    Thanks Taxi, I'm certainly trying my best to get some savings behind me.

    Your not doing too badly yourself, I often keep a check on your progress through your diary.

    This is the first time I've tried Amazon, I wasn't at all confident initially but it is so easy. I've listed loads more in the hope that I can clear some more space on the bookshelf.

    Hi GR, sorry I haven't been on the forums for a few days it's been busy at work & home. Wow what a total, well done on that. Happy Mothers day. You have started off March in extraordinary fashion. Well Done on Amazon you'll get rid of those books in no time. x

    Thanks Racer

    Taxi - e-bay terrifies me as well, it seems quite complicated but Dizzy who posts on my diary is having a go at it at the moment.

    Racer, glad to see you back, hope all is well with you.

    Happy Monday to you all. Well I went to bed early last night as I was sooooo tired and as a result I was up early this morning :( Checked my Mutual Rewards points and I hade 2809 and I need 3000 to cash in £30. Have just signed up with Snapfish - even though I probably won't use it, just so I can cash in my points, get the cash and pay it into ISA. What a wicked woman I am.

    Made some bread yesterday afternoon and have made some sandwiches for work with it. It's absolutely lush!!!!! Got very little planned for today other than posting my Amazon parcels off and going to physio this morning with DD again.......

    If anything happens today I'll be sure to update you all later. Have a good moneysaving day.

    GR x

    A bit of a boring start to the week but I have sold another book on Amazon. I seem to be on a roll at the moment with them. Don't think it's going to make me millions but it's certainly clearing some space.

    Hi GR
    Are you still feeling tired? I've had another nap on the sofa. Golden balls was on (is that the name) and the next minute the news is on. I think we work too hard GR! Great to see you doing so well at amazon. I made around £19 ish on ebay once I'd taken off postage, fees etc so it was worth the hassle putting them on.
    Hope you're well and physio with DD went ok.

    Hi Diz, I've just posted over on your diary now. It sees likes ages since I spoke to you yet it was only yesterday. We seem to log on at different times and then I don't feel like we've had a real conversation.

    Oh well Monday is over and done with, it always appears to be the worse day of the week. I am still quite tired but not as bad as I was on the weekend.

    Hi GR...it's strange isn't it. We seem to be like ships that pass in the night and I catch you in the evening to say have a good day tomorrow..like I am now :D
    I'm going to log off in a few minutes and get an early night. I bet that's where you've gone...lol
    Aye monday almost gone. I view the week as a hill. Monday and tuesday I'm climbing up it. Wednesday I'm at the top and thursday, friday I'm making my way down to the weekend. So tomorrow I'll be almost at the top. That sounds barmy when I type it out.:D
    Have a good mse tuesday GR.
    Keep well

    Good morning all. Yes, that's where I was last night Diz, the good old land of nod.

    Well it's Tuesday and as Diz so rightly said we're all reaching the top of the hill with regards to the week. Have made a packed lunch for today so I'm still trying hard to save some money. Got a few things going on at work at the moment that are stressing me out. I've been asked to apply for a job which I enjoy doing and which will bump my pay up by £7K a year - all great you may think, BUT the job is only for a year, it'll affect my tax credits so I may not be all that better off and the hours are longer. I'm comfortable with my current job, my boss is absolutely fantastic but the one girl in my office is such a bully!!!! Oh decisions, decisions. Think I'll put it to the back of my mind for another day.....

    Hope you all have a good money-saving Tuesday.

    Well what a busy girl I've been today. Managed to transfer a spare £35 into the ISA, have sold another book on Amazon, have listed a few things more and have had my new phone so the old one is all ready to go off to Mazuma tomorrow for the £125 cheque. I seem to be on a roll today which has certainly made up for the last 2 days!
