    well my total increased by £100 exactly, this came from my piggy and loose change jar. but best of all, so far, I have over £70 in my amazon account and that doesn't touch my bank account till monday. so needless to say I have spent the afternoon listing even more, books and videos (where on earth did we store them all before). so hopefully that amazon total will increase over the weekend.

    :T well done everybody, and to gemzie too for the newsletter.

    Well done rachelja and slowlyfading! Nowhere near that, I don't think:
    - change, around £14.
    - £20 a week from my weekly cash allowance - I used to spend it all!
    - and this one, I'm *really* *really* pleased about: about a month ago, I emailed a science fiction mag with offers to sell past mags. And I've had a reply wanting 4 of the issues I have, at £1 an issue plus a good allowance for postage! I'm so chuffed, I can't tell you, I just threw off that email and thought, well I've done it, why not, it can't hurt. And now it looks like it might turn into money (and the area of my house that is *supposed* to be a second bathroom might one day be clear enough, and I might have enough money, for the builders to move in).

    My total on the way & just updated my sig! Doing well but suspect that this will slow down as not much left to ebay so most money now will come from out of hors & surveys! One item got a 99p bid though! Nothing on the **** ring although 5 watchers! Must get dressed...off to aqua aerobics & certain areas need some attention before a swimming costume is adorned IYKWIM!!
