2018 Benbenandme's Next Battle

So I did my first event today, lots of learning went on, it was a great first event So when we arrived it transpired that you were meant to bring your own table :eek: My friend who has done lots of craft fayres before said she'd never known an event where they expected you to provide your own table. Anyway, we nipped to the shops and managed to pick one up reasonably and it may well be useful going forward.

It took a long long time to get going but once it did it was fine, and I ended up taking £70 today :beer: I'm really pleased with that, £14 of it was normal stock, the rest was Christmas stock :eek: :eek:

beanielou

That's great
Never heard of take your own table though!

I relisted a few items that haven't sold last week and they have just ended - one went for £2, one for £6.50 and one for £16.00 :eek: They have all been listed at least 3 times before and no interest, just shows what good a wet Sunday afternoon can do :T :T

Dorastar

Wow you're doing so well at bringing in the money, and that's a great amount to have left at the end of a month! The card selling sounds fab, well done for getting it set up and started.

benbenandme

Thanks Dorastar, things are going quite well moneywise at the minute although I've only got one more week until I'm back at school and then it will all slowdown again.

Today I have spent £38 in Sainsburys, we've just had the nicest roast dinner though

I've also won £5 on a bet, have done the ironing and have catalogued all my stock. I still need to tidy the kitchen and remake my bed. Tomorrow I need to parcel up the ebay packages,get everything sorted for my event on tuesday and maybe pop to Ikea to use my birthday voucher.

Drawingaline

All these eBay sales makes me think I should do some too. I just hate it though!

benbenandme

I know what you mean drawingaline, it is dull and a faff posting stuff, but it brings in some more pennies and it clears out some of the junk

Just won £16 on an arcade game :beer:

Quite often the week before payday I have a bit of money left and think when I get paid I'll transfer it over to my savings. Then before you know it some unexpected bill or unforeseen situation occurs and my money is swollowed up.xx

benbenandme

Yep, I know what you mean - I have spent a bit over the last couple of days, hoping nothing unexpected comes along before friday (payday).
