Return of the Girl Racer

GirlRacer_2

Well I've got 8 items listed on e-bay and only one watcher on one item. Still not sold anything on Amazon either.

Really don't feel like going to work today. Think I overdone it in the garden and am aching all over. The fact that it's just me and the witch in work isn't helping and I really feel like phoning in sick. Have never done it before and I probably won't do it today but I really feel like it.

What a disappointment. Still not sold anything on Amazon and still only got one watcher on e-bay

Day turned out not so bad afterwards. I kind of pretended I was sitting in work on my own and just got on with things so I didn't have to have meaningless conversations with the witch.

Nothing in the mail today either which is a real let down. Why is it when we owe banks money we have 7 days to pay yet when they owe us they can take forever!

Have just checked my Quidco payout for this month and it stands ar £14. Not a fabulous amount but its better than nothing.

Mum has said she'll pay for chips from the chip shop for mine and DS's tea tonight as I'm popping her over to her friends, so the spaghetti bolognaise will be for tomorrow's lunch now.

Hiya GR
Hope you have a better Tuesday hun. I'm sure you will.
At least we had a bit of nice weather and you got some gardening done...I bet it felt good, not the aches mind you. Supposed to be nice on Wednesday, so they say.
Hey at least you've still got a small trickle of money coming in. I've got my £10 from Amazon to be paid in and that's all!!
Steady trickle going out of my account though. I'm nearly £200 up on this time last month though so that's not too bad. As long as I keep trying to be a bit careful...it's so hard though.
Have a great day GR.

Good morning all, good to see you back Diz. Good news on being better off this month compared to this time last month. Set yourself small targets. The amount you have left to pay now is nothing compared to what you had at the beginning of the year. You've really done very well.

Logged onto online banking this morning and Tax credits have paid me £116 yay! Updated my annual pack last week over the phone so they must have underpaid me. I'm hoping that my payments are going to increasenow. You know what its like a little bit of extra money is always welcome.

Tried to log onto e-bay to see how my items are doing but for some reason I can't get on there. Will have to check them when I get home tonight.

I wonder whether it would be toomuch to ask for the Halifax cheque today????

Catch you all later, have a fab day x

Home from work and the weather is cold and very wet. Managed to phone the Halifax this morning and they told me my cheque was authorised last Thursday. It's making its way toward me via snail mail. Have also sold something on Amazon, only got £2 for it and will need to spend 60p on postage so thats a profit of £1.40. Not too bad considering I was selling the item in the car boot for 10p.

Have decided to sign up for the make £10 per day in May challenge so I'm hoping that every sale will count. Am not going to include my Halifax money though as that wouldn't be fair. So this weekend I'll be have a megga listing session on Amazon and E-Bay!

Good luck with the challenge. Im running out of things to sell.

GirlRacer_2

Well I've not got much left either but I'mgoing to be ruthless. Am going to try and clear the hard drive of my old laptop and see if I can get it to go. If so I'll try and get shot of that on e-bay.

GirlRacer_2

Well I cleared the drives of my laptop last night and listed it onto e-bay for 10 days. Am hoping it'll get me started for the make £10 a day in May challenge. Also had my pay today and am £6 better off, thank you Mr Taxman!

Somebody has made a bid for one of my items on e-bay, it's only £2 but its a start. I wouldn't have got anything for it whilst its sitting in the cupboard.

Have checked Quidco and an only expecting about £14 this month but it'll all go towards the challenge.

Have packed my Amazon parcel up and am gonna post that off this morning. Hope you all have a good day, I'll report back later about any millions I make e-baying.

There was me getting all excited about an increase in tac xredits, it actually comes to £5 per week, better than nothing I suppose.

GirlRacer_2

Good evening all.

Have managed to get lots of bubble wrap from work today ready for all the items I'm going to sell on e-bay over the BH weekend!!!

Had a pile of junk mail today, absolutely none of it was worth keeping, all been shredded now. Got paid today and had an extra £6 so that's acceptable, it goes into the DD account so I won't be seeing it again.

No sales on Amazon today and only one bid on my e-bay item which closes early hours of Saturday morning. Not a massive money-making week for me so far but I am trying really hard.
