    I'm off to bedsoon. Will say mysteryshopping is nog as exciting as it sounds. You have to register self employed and submit tax returns once a year or more often soon.


    The pay isnt all that great either.

    ahhhhhhh wrote a long post on the different things you were asking about, hit wrong key and lost it all.

    will try to reply again tomorrow to your questions, tired now.

    £20.38 saved by buying our regular dog food in bulk again. Loving this pet food website. Makes a big difference when you normally pay £38 for a monthly bag of kibble!

    Total now £126.90 for month.

    Also got another 50% off fvf for fleabay to use. That may just see me shift the last of the clutter backlog. I'll be down to the general turnaround of household stuff then, like redundant kids clothes/toys etc. Sweet minimalist heaven, here I come WOOP!

    You'll be light years ahead of me then:o.

    Try as I might I swear the clutter seems to increase the more I get rid of any:mad:. And it's definitely not new, replacement clutter;)

    I think it just looks more as a lot of it was so jam-packed into whatever hidden space I'd stashed it in (to sort out later,honest:o) that once it's released into open sight it's taken over.

    Am having a blitz in the kitchen today actually, mainly because the man is coming to do our annual oil boiler service first thing tomorrow morning. It's wonderful what embarrassment can do:eek:. It's also our recycling collection day tomorrow so once it leaves the house I know it's definitely gone. No giving it a temporary home in the sheds or garage from now on. Why do I save every plastic container that foodstuffs come in, meat trays, etc. And as for boxes that might come in handy for posting things I've sold on line........ They're never the right size for what I want to post so out they're going.

    Right, back to work:(

    I've had quite a good day today. I've resold an item that had a non-paying bidder a few weeks ago, reduced the price a little but pleased to have a paying bidder and money in the bank. I counted this the first time so will just knock off the reduction.

    I've also sold a textbook on Amazon for £45, done a Prolific study for £1.45 and a mystery shop for £10.

    Monster Pet Supplies - they have a good range of brands on there and offer discounts on some types by buying say 2 x 15kg bags of kibble - it lasts our 2 labs 2months that way and shaves a tenner off our usual price per bag. Make sure you check cash back too as I always get around £4-6 via TopCB on a £60-£75 order. There is also a discount code for new users and I think a further discount if you subscribe to regular delivery. So theres bound to be a saving in there somewhere if its your first order and they sell your usual stuff. Free delivery on top of all that if over a certain price. Quite often good offers via email also. One of the few sales emails I let into my main inbox lol.

    For us, buying huge 15kg bags of a difficult to find brand and not having to lug it home, its a no brainer :D

    Lol - its taken about 2 years to get it all gone. I really didn't even consider us cluttered prior to that - not by most peoples standards anyway, but you're right, the stuff HIDES!!! I have a 'selling cupboard' and every time I get rid and empty it, I go and refill it from around the house so that I can see and therefore be irritated enough by it, to get on with shifting the next batch. Those hidey-holes are finally getting empty now. It does take time, but it can be done. Keep plugging at it ;)
