    Just done some relisting and adjusting of some items. I've converted a few more to BIN. Sold another BIN.

    Going to do the listings now.

    I just checked my credit report and discovered that the balance on my target in my sig was £300 less than I thought! :j :j That's nice news :D

    Hi jwil,

    You are doing fantastically well - and only a few days into the month :j - i suggest if you strike all those payments off before the end of the month pop another target on of £100 or £200 - depending on days left, just to see of you can wrangle an overpayment in there :)

    I might nab your idea and list all my payment targets too - then again i need to find a way to make some extra cash - another round of decluttering but there's not much left :eek:

    Well done on the carbooty find :T i sold at a carboot this weekend - twas very hot :)

    All great news on your thread it seems - surveys, balances lower than expected and lots of good sales :T

    Let me know what you think of the book too please :)

    Thanks Guys :)

    I'm trying to keep the momentum going so we'll see.

    I'm a big Stephen King fan DDFW, so I'll let you know if I like it, I'm sure I will :D

    My goal is much smaller have decided I want to make £100 off ebay in June. So far I have listed 2 items. :)


    I have a list in my head but not sure of value and expect most are small value but they will declutter my room somewhat and hopefully earn me the extra pennies. :)

    Good luck with that target LAM :)

    My stuff's mainly low value too, but I do have a lot of it.

    Thanks Daisy :) Sleep is awful at the moment, I think he's teething, I'm up several times an hour :( I wish they'd hurry up and come through, it's been ages now.


    How's your little ones doing?

    Just withdrew a hefty 68p from Topcashback :D

    Am trying to catch up with surveys at the moment, and revising some of my ebay listings to try and encourage more sales.

    I've listed a load of things for DH, and will try and get some new ones on for me later.

    Oh, sold another item overnight, so have a couple of ££s to add :)
