Honestly it's hardly worth bothering anymore! I've got all this debt to clear - a flat to save up for, and I'm getting £1 here and there. I's gona take forever!

Ok I'm going to shut up now. One dress went from £1.24 to £16.27 in 3 minutes! It is worth the hassle.

It'll take less time than if you weren't making those extra pounds though!

TF I know where you are coming from and have felt a bit "why bother" some days. Joining the £365 in 365 days challenge really did help me massively though. It made me realise that although £1 sounds like nothing over time it add's up.

If you managed to make £5 profit each day on ebay selling a couple of things that would be £1845 over the course of the year. Even just making £5 every weekend gets to £260 at the end of the year. I try and imagine it in crisp £10 notes in my hand and that tends to give me the motivation to plod on with listing those items that may not be mega high in value. Not to mention all the decluttering of your house!!

Our local car boots start up again next week and need to get one of those done for April too.

Here's to keeping on plodding forwards :beer:

Just requested a withdrawel for £125 from a bingo site :j

Joined last week as I was bored because of my sprained ankle. Was only doing it as £10 deposit for £20 cashback on quidco. Kept me entertained for a bit while I was off my feet. I am fairly disciplined and would not ever deposit any more money and my main gamble is usually risking £10 to see if tracks so I can get a free £10 cashback.

Anyway, while playing bingo a won a few free spins on the slots. Never play them usually as no idea how they work. Pressed a button and won £119!!! Got all overexcited but couldn't withdraw as hadn't met wagering requirements and needed to bet another £50. Miracously broke even and won a little more on bingo to meet withdrawel criteria so happy days!!! Can't normally win an arguement but I won't count my chickens until cheque is paid into my bank.

Keeping grounded by listing another 8 things on ebay tonight.........!

Thanks - all so true! Each pound is an extra to clearing that debt.
I used to do loads of booties, but now I don't own a car. They are such a good way of making instant cash - and having a clear out.

Evening everyone how are you all?
I have sold some baby sleep suits £4 and I have started making my own hampers full of toiletries. My brother being my first customer has paid me today too £20.
So chuffed will probably do more with the hampers once I have finished my dissertation for my degree.
Best try and get back to sleep now night guys xxxxx

Don't let the bast*rds grind you down. At least you're going forwards, even if slower than you want at the moment. Just look how far you've come already :j I just wish I had stuff to sell.


Made just £4.15 today on cashback and a couple of surveys.


Hope you all have a marvellous money-making Monday

Morning everyone
Chooks are in egg laying overdrive due to the nice sunny weather.They hate the wind and rain (like all of us):D
So the upshot is £11 of eggs sold at the weekend
and also £67 on Eb*y after fees etc so glad I bothered listing them.Just got to pack it all up now which I find a right pita :mad:

2 things which didn't sell I have relisted and both have already have bids within an hour :rotfl: On a 7 day listing so they can sit for a week with no bids and then get a bid within the hour it just goes to show it is worth chucking anything on on free listing days

Will report back later as should pick up some extra cash later today.

£5 from a postal survey and £6.70 from ebay. I've not been feeling well so not been doing much but every little helps.
