Raggydoll this is my 1st month on here! I cant believe how well I have done a lot of it has been luck, my sealed moneybox was filled to the brim so I opened that and my aunt gave me some money but I have also listed things on ebay and Ive just found out Ive got £10.60 to spend in sada due to wombled receipts

the lady didnt turn up for the pram *frustrating* I'll message her again but not sure how long to wait til I approach the second highest bidder - any ideas?

I have had a taste of this with my first buyer on Facebook (only this month!) it's such a pain but I think you have to just possibly give them the benefit of the doubt, especially if they have young kids, personally I think I would give them 2 to 3 days after sending a very polite message to ask when they can make it. On the group I'm in it says members will be chucked out after 2 no-shows.

With mine a woman was supposed to be coming and didn't show and she was all like 'oh what a scatterbrain I am LOL' on the inside I was cross at being messed about and 2 days later it still wasn't sorted so I dropped my items off with her to save any more messing about.

I haven't put anything on eBay for collection as I didn't want the hassle.



With other buyers I have sent numerous messages and they say they haven't got them, but apparently they go into a folder called 'other' if you aren't Facebook friends so for me, that held things up.

Hope this ramble may help a little and I hope you get your money soon xx

£5 love to shop viucher from survey

Had a bit of a convoluted making money day today.

Firstly I had forgotten to add in the money I saved buying some thermal curtain linings for my spare room (last room without thermals poor thing) as I snaffled them in a charity shop for £5 instead of £ 17.99 at Dun*elm. Problem is they are way too big but lady who does alterations wanted £ 10 to resize and so am going to do myself! Bought cotton for £1 today.;)

Secondly I have £30 vouchers for John L and have wanted a decent George Fore* for absolutely ages - price £89.99. The DH said that he would give me the £60 for Chrissy so I looked online and they are on offer for --- £49.99 and I have ordered for Sat.

So saved £12.99 on linings
£ 9.00 on alterations (cotton cost £1)
£40.00 on grill
made £ 4.00 on surveys

Grand total = £ 65.99 YIPEE :j

Hope you all have a grrrrrrreat Friday !!

Just doing another post quickly as I'm on 666!

Things have quietened down for me on extra money making front in last couple of days but I am up to £67 worth of ms assignments, I had three days of lunch out in a row -- payment not counted yet and some will go into next month I think. I am still chasing £100 cashback from PC World and £50 from a friend from a sale which is a bit awkward.

I have 14 items listed on Ebey and I reckon around half or a little more will sell and I'm estimating £15 from those sales. I have put a Monsoon dress and a John Rocha at Debenhams dress on (while these are my only decent ones I don't really wear them. . .), plus a couple of chunky knitted tops and all of them have watchers. I have signed up to a new ms agency and am hopefully sorting 2 old laptops to sell. Qmee got me 5p today I think for searching PC World Cashback.

I still have piles of books to sort through, and I'm going to sell our Wii. I did 6p of Adpoints today, I wanted to get the extra points they flag up on a Thursday but tend to do most on a Sunday evening. I've sold 50p short of £50 of stuff on Facebook so far, but I know my prices are on the low side, I sold an old typewriter for £5 plus petrol money, such a bargain but it turned out the lady had arthritis and couldn't use a pen, I am stressing now, I really don't think I should have took her money, perhaps I should back that up and send it her back. I sold a car seat, again for a fiver, the lady couldn't believe her luck, but I just couldn't justify selling it for more when it has been gathering dust in our loft for 10 years!

But I have been working so hard at work, I really can't wait for the weekend. Rumour has it that I can actually pay myself this month.

Well my fantastic OH has just given me his wage slip.. He has been doing a LOT of overtime this month and has made £350.72 extra!!! So that has smashed our target :j:j I am so proud of him.
Please could you redo target for £550 for the month as I would still like a goal to aim for!!

1p roadkill:rotfl:

Off to update sig. Not expecting much this weekend as i'm working most of the weekend. Think i'm in the kitchens too so no tips will be made

Got 30 items on ebay, but hardly any watchers and only 1 with bids so not expecting an ebay windfall thiss weekend. Will all be re-listed tho. Funny how some weeks i have LOADS of watchers then other weeks NONE!

Very happy with todays totals tho.... Think i'll go and have a jabber on in my diary :cool:
