You'd have had deck chairs if you were a seasoned car booter!!

I'm not seasoned, I've only ever done 2! And I don't own deck chairs!! was very good fun though, not sure I could face another one just now though.

Just had another couple of sales on Amazon, so will package them up and post tomorrow.

I have updated my sig, rather pleased with it now.

I'm a seasoned car boot goer; I find the sellers are always in the utmost comfort: chairs, parasols, flasks of tea...

Yep your figures are looking good - you'll soon be under the £9,500 mark!! Almost a thousand pounds since 16th April - that's ace!!

I just wish it was more, but once you've added interest, the money never seems to be going anywhere!

But I'm slowly getting there. My total figure can still go down by £78 but I've not paid that in yet, so I'm not counting it! (Plus I need to find out how OD I end up this month!)

I'm so glad everyone is doing well!

I feel really demotivated at the moment. I've had to pay for a new car window, new glasses as mine were stolen, a speeding ticket and maintenance on my flat and I have the car tax coming up at the end of August.

I seem to be taking one step forward and two steps back.:(

I looked into a second job at a taxi firm, but that has fallen through, so now I am resorting to supermarkets to see if I can get some extra work. I've done supermarkets before and I was hoping not to have to work at one again.

Oh well, :rolleyes: onwards and upwards....

Well good luck with finding a second job, that would certainly bring in some extra dosh. Maybe if it was just temporary it wouldn't seem so bad? Or what about another type of shop, would that be better?

Hi Hel

Sorry you feeling demotivated. I agree with Hairy, a second job sounds like a good idea. Does it have to be a shop? could you not try for some bar work?

Hope you start feeling better x

This is the llink for the beginners guide... its very long, so I would suggest printing it off..... read it 101 times before u start, I'm still dipping in and out now, even tho I have started MBing a little. If u still have any questions after that, the Newbies thread is always full of really helpful people.

Sold two CDs on Amazon, plus 7 things on eBay, so off to the post office this morning, and will post profits when I get back

Well done Sarah!

I'm still to afraid of Matched betting. Maybe one day I'll give it a try, but not right now.
