Afternoon hypno, afternoon all. Today I have:
- been paid for a missed session last week.
- sorted the first ever sale of the science fiction mags I put up for sale. Have been too generous with the postage, forgot about ebay fees, but still its gone really well.
- did my finance practice. In future, I'm going to list the amount I would've made if I was doing it for real. Today, if I'd done exactly the same thing, but for money, I'd have made £180....
- have cleaned two CDs to put on Amazon later.
Later I will:
- put the 2 CDs on Amazon! Nope.
- send off the science fiction mags. Made a complete mess of this. Weighed them so carefully, and didn't notice they were 1.4kgs, not 0.4kgs, so I made about half what I should have. At least it was still in the black.
- check with a local 2nd hand bookstore what SF mags, if any, they sell, and what their prices are for 2nd hand ones. Otherwise, they're going into the recycling bin.
- work on my work website.
- *maybe* practice matched betting - but that will mean reading through the thread and deciphering what I wrote last night on the newbie thread.Nah, not a chance, out too long today.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
I've done;
Quidco clicks & changed my mobile tariff to save me £10 a month, that's £120 saved annually.
What pigsback clicks are there?"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."0 -
Hi
I had quite a few piggy clicks today - dove is the only one that I remember off hand though.
I posted an ebay parcel and have two more items ending today (sadly only one selling though).
I realised despite it staring at me from my sig for a week that I've paid almost a quarter of my debts off which has been a huge boost!Mortgage OP 2026 £860/2000Mortgage balance: £31,763
Make £50 a month Jan £20, Feb £0, March £31, Apr £20, May £20
