    Thanks Guys.

    I've been making a concerted effort to get on with things this week, so lots of listing being done. Some sales too, but not as many as I'd like :D

    I'm trying to keep on top of surveys as well so I don't get screened out as much and then can redeem quicker. I've redeemed £3 paypal and £15 amazon so far.

    It still seems like I'm getting nowhere though!

    Just pulled out a couple of boxes of toys for little jwil with the aim of sorting through them and KM-ing them. Told him if there was anything he didn't like we could sell it for him. Got told immediately 'NO'.

    Great start :D

    Thanks guys :)

    I've done 50 listings today! If they all sell I'll really be swearing at all the packing :rotfl:

    I've also done endless surveys as I tend to do them while the photos are uploading. I've redeemed another £5 amazon voucher as a result but will count that when I get it.

    3 items have sold today and another few going out tonight, so I've got to hope my bubble wrap turns up tomorrow otherwise I've got nothing to pack it with!
