    Evening

    I've made more already this month than I did all last month!

    Roadkill 5p
    Eb*y sale 83p
    I've had an email from Br*tish G*s saying they are reducing my DD by £13 a month starting this month. As I'd already budgeted for the higher amount I'm putting the £13 in here.
    Looking at my electricity statement it looks like I've been given a refund of £100+ as my credit has built up. When it appears I'll put it in here.
    My V*rg*n bill is also below what I budgeted by £4.61. I'm really only taking money from myself here but what the heck. £4.61.

    So up to £18.49.

    Must get eb*ying. I'm so lazy with this. I've got this last four items which have been listed for months and I keep sending them round. I think if I give up on these bits it will force me to find other bits to list. I do like to have something listed on eb*y - you never know when it's going to be good - must get out more!

    Good luck to all for the rest of the month.
    August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.

  • Spotted Martin's tweet about surveys and have signed up to OnePoll, MySurvey, and dug out my password for Crowdology. Up to £4.60 already on OP and found £1.84 on Crowdology I'd forgotten about - neither cash-able yet though.

    Just a little bit concerned about the tax issue - I've earnt £25 in total from surveys so far, I don't pay tax (full time student), so do I need to be getting in touch with HMRC now or can it wait til I complete a self-assessment next January (will have added income from other sources and a wage by then)? Given that I'm not going to lose any money by doing so (since I'm so far under the threshold), is it worth just ringing them sooner rather than later to get it all sorted?

  • £4.12 on eBay tonight. Found a website which you insert how much you list/sell something for and it calculates how much your final value fees and paypal fees are. So £4.12p in a true value for something I sold on ebay tonight. Not sure if i'm allowed to mention the website if anyone wants to know??

    Anyway, £4.12p, every little helps! :)

    If you wouldn't mind sharing the site CP that would come in handy. I can never work it out without going into my ebay account and paypal account seperatly.

    Listed something yesterday as a 1 day sale, thinking I would probably need to relist again tonight. Sold for £12.99 before fee's etc but buyer not paid yet. Will work out profit and add when buyer pays. Another buyer still not paid from 7 days ago so that one will be NPB via Ebay to sort. Managed to get 6 more listings done tonight as thats all I could face. Got a £15 item, £20 item and a few bits. Hopefully something will sell!

    Cashed out £2.50 on Qmee. Also joined nectar adpoints and got that up to 210 points today (£1.05) but fairly painless and it all adds up!
  • I used a site called ecal. Hope that helps BlueCow
