January2015

Hi everyone

I have £35 from an eBay sale that wasn't I listed something on eBay and then talking to friend about it and they offered me £35 for it. Im happy with that. No final listing fees, no paypal charges and no having to go to the post office. It's also more than I thought I would get for it.

So with my £23 nectar points, I am up to £58 at the moment

Had a constructive afternoon at the allotment this afternoon and we had a bonfire getting rid of loads of wood and old desk that is no longer required. I love having a good clear out!! :j

Dug up a few leeks and we had them for tea with some bacon in a macaroni cheese.

Also came home with three red cabbages and need to find out how to make pickled red cabbage.

On the money making front, I have the following to add:

£5 amazon swagbucks....(my pack of 10 fairy liquids have arrived and now saving amazon vouchers for a bulk buy of fabric conditioner.)

£6.85 tips

£9 moc used at sainsburys this morning.

Lots of selling being done by people:T. Well done:beer:. I love getting money for stuff I no longer want or need, plus gaining a bit of extra space in the process:j. Trouble is, the more I clear out the more what's left seems to expand and fill the space:(. I doubt I'll live long enough to achieve my dream of having a minimalist home:rotfl:


To that end though there's been a bit of progress as OH dropped some stuff off at a local charity which reuses all sorts of things and recycles them into usable items for deprived children here and abroad. They make such as craft kits out of all sorts of bits and bobs. You name it they can use it. He came home with a list of all the stuff they are wanting, an A4 sheet full of 'wants'. Things like scratched unusable CDs, video cases, men's ties, wallpaper, scraps of wrapping paper, oddments of wool, small pieces of fabric, oddments of lego etc etc. Not sure what they intend to do with it though. I can find enough bits and bobs to keep them supplied for a while;). OH was so impressed when they gave him a tour round their workshop that he's volunteered to give some of his time to help them make things.

Absolutely second your comments re all the selling - brilliantly done all the sellers. Also well done all the others making monies :dance:

I wish we had somewhere that did the recycling/reusing 'stuff', especially for children's' benefits. We do have an enterprise that turns around old tools and utensils. They have a work-shop which provides part-time work/training for several unemployed peoples and send the up-cycled things to organisations abroad, where there is a shortage of tools/money to buy tools.

I don't have many things I don't need anymore. I usually just replace things when they break down/wear out. I take anything I have that might be resold to the cs and they can recycle materials as rags. Old towels etc I take to the PDSA for animal bedding etc. I seldom buy books now, usually using the library or free downloading to my tablet.

The extension cable I ordered for DH from the amazing place went missing somehow, and they have refunded me so that's £5 less I'd saved. However, I looked on their site and ordered some better ones as they were reduced by £17 yesterday - and they arrived today - so made an extra £12 :rotfl:

I have earnings from relief work on Monday of £26.25, £3 from the pine tree peoples and another £2 from various surveys. So that's £43.25 to add altogether.

Hope you all have a super Thursday

That's a nice amount of money you made, Lynne:T. Glad the cable situation got sorted out happily and money saved too. Win-win:beer:


The recycling/upcycling place isn't all that near, about 25 miles away, but it's near enough relatively speaking when nothing's really near to where we live


There used to be a place that took in old furniture that needed some TLC and a team of people with learning difficulties were being taught how to renovate it. They turned it into really nice saleable stuff. Sadly, OH took a bookcase and small table there last week (dug out of the back of the garage, a bit tired and tatty but with plenty of life still in them) and the place was all locked and shuttered. Apparently budgeting cuts have meant these training enterprises have had to close:(. He brought them home again as they weren't wanted by the 2 charity shops he tried and he thought they were too good for the tip. We just hate throwing stuff away, even really old and past-it stuff, we always think it might be useful to somebody else. That's why we'll never be minimalist:rotfl:. It's criminal the fantastic-looking things that people just toss into the skips at the tip without a second thought.

Morning everyone. My task for today is to list on eBay/Facebook all the stuff I have brought down from the loft. If I get what I want for the items (ha ha!) I will make £85 (after ebay and paypal fees) for the items I plan to list today.

I only ever start auctions at the minimum price I will accept for items.

• I never start at 99p and then get depressed when items don't sell for what I want.
• I never put a reserve and leave buyers wondering what my reserve is - I start the price where I want it and if it does sell then I'll rethink whether I want to keep it or admit I overvalued it and sell it for less:rotfl:

I hate preparing eBay listings - puts me off listing things, but a good listing helps sell the items so it has to be worth the effort.


Also listing everything on the local facebook sales pages. Hopefully they will sell there and then I don't have fees and packaging/posting to sort out.


Fingers crossed :beer:
