    Is that the date already! Better get cracking.

    Worked job #2 on Saturday £75 earned, plus my tips covered my petrol.

    Slightly OT but did well with yellow stickers today. Bought two carrier bags full of food for a tenner at the corner shop. On a bit of a rant there were two black dustbin bags full of food in the shops bin (I put my dogs poop in and noticed) topped off with about forty apples! I've known soft fruit, bananas and pears go a bit iffy but I've never seen an apple go off - really annoys me. It's not a one-man-band either, it's a big national chain of shops - some people can't afford their food bills and they can waste perfectly food like that. The sooner they do away with all these use-by/sell-by dates and fine big stores for wastage the better! :mad::mad::mad:

    Totally agree. And rather than bin they should be allowed to donate to homeless chsrities, shelters etc

    Yes someone suggested to me to fix iten sell everything and include pandp in price. They swore it worked for them. And sometimes it does for me. Think most of my sales are buyitnow.

    Well done amazing start to month.

    I find fixed prices with free P&P (Include P&P in the price) sell better, I find with eBay that people impulse buy, if someone watches your auctioned item, when it comes to the three days when the auction ends, unless it's something they really want, they have forgotten about it!!

    I check eBay sold listings, see how much they're selling for, put it up for that price, plus 10% to e cheeky, add on postage (include free postage in title) add on fees etc and take decent pictures, 9 times out of 10, they sell :D

    Yes I do. Signed up other day and haven't had time to check referral board.

    I found a referral on another site and signed up. Have now started a thread on here

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/70442599#Comment_70442599

    First time I have started a thread so hope I have done it right. Nothing to add yet and I'm full of cold and have nasty cough again just in time for two weeks off work! :mad:

    OH is really low at the moment too and DD is not much better so not a happy household :( Hoping today will be a better day. Actually I'm going to make it a better day. Got a couple of vouchers for days out with DD so I will book those and still have gift card for meal out with OH that I got for Christmas so will book that this week too. Hopefully something nice to look forward to will cheer them both up.

    Time for a lemsip!

    Hi again

    Does anyone here use Gifthulk. I have quite a few codes but I am reluctant to post them on the Gifthulk board as the same people always seem to get them on there and it would be nice to get a few back occasionally. PM me if you are interested
