    Aaaw, I'm so sorry for you. What a frustrating 24 hours (or more)you must have had, what with all that eBay/Paypal palaver and now the photo uploading:eek:.

    I don't know why any one should 'take the mick' about your use of phones and tablets. You're making the most out of the technology that's available and every opportunity it offers to those savvy enough to use it. And you do very well out of it. I know a lot of hard work is involved too but it must make it so much easier when you have plenty of efficient devices. I know I'm missing out by not having them. I bet if some of these people who do 'take the mick' knew how successful and lucrative your use of them was they'd stop laughing and be green with envy;)

    £16.60 from panelbase net. My DS had to fill in a very long booklet for a £10 reward,we forgot about it and sent it in very late but they have still paid us :D and we have now receive another one from maximiles.

    I promised him 3 costa treats if he did the book, so he is looking forward to the money clearing :eek:

    will work out ebay stuff later

    Do you know what the reward is with Maximiles? We have received the very long booklet and I'm thinking I may have to resort to a similar bribe :)
    June wins: 2 x Robbie Williams tickets, iPad mini, £200 skatehut voucher :)

    A huge thank you to all posters xx

    Another £25 to add from a Gumtree sale. Am currently waiting for someone else to turn up, so might have another £20 to add later.

    assuming equivalent of £10 in maximiles - not sure what that is in points though as all changed since I last cashed out with them.

    problem is maximiles don't do a costa card I think... so don't know how to bribe him now no more geolotto....

    he loved going in costa with his gift card, my points card and saying very loudly can I have a belgian chocolate cooler with whipped cream please. and then handing everything over....:rotfl:

    well I think princessmelody2009 is looking down on me :A and sprinkling lots of ebay dust :D

    lost out on 2 jobs as couldn't get them done in time, had to be submitted today :(

    and I had an ebay sale last night, that has been safely sent off, will give the buyer tracking number as bank holiday weekend, don't need any more issues with ebay and paypal.

    Sold another item today, again another loss as would have liked more than I am getting, but again, another item out of my house and some money in my pocket, soon to disappear out again with bills, etc.

    and just now got a bid on some samples I got free... :D love it.

    the more I sell, the quicker I can list some of my other items and get rid,get rid.

    I have stuff that is not shifting on ebay even at 99p so am going to give gumtree another go.

    well done to everyone on their moneymaking, love it. :T:j:beer:

    Hiya everyone :hello:


    Oh Aesop - I am really feeling your pain. I so hope it all sorts out for you soon. Think you need to take the day off and go walking in the sunshine and I am sending you some posi-vibes ((hugs)).

    . Don't like to ask on Freecycle again:o and can't see any offered on there. I've a £10 Argos voucher so might see if they have anything I can afford.
    Do you have Freemesa in your area and you could look on Gumtree.


    If you Google 'find me a cheap printer' there are some about but still ££s I know although some with deals. Currys are having quite a decent sale and you can get a little cashback (TCB). Fingers xd you get the one from your friend :)
    I'm done for the month as off to France on hols tonight! Met my target! Hoping to knuckle down again next month! See you in June!
    Hope you have a fantastic holiday and see you in June :D


    Did quite well today. DH has been bleating on about a new sat nav for ages and I've been keeping an eye out for him. Finally today I found one that does what he wants, covers Europe as well and has life-time free updates. It has super reviews and it has been reduced by £69 for the bank holiday :T


    I have reserved it for him and he will collect it the morrow when he finishes work. That will do nicely for an early birthday pressie :j


    Hope you all have a super Saturday
