    Well the weathers not too bad today so hopefully I'll get a few hours out the garden, may even be able to dry some clothes on the line.

    Logged onto online banking and Amazon has paid me £25.05 so that's been added to my May challenge, also got a few items finishing on e-bay today. Got a few watchers but nobody has placed a bid yet. Hopefully there'll be a frantic race duing the next hour. AM still scouring the house for more goodies that I can list.

    Going to be an expensive day today, DS is off to town to buy a PS3 game and DD is buying some stuff for her sylvanian families house. Am going to make the effort to pop to co-op and get the ingredients for the hobnobs, even if I don't make them today I will do them over the weekend.

    Will post an update on the e-bay sales in a little while.

    Have got 14 items listed on E-Bay at the moment all finishing at various times over the next 7 days. Am hoping I can find a few more items tomorrow that can also be sold, will have a good sort out.

    Managed to get some of the garden done today. Didn't do as much as I would have liked but did a little. Just signed up for a bingo site via moneyback madness and won £8, and got £15 for signing up. Have got £25 in that account now and need £35 to make a withdrawal. Will have a good look tomorrow and see if I can make extra money so that I can cash that in.

    Good morning all. Have been a busy little bee since I've got out of bed. Washed dishes, cleaned bathroom, checked e-bay listings (got 2 items finishing today, but not much interest), packed up an amazon book that I've sold, signed up to writers share and am now going to do the ironing :(

    I need it to be too cold to go out the garden today, if the weather's nice I leave the housework and do the garden, I can't seem to get the balance right to do both!

    I'll be popping on here throughout the day to see how everyone's getting on so hope you all have a good day. GR x

    I'm back. Managed to get the housework done AND been in the garden for a few hours. Really please with what I managed to get done.

    Got 2 items ending on e-bay in the next 2 items and have got quite a few watchers for the other 12 items I've got listed. I don't think any of the items are going to make me big money (apart from the laptop) but it is going to be worth my while selling them.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker PPI Party Pooper
    Well done on being productive I pretty much stopped after my morning push. Nevermind theres always tomorrow.

    Well Im probably going to break even on ebay 1.15 fees for April and a batch of clothes went for 99p. Could have got more at car boot. Got a big box of hard back books so thinking of a car boot. Looks like they are 1p on Amazon. Debating Green Metro... but want shot of the books really not enough space for everything.

    Good luck with your sales.

    Well neither of the e-bay items have sold and I'm really disappointed. I've relisted them and also added a few more items. Currently for 16 items for sale so hoping something will go.

    Have sold something on e-bay making me £5.20. Have added it to my total. Managed to dig out a few things last night to sell, a hair straighteners and some swimming arm bands and am constantly racking my brains for other things to sell. Have got a waterproof all in ones upstairs that bikers use so I may have a look at that later and see if its in one piece and get shot of it.

    Have listed a few more items on e-bay. Currently selling 17 items. Surelysomething will sell. Have already had a bid for my laptop and a bid for an empty mobile phone box and a few watchers on some of my other items. Not got anything ending today so hopefully there's be some 'buy it now' sales.
