6 year anniversary - Make £10 a day Challenge September 2013 - everybody welcome

Scarlet1982

I'm off to a good start £32.52 eBay sales and £5 reward.

I will have to deduct some cash as i have to refund a buyer. Sold some books over a fortnight ago and the buyer has now decided to return probably after reading not too impressed I was hoping they wouldn't bother once they realised it was going to cost £6 to return. I usually have a no returns policy on my listings but slipped up on these.

I've been selling cds on ebay at 99p p&p 1.10. I've just worked out that ebay will be getting 49p (21p eBay & 28p Paypal) from now on and I get 50p I've not even taken in to account the packing cost :-(

Suppose 50p is still better than 15p you get with magpie.

I have no idea how you guys do this! I'm not very good at it yet. So far I have £1.20 which I found in 20p's in my sports bag that I used to use for lockers, and a friend gave me 5p at lunch time as I was short by that amount for buying lunch (I should however be taking a packed lunch! Old habits die slowly.) I won't formally join this challenge, but I will however keep in my signature what I serendipitously come across like this. I am yet to have found any roadkill despite having been looking out for it like a hawk. When I was at school, me and a friend (he unfortunately used to get bullied for it ) would go around the school at lunch time and pick up coppers (or anything better we found too of course). It was a brilliant place for it - no kids would be seen picking up a 1p or a 2p. We used to make almost 50p/day doing that. He made over £1 on some days.

Today a very well timed '£5 off your next haircut' voucher arrived by email as I had an appointment this afternoon! I have also used a £2.38 price promise voucher at Mr T's and found £2.10 roadkill.

DS1 is currently leading the Little Heroes competition!! It ends on Friday and I'm desperate to keep him there. For any newbies to this month's thread, DS1 is 8 years old and found his Dad having a seizure on the kitchen floor. He called 999, telling them everything they needed to know, and then looked after his baby brother until the paramedics and I arrived. I'm so proud of him. If he wins he gets a family holiday!

Thank you so much!! Yes I am! We've had a really rough couple of years since DH's accident and it could have turned Connor into a real nightmare, but instead he is a wonderful, level headed and sensible boy Xx

Everyone hijacks from time to time so I wouldn't worry about it

Been reading your diary. You are so inspirational considering the amount of bad luck you have had. You deserve some happiness.
