I always weigh them first (got my cheap scales) and check on the PO site, cuz I'm rubbish at estimating postage!

Wow. I didn't know about that. :T
I'll look into doing the same, right away. I'd been wondering what to spend my Tesco vouchers on. Thanks for the tip.:DFool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in.0 -

Me too. I've saved the second class post prices page as one of my favourites. It saves any nasty surprises.Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in.0 -
Doing well in my first week. A few items still on ebay finishing tomorrow and some of those have bids. Going to car boot tomorrow so busy having a rummage in every nook and crannie for stuff to sell. Whatever doesn't go I can list on ebay for next week! Hoping for a good day I've done 3 already this year and made £195 so fingers crossed. At least it's indoor and I don't need to endure the Scottish weather!LBM 03/07 £44k:eek: DFD 31/12/17 :A 12/17 £2545.50

Hi,
Can I please join in....will go for platinum...£4000.
Going to Oz at the beginning of November for 3 months, but going to still try to make money from there.....
Been matched betting, mystery shopping and quidco-ing, so hopefully will have some money coming my way soon....
Hoping to do some ebaying/ amazon stuff next week...0 -
Welcome Frankie! Just updated my spreadsheet and quite chuffed with the total! Will do a car boot when weather is a bit more predictable. Its dire in Wales at the moment (although not having the floods people are in the North so possibly not great would be better) as sunny one minute & chucking it down the next so NOT car boot weather! Have a great DFW day pepys!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1! Even in the darkest moments, love and hope are always possible.0

Yep, welcome Frankie. I just updated my change total for the week (and hence my total for this challenge!) but now, having downloaded my emails since Friday, I've got a sale on Amazon - netted a whole 99p! Will update that into my sig with the transfer from Amazon to my bank account, but its still nice!2023: the year I get to buy a car0
