    I hope you're somehow managing some tlme for you Aesop. And I hope your other half appreciates all you do for him - invoicing is a nightmare, no wonder you have a stinking headache.

    Well done Carbootcrazy, that's a brilliant total. What an achievement. Sounds like it's a really good site where you are. I've done my second car boot sale in a week today. I left at 11.30 as my mother in law was treating me for lunch - which was great - and sorry to sound tight but from a money saving point of view it would have set me back around £40 if I'd have paid for the 3 of us. I did offer to pay but she wasn't having it. I also parked for free this afternoon instead of paying £1 as I usually do without thinking.

    I made £63 after my fee at the car boot sale. I'm pleased with that as it was pretty much household stuff that I was trying to shift. I made half that last week. Two in a row is enough for me. ��

    I have three items ending on eBay today. One has ended at 99p but with £3.40 postage - I think postage could be a fair bit less and the item (a headband) is broken so still not a bad result. I have a bid for £5 on one of the others and no bids on the other one - so mixed and slow, but again happy with that. I have a few Buy it Nows that I may need to lower the price on as they're not shifting.

    I am doing 2 mystery shops tomorrow and have done a fair few this week. It will all add up. I'm so glad I've stuck at it.

    Cheers all. Hope you have a lovely Sunday evening, whatever you're up to - ��

    That is amazing, CBC, I think the most I've ever made at a car boot was about £130 and that was a loooooooong time ago!

    I've only listed a couple of things on the bay of e but I have put about 50 things up on FB to see if I can sell any of it there first.

    My local FB selling page seems to be full of mostly skint people though, I put up a post looking for someone to do two hours cleaning for me and was inundated with messages but all the things for sale seem to just sink (not just mine!) It seems everyone is in the same boat!

    Listed 6 items on ebay, including several pairs of 'trashed' shoes. There's clearly a market for it as 2 of the pairs have bids on already.

    Not much else to report.

    Thanks very much for your kind wishes for a good car boot sale, Talia and Lynne:beer:

    Not been back home long, it seems ages since I was last here sitting in my chair as I had to leave home this morning at 4.45. Well worth the effort though as that boot sale is very popular and usually heaving. They weren't in a rush to boot us off the field either:j so most of us sellers just stayed until we'd had enough.

    Lovely sunny day here, not too hot though, and a nice gentle breeze after the gales of the last few days. Perfect booting weather IMO:j. Everyone seemed in a good mood and willing to spend and it was one of my best ever for profits with £204 made:eek:. I confess to splashing out £7 of the profit on a few books from the adjacent seller(for my own reading pleasure as reading is my number one hobby and I can sell them in the future when I've finished with them:T). A lot of them were in a 3 for £1 offer so I've ended up with plenty to keep me going for the next few months. Deducted that £7 from my profits which I'm considering as £197. Can't even remember a lot of what I sold, it included lots and lots of small cheap bits and bobs:o.


    So far no sales from my eBay listings:(


    Will be back after I've had a few cups of tea (my addiction:rotfl:) to see what everyone else is up to.

    What a great result CBC :T

    I have had a very unproductive few days but adding £5.71 cashback from my 123 lite account after the £1 fee and 52p from citizenme taking me to £43 so far

    I have quite a few empty ink cartridges somewhere that I was planning to send off ages ago so must find them out and get them sent this week.

    Well done to everyone who has made a little or a lot. Keep up the good work everyone xx

    Tea and books are my vices too :D

    Oh, there is, Florence, but not one you want to think about too much :eek:

    Somebody I worked with was selling some old shoes and got a very odd message asking if she'd ever squashed any bugs in them :rotfl:

    Nothing much to report but love to stop by and read all your posts, so many great ideas. Whilst being a part of this group it's made me step up my surveys as opposed to letting them linger in in my inbox. Hoping that I'll have some updates this week as expecting some bits through and have packaged up some old cartridges to send off tomorrow.

    Night all x
