Hi All

I have an OFSTED visit next week, so don't think I will be around much :eek: really need it to go well.

From April EMMAGLET will take over the running of the thread. She will do a great job, and she loves reminding us of ebay listing just as much as I do

Don't forget to check out her new find too. I haven't had a chance yet to take a look, but am sure it will be a great money maker.

Thanks Emmaglet for offering to take over. You will be fab

Good luck and thank you Aesop

Emmaglet, thanks for taking over

Lynnejk - I am following your advice re: shopping challenge.
Trying to put all reciepts on bull dog clip until the end of the month.

Well done. I'm sure you'll find it helps to see what you are spending and maybe give you a clue to where you can do a bit of 'trimming'. Chin up - there's always a silver lining to every black cloud and yours will appear soon


Made £5.50 today on surveys, though about time after all the ones I've slugged through this week :rotfl:


Hope you all have a super Sunday

It really bugs me that eBay feeds and paypal fees go hand in hand. I think that paypal should offer a discount for eBay sellers. We are already paying eBay feed for not only the final amount, but also the postage amount. Then paypal fees on top?

That said, paypal do offer a great service. If I withdraw the money, it is in my bank instantly.

£1.50 for referring someone to mystery shopping.

I've just finished a week of five mystery shops, which is unheard of where I live! I'm eyeing up another one but I don't think I could do another one for awhile. Three of them were awful service - slow service at one, needing to return our food at another and then a member of staff snatching something out of my hands whilst I waited in line to pay. Awful.

I'm considering counting up my change jar to see if there's anything I can deposit.

Hi all,

Had a manic week and cant remember where i got to with posting my extras but im now at a total of £270.62, which was made up from amazon trade-ins, roamler, quidco, ebay and a william hill pay out after i signed up to their bingo site. Also there was £20 off at argos with nectar points and £11.96 off at M&S with a voucher.

Ive still got more to come from quidco and MS's but i dont know if it will come before the end of the month.

Thank you for all your hard work Aesop and good luck. Thanks for all the inspirational posts and sigs, and thanks in advance emmaglet.
