    Welcome Welshy!

    Great to have you on board :D

    Would it be possible for you to do a car boot with all those toiltries youve amassed? There could be a fair amount of cash there if you sold everything for say 50p a go?

    Anyway bol with the clarks stuff, im sure they will sell really really well- theres always people buying clarks, excellent shoes IMO.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Thanks Lynzpower - as I speak the kiddies are going thru my toiletries putting them into brands etc - I believe there is around 1,000 items in total although I have lost count. One idea is to sell them at a car boot or approach a market trader/£1 shop and see if they are interested in buying it all.

    Before I list on ebay I am trying to load up the spoonfeeder software onto this PC it was wiped after it crashed a couple of weeks ago. I like spoonfeeder as I can chose templates and set them to upload at certain times which will make selling easier.

    The clarks shoes were a bargain (I have 4 kiddies) but unfortunately none of them fit as they grew too fast LOL .

    Thanks for the welcome and I look to spending more time on this board

    I was out mystery shopping today - it was my birthday 2 weeks ago and I said to OH wait until we get a foodie job and then we can celebrate without the cost of the meal - another thing to thank ehallet for as she got me into that.

    The company I worked for today, actually sorts out the tax etc so for me it's easier as I don't have to keep my own accounts etc. They are called TNS

    Welcome Welshy :D

    I love that trick of getting freebie meals too. Do you do any for the Mystery Dining company? They don't pay a fee but they do some really nice restaurants and their budget allowance is excellent (up to £45 for some places!).

    Good luck with the challenge :j

    Thanks ehallet for the kind wishes, your niece is such a cutie.

    I did apply for Mystery Dining but was rejected as they had enough shoppers in my area already (unfortunately).

    I have worked for Grassroots, TNS, Retail Eyes, Gapbuster, Optimum and e-digital and there is another one but I have forgotten their name at the mo. However, my favourite is TNS.

    That's about an hour now that I've been farting around with my old camera taking snaps of my cat hanging off the window ledge on the outside.

    I should be doing things to make money, but I'm running out of ideas.
    Debt free since 2014 - now saving for a mortgage deposit :heart2:
    This time I'm on top of it! We live and learn :coffee:

    Im simply stopping now J, its our anniverary tonight and that takes precedent. :love:

    Tomorrow, Im sorting the house out and on Sunday, we might just stick stuff on ebay- and then they will close the weekend after ( when we will be back home)

    What does everyone think?

    Shall we
    a) list them this weekend ( we are off on a break from monday night not back till tursday- then they are ending on Sunday - but we wont be here to answer questions - dispatch any buy it nows ( i prefer BINS had a lot of good fortune with them)

    b) wait and deal with it all when we get home.

    Sad to say, the parcel from DHL was the pinecone product ( they tried to deliver it 3x - not a prize :( and the one from the post office was the free gift that came with Maxim. which I really dont tihnk is as sellable as i thought.

    Anyway your thoughts on my ebay dilemma please :)
