  • Just sold a book on Amazon about Christmas customs and folklore:rotfl:. Why on earth would anyone want that at this time of the year?

    Going to a friend's funeral tomorrow morning so off now to see if I can do something with my hair (I can barely see out from under my self-cut fringe at the moment:o) and iron the only suitable clothes I have to wear for this particular funeral. My late friend's family are very traditional (although my friend certainly wasn't)and they've made it known that they'd appreciate people wearing black or something subdued.

    As my Mother used to say on such occasions, ''Nobody will be looking at you'', but I don't want to turn up looking like a scarecrow:eek:
  • No Money making to add for me but I did get some good news about my debt, I got a reply from Natwest saying they would accept my reduced payment amount and freeze the interest for 12 months. Strangely it was only referencing the one Natwest Credit Card and we have two so I will have to wait and see what they say about the other one and see what Barclaycard say but 1 out of three is a good start, if they all agree we may actually have a good chance of reducing the debt quite a bit over the next year fingers crossed x

  • Sold an ebyegum item to net about £5.60 today, Lost $1 at the poker and tracked down that ancient Bank account. I just have to prove who I am now, but he knows I'm genuine - there is about £106 to bring back into circulation after 25 ish years ! - That £100 has earned me a meagre interest amount - but boy the fact it existed has changed my entire life ! and Now I can have it back ! :D

    It's been a good day ! :)

    Another £36 for me from facebay, not bad considering I was away all weekend! Tomorrow is my non-working day so hoping to hit the listings again tomorrow. That takes me over my original target, to £317 :T:j
    WOW - That's fantastic :T :T :dance: :T :T

    whoop whoop whoooop - i just did something i have been meaning to for aaaaaages - phoned my electric company to query the rate i am paying. Not only did i manage to reduce the rate but i also got a £30 bonus meaning i will have saved £126 for this over the year :D:D I am delighted with that result and will be moving that amount into my savings!

    This brings my total for the month now up to £271 :D
    That's a super result FC :T


    Makes you wonder just how many are being over-charged in the country eh and it's probably those that can least afford it - it really makes me cross :mad:

    I know it is really late in the month but can I join you? I'm getting rid of loads of stuff because we are moving house in July and are thinking of not taking anything with us (it is an international move so really expensive). I have stayed seeking via Facebook sites locally although I'm also a member of eBay and another country specific selling site.

    I'm pretty sure I can do 10 a day, hopefully more.
    I already made 67 by selling some children's books and and a couple of bits of kitchen stuff.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Woke up to £6 eBay sales this morning. Got 78 listings done in the end. 4 have already sold. So currently got 145 items for sale :eek:

    Pared down my DVD collection to a single (long) shelf. So getting rid of about half of them because I almost never watch my DVDs? There are very very few films I will want to watch more than once.

    Also put up a couple of the more expensive books, some accessories, and the rest of the records so fingers crossed.

    That puts me at £196.22 for the month. Barely above target now after a super slow few days.
    Gosh - that's a mega amount of listings Lex :j


    Oh I wish I had things to sell :( Don't have anything that I want to get rid of and, if I do, they are generally low value or worn out and go to the chazzer :rotfl:
