~Make upto £10 a day May 2018~

Well done to anyone who is still making money and hope you all enjoyed the long weekend.

I am on half term this week so really need to spend some time trying to make some extra pennies, however I have lots of other stuff which also needs to be done so not sure how far I will get.

I sold 2 handmade cards on Friday from a box at work which has been there at least 3 years. Only £2 but better than nowt. Also have £5 tsb reward to add so total now £264.78

My money making has ground to a halt, sadly. I'm not too worried though as this has been my best month ever:j. Sadly the income sources were one-offs and I doubt I'll ever make such a lot of lovely money again:(


I didn't do any boot sales over the Bank Holiday (when they probably would have been really profitable) as we had some social commitments that we couldn't get out of:(. They were as boring as we expected they'd be but our duty has been done for another year:j.


I hope you enjoy the rest of your half-term, shariann. Try to find a bit of time to do something really relaxing so your batteries get recharged:beer:

Awoken very early this morning by the mother of all thunderstorms and rain beating on the bedroom window. Already had a cup of tea and as I was checking my emails I was delighted to see an opt-in offer from eBay for 1% final valuation fees and free listing for up to 100 items:j. Unfortunately it only lasts for 2 days until the end of the month so it looks as if I've got my work cut out to take advantage of this offer. Knowing how much I hate listing on eBay it's not going to be a fun couple of days:eek:. Going to go for it though just with with higher-value items to maximise my profits. Sadly, I don't have anything particularly expensive left to sell but every little helps, eh?;)


OH is planning to do some gardening/outdoor house maintenance today that involves my help so with a bit of luck the rain will continue all day and I won't be needed after all;)

Evening

Had a really busy day today helping with the business. Feeling a bit flat again and emotional.

Thanks for the Ebay tip cbc and good luck with your listings. I!!!8217;m not sure I will get anything listed tomorrow but you never know. I will get paid tomorrow though and should be getting a pay rise back dated to 1st April. Don!!!8217;t think it will be much but every little helps. I seem to have spent loads this week but have nothing to show for it and it felt like the month was never going to end!

One day left to make some more money. Good luck everyone x

Evening all - sorry I've been gone a while,few issues that have led to me absence. Stopped posting my MB'ing daily earnings as I felt like it was unwanted, and not really what the purpose of this topic was for, and I'm currently not making any extra money any other way.

Enjoyed my week away as much as possible given the circumstances, got back Sunday gone and straight back into a stressful week at work. Think I'm finally accepting that my marriage is on the rocks after 9 relatively happy years - we've been together 15 years now, half my life!! I've tried everything I can, but I'm at breaking point now, I hoped our week away would do us good, but if anything it just made matters worse. Suggested today that we seek marriage-counselling, but think it fell on deaf ears, I don't think she realises truly how I feel and doesn't think the situation is as serious as I think it is. All in all I'm feeling quite low at the moment.

So sorry to hear about your relationship problems Mike. Life can be pretty difficult and maintaining a happy marriage with young children is more of a challenge than most people realise. I really hope you can work through your problems together. Good luck

:rotfl:So, I am wide awake at stupid o’clock again despite being off work this week and able to have a bit of a lie in!

Just checked my bank and my pay has gone in. As I thought the pay rise is nothing to get excited about :rotfl: Extra this month is £35.69 but that is for April and May. With the change in the tax threshold in April it is probably about £20 a month which is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick but will be swallowed by council tax and water increases etc. Oh well, things could be worse. We are due to have a meeting about our job roles when we go back next week. I have been taking far more responsibility than I am paid for since my boss has been ill and I am hoping that will be recognised but with budget cuts being constantly talked about I am not holding my breath. Not really feeling in the right frame of mind to look for another job but that might be what I have to do over the summer. Although I love the long holidays with my kids all grown up I don’t really need them anymore so might be time for a change. We will see.

Time for a cuppa I think

shariann, did you get the eBay invitation email? I was under the impression that the offer I mentioned was just for people who received the email which needed to be activated. I know others on here have mentioned offers on no selling fees or very low ones in the past but on investigation I wasn't eligible for them:(. Not sure how they select people for these things but I was lucky this time:j.


Managed to get 17 things listed yesterday and was drained by the time I got to bed very late:o. Had lots of camera problems, couldn't find the various connection 'bits' and spent longer searching for them than for items to sell:eek:. I made a start with things that were flat enough to scan on the scanner. All camera problems sorted eventually though and still about 8 more things to list. I'm doing them all BIN to avoid that horrible mammoth packing and posting session at the end of an auction if they all sell;)


Congratulations on the pay rise:T. I hope you're finding a bit of time this week for some 'me time'. You work so hard and have been through a lot of emotional times recently and deserve a good break:beer:.

Really sorry to read your post, Mike. Welcome back by the way, we've missed you.


I've no advice to offer, I've struggled through an unsatisfactory relationship for 40 years:o. I know in my case the best option would have been to walk away and I thought about it many many times. I still couldn't bring myself to actually do it though. I had no children so my scenario was different but once you have to consider what's best for a family the whole situation must be incredibly difficult.


All I can do is send hugs your way and hope you can find a way through this that is in the best interests of all of you. Please keep posting whether you make money or not. Take care:kisses3:
