    Made a joking tweet about being inside a mushroom cloud after using tosco "low-dust" cat litter (the dust doesn't bother me, I only bought it because the odour control one was sold out) and now they're messaging me asking for details so they can give me money, which is nice.

    Well done! I always wait til I get to £20 on Prolific to save on the fees!
    I'm working on the £20 with Prolific, up to £17 I think. First time I didn't realise about the fees, so took out £5, then wondered why it was less than I expected. I'm counting surveys when I do them, rather than when I cash out.

    My listing binge last weekend is paying off slowly, another £12.26 earned from auctions finishing today. I've got bids on some finishing tomorrow too. Shame my lounge looks like the aftermath of a jumble sale though! Need to find a home for the bags full of listed but not sold items, as some of them might take a while to sell I fear.

    Some people count as they go along. I count as it hits bank/paypal.

    Lots of people getting little bits from Geo as they shutting down. Nice that they are refunding the money lots of places wouldn't.

    I've had a rubbish month so far - one of my closest friends lives 5hrs drive away. Her mum died. Funeral in a week or so. No money... might need a loan off mum... I've asked her twice in the last month and she's said no but hopefully she might relent as it's for petrol to get to a funeral.

    Nothing to declare but have a Q for the peeps who use shopprize.. what's the reward for hitting 7500 and is there a paypal option?

    Well what an interesting day I have had.

    I had some time to myself this morning so I went back through old 'boost your income' threads and found one on webuybooks.com, i don't generally go for sites like these as i know they buy to sell for profit which is what I do so I know i can make more than they offer, however books aren't my forte so i thought i'd read into it. Out of curiosity I downloaded the app and when i was at my parents house started scanning the codes of my mothers books, most are new so were coming in at £1/£2 each, she then told me that she mainly buys from a particular charity shop which do a deal on all books 4 for £2 so in theory I was doubling my money on most of the books.

    I decided to pop over to said chairty shop and see what I could do, within 10 minutes of picking up books and scanning them i had 4 books for £2 which webuybooks.co.uk were offering a total of £8.40 for. So i bought them.

    On the drive home I was thinking about ways to get books for free, then it hit me, I am active and well known on a fair few local Facebook selling groups so I pulled over and put up some posts asking if anyone was getting rid of any job lots of books for free which i could have for a 'project', within minutes a lady contacted saying she had been to her mums that day and picked up 'tonnes; of books she was going to take the the tip and i would be doing her a favour by taking them off her hands!!! :eek: I shot down to hers on the way home (which was on route and must have picked up about 400+ books! I scanned each and every one when i got home and racked my total to £20 on webuybooks.co.uk.

    The other 350+ books which webuybooks wouldn;t buy are going in charity shop donation bags to my local salvation army which give me a £2 per full bag voucher to use in any one of their stores, i estimate i have about 25 bags full, so thats £50 worth. I haven't cashed anything in yet but in theory i've made a very quick £70 today!!! :T:T:T

    Im going to deal with what books i have now but in the meantime will keep bumping my posts on the groups and see what comes up!! :j

    When i woke up this morning i seriously didn't think i'd have thought up another way to make some extra money!!! :D:D:D

    Has anyone had any experience with them? All the reviews I have read are positive!!

    Sorry to hear about friend's mum, hugs. Hope Mum lends you petrol money.

    Only £5 amazon at the moment on shopprize but extremelyfast payout
