    This thread moves so quickly and there are some very impressive money making amounts already :beer:

    Only a few bits to declare - bank interest, surveys and mystery shopping total £45.02/£310. I have put together a spreadsheet to keep an accurate total and am overpaying the mortgage once the monies are received.

    Trying to get the courage to list on Ebay (as I promised I would get rid of if not sold by Sunday, although that was on the assumption that it was listed in April!)

    it will be worth it when you get the money rather than the items going to charity/tip.
  • got some bits and pieces up on ebay, and got a 5.00 sale, (not closed so might get a few more bids)
    made mum 60.00 profit on a box of books (but not my money) but very pleased with myself! and still got 4 boxes of books left to sell

    Won a competition for a bag of horse feed, worth 10.00, which should come in really handy for the winter


    Make £5.00 a day for May - £10.07/£155.00

    That is what keeps me going Aesop! Although have to confess that I took a car load to the charity shop the other day. I had had enough of the boxes sitting in the hall and the items were very hit and miss for eBay. Felt a hundred times better and am very tempted to do the same with everything else, but will try and sell everything first :)

    I know how you feel. I have started trying to sell stuff and then give it a month or so and if not attracting interest everywhere then goes to charityshop.

    yay well done
  • I can't believe how well everyone is doing so early in the month:T. Big pat on the back for everyone:beer:


    Just seen that some cashback has become payable on TCB but am leaving it for a couple of weeks (should be safe with them;)) as some more will be payable by then as well. I'm also leaving my Prolific money to mount up to £20 so I don't pay fees. I don't let money mount up in a lot of sites though as I'm a bit wary now, thanks to Aesop's warnings


    Sold 2 books last night on Amazon, already posted them but money probably won't arrive until start of next week. Why it takes Amazon 3-5 working days I don't know:(.

    Well, I've had an epic couple of days. I listed s load of furniture on our local Facebook selling site and got rid of almost all of it, at amazing prices. I must say I am amazed at what people will buy - I even managed to sell of some house plants that I no longer can be bothered to look after!!
    Total is 848, I'm staggered.

    Anyway, I also did some invigilation which will pay out next month and I still have some more furniture to sell.

    Fantastic!

    North of corfu..........we went just for a week last September and was so nice booked straight away for a two week stay. A week is just not long enough.

    Where are you going in July?

    We'e off to Tenerife, for 2 weeks as well! I always feel that one week is never enough.

    I've always wanted to try Corfu, I'm sure you will have a lovely time!

    Just caught up with the thread, seems like I haven't stopped since the weekend!

    Welcome to all the newbies, some fantastic totals already for the month.

    Aesop I'm so pleased for your refund. You really do deserve it, especially for all the help you give others :D

    I listed 15 items on ebay, over the weekend, so far one has sold giving me a profit of £5.55 - at least its a start.

    I'm upping up my swagbucking, as really want to cash out a decent amount this month, last month I was a bit lazy!

    Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine
