there used to be a long list of companies you could recycle ink cartridges with, now finding it difficult to find companies, as many seem to have stopped. Also a lot won't accept from certain types.0 -
I too tried to sell dvds on ebay even for just £1 and they didn't sell. Even charity shops are struggling I think, amazon definitely worth a go though.
People were selling DVDs for 25p each at a car boot sale I was at on Sunday -- they were getting sold though, I think it may have been kids' ones mainly.0 -

Only took a couple of minutes though. I'm miles away from a payout on there at the moment so not adding the 20p to my total until I get it. Is anyone else being accepted for studies on there at the moment or is it just me that's ineligible for what few there are:(? Even 20p seems great in the circumstances;)
They are few and far between at the moment, but this morning I did 2 at about 10am, one for £2.50 and one for £0.75. Amusingly one was about hoarding!

Thank you Aesop and carbootcrazy for the little pep talk! I need to stop focusing on making £5 everyday and look at the bigger picture. I know once I'm back at work I'll can pick up some overtime so that'll help on the coming months. Ive decided everything I "earn" will be put in a pot and used towards Christmas since I've not saved for it this year so that's an incentive.
I can add £2.18 to my total today from Qmee. £13.18/£155. :-)0 -

My old bank sent someone else's letter to me behind my own letter. So I complained as they have breached data protection act legislation, and they are sending me £75 compensation :j :j
I have also sent the letter to the correct person explaining what happened so they can put their own complaint in.0 -

So I'm clutching at straws here! Can I use shop discount towards my target? I had £40 shop vouchers from my birthday and bought something today for £40 with 10% discount, saving me £4.00, which I got back in cash.0

I've been really lucky today after nothing for ages. I too have had a 20p one but then also one for two pounds and one for 1.50.
Re ebay postage charges, I always incorporate the postage fee into the price and then offer free postage, it makes no difference to costs now that ebay take commission on the postage too :mad: and saves any ill feeling.Make £25 a day in April £0/£750 (March £584, February £602, January £883.66)
