    :hello: and welcome. You can do it.

    Take a look at the first post for ideas.

    Are you signed upto survey sites? Swagbucks?

    Don't forget to check the third post for highly recommended sites and take a look around the house.

    Any old books and dvds? Check out a few sites like music magpie, webuybooks, ziffit,zapper etc and see what you will get for them.

    Any foreign coins, send off for cash.

    Any franked stamps? I know a guy who buys them for cash.

    Have a smartphone? Look at some apps that make you money.

    Lots of ideas, facebook selling pages, shpock app, ebay, craigs list, gumtree, netmums etc

  • Well, as hoped, the Sunday afternoon boot sale was a lot more fun and much more successful than the Saturday morning one. Loads of buyers in jovial and spending mood, probably the nicest I've ever been to. It's a shame it's only held once a year, on the field adjoining a display of vintage tractors and other old rural machines. There was a nearby hall displaying country bygones, and a small marquee where they were selling strawberry teas. But, wait for it, the best bit was that I made £178 profit. Counted it 3 times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

    Added to the £69 I made on Saturday that's a total of £247 from selling stuff that I certainly wouldn't want to buy myself:rotfl:. Well, I did once, some of it anyway, but you know what I mean.

    Sold a business manual on Amazon on Saturday for £30.90 profit (bought at a jumble sale for £1) but won't add to total until I get it, plus Populus £50 redemption cheque which hasn't cleared yet so will add that later too.

    I've just updated my sig with £275.50:j,made up of the £247 car boot money, £8.50 carwash complaint voucher, and £20 Price Match and the Daily Mail Reward voucher used at Morrisons.

    A week ago I was feeling very despondent at having such a rubbish money-making month, and suddenly it's turning into one of the best ever:j

    :beer: Nice one carbootcrazy! Great to see!! I said it earlier in the thread - you never know what tomorrow will bring. A rubbish month can turn on its head in just a few hours, so never lose hope! :D

    Had a few eBay weekend sales of roughly £25, so thats not bad. Plus, we needed another armchair for the new house (apparently people don't like sitting on the floor!) and we got a matching one for our sofa at Argos which was already in the sale, plus a surprise 20% off code, plus top cash back, plus tesco credit card points! All in, it was about £130 cheaper than we were expecting! I don't count it towards my monthly total as I like that to be cash in hand, but it was a decent saving none the less :)
    £10 a day 2017 - APR £60.12 / MAR £82.24 / FEB £142.82 / JAN £241.24
  • Thanks, Surfchik80

    Brilliant result with the armchair, that's some saving:T. I never think of using Argos much but will try there more now:)

    Welcome to the Fred and good luck with the challenge :D

    Brilliant - what a super turn-around for the month for you :T


    Well - Whoopee Doo and Yippee - all my back interest came through today and it was a whopping £ 375 :j


    So adding £ 3.75 from today's surveys = £ 378.75 added to month.


    Was wondering if it was something to do with the Soltice and hope it changes luck for all of us trying to make some extra pennies ;)


    Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday
