£40 added for some ad-hoc (quick paying) extra work.
A few more Prolific surveys done (and I found a message saying that they are processing the results still which was a nice heads up for those waiting on the same £10 survey).

December is by far my best money-making month. Odd but nice!

Gosh - you're having a good day and month Nicki :j


Don't you just wish it happened every month eh

Just realised my cheap energy tariff with e-on is almost up so applied to switch to another company. However my account with e-on is in credit by £101 (and another DD will come out before the switch is done putting it at £150) so at some point next month I'll get a nice wee credit from them.

That'll be a great start for January and 2016 eh :j

You had a super day there :T


I suppose you don't do car-boots at this time of the year ??
and start again in the Spring ??

Thanks, Lynne:T

I would do outdoor car boots if there were any but they've all finished until around Easter:(. Lexbubbles has a brilliant one near where she lives, all-year-round and undercover:j. Nothing like that out in the sticks where I am.

There are occasional ones at village halls and such like, called Table Top Sales. They are a bit hit and miss though from personal experience. Footfall can be really poor. The venues are small and the tables are a bit crammed together so there's very little space to spread stuff out which limits how much/what you can sell. After fees they are barely cost-effective but I do them sometimes if there's nothing else available. They've all dried up now for a while, people have more pressing things to do:rotfl:. I love the outdoor ones where you can spread loads of stuff out on the grass as well as having a table.

Oh yes, nearly forgot:o. I haven't got much that's saleable now, I'm left with the tat:(. Took a lot of reasonable stuff that I'd not managed to shift after umpteen carboots to charity shops, maybe they'll have better luck with it as it's a far cry from being binnable. Some went on Freecycle, it's amazing what people will take off your hands so long as it's free:rotfl:

lexbubbles. Well done on the credit :T

I recall you mentioning (on here or one of the other threads that I see you on:)) that your flat is very cold:eek:. I'd be the last to advocate being profligate with electricity;) but as you are spending/using so little couldn't you use temporary heating sources or something occasionally to up your comfort levels? With health issues like yours it would be money well spent. Sorry, don't mean to be preachy but I know what it's like to feel really cold:eek:

I think it was Homebase, someone found one of those free standing storage heaters reduced to silly money and it only costs 5p a day to use for electricity. Worth looking around for those.

Aesop

carbootcrazy what have you got left? Is it worth listing on gumtree? You never know who might want it?

Aesop

I sold an old broken laptop on ebay, I made sure the listing clearly stated for spares and parts, as broken. And description said broken for 7 years, for spare and parts. Someone bid and won and hasn't paid :mad: I take it they didn't read the description which clearly states for spares and parts and now no longer wants it.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

was hoping for the sale so I could get my haircut before xmas. There is a local hairdressers who do model days for £10.

Aesop

Has anyone else found that quidco bespoke offers no longer has an estimated payable date next to it?

Looking at my account yesterday, stuff was supposed to go payable which would have helped with xmas pressies and none of it now has a date, all with client and apologies from quidco.....:mad:

another bites the dust I take it.
