    Well done savingholmes :T

    What was the craft item if you dont mind me asking?
    Hi - I decorated a recycled bottle with decoupage and embossing power - put a cork bottle light in it and sold it for £12. On Amazon someone is trying to sell something similar for £15. The range seems to be £12-18. I have about 20 items ready to sell - a mixture of bottle lights, candle holders and jars (with all the glass donated to me). Some is decoupage - and some is done with glass paints. I started making 6 yesterday after work and finished them this morning. I reckon they could sell to the right person for between £8 and £15 each depending on the item - if I get the interest.

    I need to photograph them ready for sale although I am considering doing a craft stall at some point. I also make a chunky bead heart today - using recycled beads from charity shops and some new beads. It's come out well. I think that could potentially sell for £15-20. I have been stock building recently and experimenting with different techniques. I also use them as low cost presents.:money:

    Sorry to hear about your injury Mike - it does sound like you should get checked at A&E. Thanks for your PM on matched betting. Will look into that next financial month.

  • Sounds great savingholmes, well done on your craft sale, and hopefully many more to come!

    I did end up phoning 111 this morning to ask for a bit of advice, but I was on hold for about 10-15 minutes with a recurring message about how busy they were, and to phone back later if it was a non-urgent issue. Good news is I'm now able to stand and put weight on the ankle - still a bit too painful to actually walk, but progress nonetheless. My wife picked up an ankle support from the pharmacy today, so I've had it raised/compressed all day, and have been taking ibuprofen which should help with the swelling.

    We're off tomorrow morning regardless - of course the laptop will be going with me :p

    I've had an excellent day today. £117.14 in total. There are some benefits to being laid up!

    Shariann - hope the news from your brother is positive and hope you had an enjoyable evening as well.

    My brother has been moved to a different hospital and is due to have an op tomorrow. Will visit later and see if there is any more news.

  • £10.50 to add from tips yesterday. :j

    Tried to take advantage of the William Hill 5000 casino bonus swagbucks thing but think Ive made a booboo :cool:

    I was sure it was £10 needed to deposit and then after joining I realised it was £15 so added another fiver but not sure if swagbucks will recognise this? Time will tell and teaches me to read things properly!!

    Not used to these sites at all but had a bit of a go on various things without really knowing what I was doing. Had a few wins on the slots and my total balance is £48.85.

    When I click on the drop down menu though it says "withdrawable cash balance £8.25 and Casino bonuses £40.60 (Buy in balance £10 and bonus balance £30.60)

    Can someone who is a bit more savvy with these sites tell me how I get ALL the money into withdrawable balance or do I need to play some more?

    Would really like to quit while Im ahead :rotfl:
