  • Haven't been here for a couple of days. Been busy with work. Also got in some overtime on both 1st AND 2nd job, all very handy for santa! :j

    Not adding the overtime, however I will add around £33 in tips, £11 on fleabay and 1p road kill at work this morning! :cool:

    Its amazing how well I have done this month, however it was needed, and still in. I'm running low on stuff to sell now. Must come up with a new plan! :o

    Hope everyone is well! :D

  • Morning :) i did a car boot sale yesterday and managed to sell just £10.50 worth of stuff......bit pants when i paid £10 to get in and about £15 in fuel to get there :( have done this one a lot in the past and done well but the last 3 times its been awful - i've given it a good try now and no point in costing myself money to go.......

    So thats my 2 biggest outlets for selling gone (still fighting with ebay but getting no-where). My selling page on fb is getting some sales for me as well as others so will be focussing on building that more.

    Am going to have to change strategy i think for other selling - go with job lots on gumtree etc or i will still be surrounded by boxes this time next year.....

    Car boot was cancelled yesterday, drove 25 miles, had the car packed, kids ready....and it was race day instead :( ended up going for lunch instead!! The girl didn't turn up in the end, what a surprise, and has kicked me off the page. oh well. Managed to get another offer from another buyer before she did though :)

    I seem to be spending so much money lately and not making enough. Today I thought 'new week, reign in the purse strings' then get a text asking for £17 payment at cubs tonight for outings. So annoying.

    £1.16 Quidco payout
    7p roadkill

    So now at £85.49

    Need to revisit my Gumtree ads that haven't sold, 5 have had replies, 2 got as far as arranging pick ups but have not shown. But I have had 5 sales & OH has sold some furniture to work who were coincidentally about to buy new what we were selling off, but that has to go through as an expense claim for him so that money won't come for a while.

    Preparing for a big fundraiser day for a charity I volunteer for this week, so my spare energies are going into that right now rather than listing more of my own stuff to sell. Really need to take photos of some stuff tonight and then list at lunchtime tomorrow at work.
