a similar situation as few years ago when I nasty letter stating I owe the tax office 14K:eek: even tho, I am PAYE.:mad:

    The next week I has a 1k cheque in the post. Eh, doesn't 1 dept. talk to another.. sigh..

    Anyway, I appealed, they said it was just 10k I owe now. That's was a few years ago, I still haven't had any more horrible letters from them..

    Mind you, I am tempting fate posting this now..

    so far this month I have done really well, I remember this time last year nothing was selling during the nice weather, and everyone seemed to be saying the same,

    So far this month I have sold earned :-
    Ebay sales.................220.04
    Etsy sales..................137.50
    Amazon........................3.30

    I know I said I was going to try a little harder this month but I didn't expect things to go this well, mind you I have been working very hard to promote myself on etsy, seems it takes a while to get established on there, it's not like ebay were you can just list and forget.
    Ebay 13 ;)........1583.46/2000.00 Amazon sales 54/50 Etsy sales 63/50
    Amazon 14.......4/50 Etsy14............46/75. Ebay........23/200

    That's good work,

    How do you find Etsy? Is it mainly UK or American buyers?

    I was toying with the idea of Etsy, but not too sure.. Any advice?

    £150 this week from students, I was expecting more. The school never send a breakdown of payments so I have no idea what they've paid for!

    Hoping for some good sales on eBay but after they've finished then I'm all out of ebayable stuff! Need to crack on with comps again I think.

    £70 in Paypal after paying fees and postage, my total is now up to £177.81

    I really need to give it a push to make another £132 this month. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. So far I'm thinking:

    A ton of 99p listings on eBay
    TSUK (a Livejournal selling community) post
    1 day eBay listings this Saturday if it is free eBay listing
    £12 Clothes For Cash cheque is clearing
    £10 AppXpert withdrawn
    Really close to £10 Qustodian
    Daily free games on Jackpot Joy
    Bagging up the coin jars

    Quidco have pushed back my July payouts to at least August now. I don't have items for a car boot sale since I sold them all in job lots on eBay. I might be able to get £5 Swagbucks. And I can see a lot of AppTrailers in my future!
    I like to make money
    Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder

    I hope everyone else is on target? I am just about to catch up on all the many posts in this thread xxx
