    Afternoon everyone. Hope Remembrance Sunday was a peaceful day for all. I'm pleased to report a total of £238.59 for yesterday, which is great! Some excellent and interesting PADs - Kirsty, you obviously didn't spend all your holiday money :T

    Do many of you make good sales on eBay? I don't think I've got much that would be if interest to anyone - what sort of things do you sell? Nice to hear it's working for you TTFTM x

    I'd never heard of Academic Prolific Sunshine...are you a scientist?

    My PAD today is actually half from DH (shhh, don't tell) £45 to the EF x

    Thanks Dizzy, I managed to keep hold of a small amount of spending money, but had some ebay sales money clear into my paypal account which allowed me to pay vanquis off :)

    I sell on ebay but seem to have a bit more luck with facebook sales - as we are moving i've recently sold some furniture and curtains/lightshades, an old camera as well as an old games console and lots of shoes. You'd be surprised what sells!!

    I have sold all sorts on eBay - craft items, craft magazines, a bag, a flute and a load of empty Pandora jewellery boxes are the most recent ones. Somewhere on this forum there's a thread called 'things you never thought you could sell on eBay' or something similar, that was quite inspiring!

    Prolific Academic is basically another survey site, only rather than general surveys you are participating in academic research being conducted by university students somewhere in the world. They pay pretty well I think, anything from 30p to a couple of pounds. You can cash out when it reaches £5 (but you get charged paypal fees; I've heard if you wait until you have more than £20 you don't get charged fees but haven't tried this out) and it only takes 24 hours to receive the funds. Studies come up often too.

    Morning PADders - wasn't sure I'd be online today as we were on Flood Alert last night :eek:but crisis point was 1am and the river held, so all is well. If it would just stop raining in the mountains, that'd be great!

    Yesterday's total is an impressive £437.41, with some help from Sunshine and her quadra-PAD :T

    Thanks for checking in Erme - my order is for a cinnamon sugar doughnut....mmmmm....nom nom...

    Triple-PAD for me of £53 to boys' savings and £13 to Tesco CC

    Keep warm and dry today - I'll be looking into eBay and survey sites to see if I can earn a few more pennies x
