I need help to earn and save £2000 for our son's wedding in October.

I know it's more of a longer term thing but you said you sell on eBay anyway, I sold some bottle lids and empty toilet roll inners before, people buy them for crafts and though they only sell for £5-8 every little helps if you save them up and sell like in 50's

I sold them once on eBay, but barely made any profit because postage is extortionate these days and then the high fees on Paypal and eBay. The last time I listed a huge box of them (within the last few months) they did not sell, despite repeated re-listing and ended up going in the recycling. Wished I'd saved the space- storing toilet rolls is bulky!

Mr P collected bottle tops for months for a young boy who needed a new wheelchair. He even collected them for a while after and I ended up paying them to someone else who was collecting them. We can start collecting again and see how it goes. Between our house and the holiday cottage we get lots of loo rolls so I can try collecting them. If they don't sell they are always useful for other things.

I have some old 70s foreign bank notes and coins I might get a couple of pounds on 3bay. Also found some old British coins but nothing worth anything. I did find some Euros coins I can use in connecting airports on my way to and from USA, if we go that way.

Hi, I haven't on for a while. But you are doing so well!! Great news on the cheque, that will help out a lot.

Sad to hear DS isn't well I hope you get the support that you need too.

Mr P received a letter from a credit card to say they are returning charges he incurred. I think it is around £30. I will check before I put it in my total saved.

DS2 is a little better which is a huge relief. DB has taken him out tonight. What a difference a week can make.

Good news about DS2.

You're doing well poohbear

Just wanted to say, thank you to the people that mentioned matched betting in this thread. I've read the guide on the forum a few years ago but got overly confused. Found a few websites that explained very easily with videos and in 10 days im already £650 up!

Now you have me curious. How much money did you initially have to risk? Not thinking for me but maybe for DB or even DS2 when he is well enough.

Thank you beanie, DS2 had a night out with DB and walked the 4.5 miles back home some time during the early hours.... He seems to have a little more hope. He has an incomplete ESA form which should have been in by early June. Hopefully between us all (DD has offered to help one night) we can help him to get it in.

Thank you for 'unlurking' katykicker. Mr P is now expecting other companies to get in touch and send cheques but I think he is being a little optimistic.


I need to check the lucky phone website as I had a match of some numbers but hadn't realised i needed to check daily. I am still learning...

One more sale on ebay of £4 has increased my savings a little more.

Just remember ESA questions are very focused.
Ask for an extension based on poor mental health
Has he also applied for PIP? If not he should ASAP.
Initial part of claim is done on phone & you could do it on his behalf as long as he gave verbal permission.
Also re ESA any medical evidence would be good.
Anything else just ask.
