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

emmaglet

Very unimpressed with the "telesales". The site is horrific to use. I had a bit of an incident over the weekend with someone calling me by my real name (which I have NOT given out to anyone, not even the site!) and then calling me over and over pretending to be someone else (putting on an Irish accent, then Scottish). I eventually blocked them, only to be called by him later - he'd just made a new account. I got fed up and looked for a contact email or telephone number for the site to ask their advice - there's a postal address in Malta!

So I decided to cash out and leave it for awhile. I had £125 after their fees for connecting my calls (so no one has my personal number), only to discover (and NOT in a nice, clear, easy to spot format) that they deduct 30% as a processing fee. So that's just £88. I really had to go looking to see what the fees were. It has left a really sour taste in my mouth and I'm not sure how to proceed. I sort of feel that it would be nice to set myself goals on there, to treat us to things we can't easily afford (or justify) now, like an expensive bed, a new TV and other lovely "treats".

But, in other news, £6.62 eBay sale to add and £8 for "selling" a £10 Amazon voucher to my boyfriend. That brings my total to £292.25

Oh and I almost forgot, it was my village's yard sale yesterday. Over 210 houses took part. I was busy, but the rain came tipping down so we moved the yard sale indoors, very well sign posted, but the village had all packed up so there were no more buyers. My friend made just £6 - £1 of that because I bought something from her. I made £17.20 in the end and about £10 of that was my boyfriend's things that sold so I didn't even bother counting it towards this challenge, I've just stuck it all in our loose change pot to be cashed up at some other point. I had really decent stuff for sale at stupidly low prices so I'm really disappointed in the weather.

10 items due to finish in the next hour or so bids on 5 so far - hoping for a good rally in the last few mins as away with work for a few days at the end of the week and so limited opportunities to make some extra ££££££££

I have not got anything to add to the pot today but I have done some surveys and daily clicks, which will hopefully pay off in the next few weeks.

OH drew down a £5 from my survey today and got the 250 nectar points from adpoints yesterday so thats £1.25 as well.

Not doing quite as well as I hoped, but been using alot of my spare time foraging and harvesting in the garden. So hopefully will have more time/savings later on.
Ev1 else seems to be doing so well.
