    Di unsure if this will help but I organised a " boot sale" a few years back for charity in memory of a friend. Everyone brought along a table top or just sold from the back of their car and all the proceeds went to the charity. We were "given" the field for free and it fortunately had a community centre building at the side. We were allowed to use the toilets in the centre and they also opened up the bar for refreshments. It was a cracking day and we raised over £1000:)

    Do you have a local cricket club, football club, scouts club etc who would support you with the location?

    I don’t know if this is store specific, but I was in S and saw a Vodafone smart mini 7 for £25.

    Now I already have a spare phone so I don’t know why but I went to buy one.
    Took the card thing to the checkout and an SA went away to get the phone.
    She came back saying there wasn’t any, but found a similar one. It was Vodafone smart turbo 7.
    She scanned it to check the price, it was £20.

    5” screen, Android 6 it looked fine so I used £10 nectar points so paid £10 real money.

    No nfc, but I’m not bothered about that. Decent phone for £10.

    Do the elite have any recommendations for mystery shopping? What are the tax/benefits implications?



    I have had that and had to dash and find something for £3 whilst DKs kept the till alive so transaction was not cancelled through inactivity.


    DW is very poor at deleting so I have spent many happy hours (slight exaggeration) typing codes at the self service. We are down to a couple of £3, not sure how to use them - even paying £3.50 so 50p net for the lunch meal deal seems like too much for what you get....

    This morning was watching DD2 play football - not sure if the dying of hay fever is a welcome distraction from the lower back pain or not. I opted out of spinal injection on Monday because I thought back wasn't hurting any more but 90 minutes of standing show that it is still far from 100% better..

    RE Mystery shopping, keep receipts etc of the mystery shop and also the amounts for the actual shop and what fee they pay you, obviously thew shop amount isn't taxable is you need to pay this (even though you eat/keep most items). The good bit is your expenses. Your printer, part of your pc's cost, ink, paper, fuel, phone, camera, smidgeon of electricity and anything else you can think of. This will probably wipe your fees out totally :)
    If you are reasonably good at spreadsheets, this will be quite easy.
    I used to do days out with mystery shops stuck in, made the day cheaper. Meals in pubs etc are a good start to the day out, with ladbrokes etc sporadically thrown in.
