  • Thank you Madusa, that made me laugh about selling OH's guitars 😅 I had 8 at one time (!!!), I am now down to 2 as I sold another one yesterday, for £150. I find them hard to part with but if they aren't being played they are better off giving  someone else some enjoyment and bringing in some £££ for me! (Plus freeing up the spare bedroom lol😅)
    Also made £50 from online games so I have smashed through the target this month, which is making up for last month!

    Any chance you can have a chat with my husband? Apparently they're not all the same. 🤷‍♀️
    Doesn't help that he fixes them for a living so I'm never quite sure how many are his. 

    Covid is rife in our house, so this week we are focusing on getting better and not made any extra, sadly.

    So have managed £29.83 so far, not exactly 10 a day but better than nothing. Includes a survey cashout, 2 sainsboro cash ours and chock - interest on savings, so that 10 is staying where they are. I don't have much to sell these days so will have to be creative.
    Isa help to buy: 400/3000 13%
    Emergency fund: 100/1000 10%
    HMRC tax payments: 0/388 due before Jan 31, which I think I can do.

    Prolific - £10.14 today - straight off credit card balance - I've worked out that will save me 20p in interest this month.

    Well done, Hummingbird, that's an awesome total.  

    Sugar-walsh - hope you all feel better soon.

    Ditty - definitely better than nothing & more than me!

    Thanks @Madusa. Slight improvement today. Used my energy to advertise a coupke of bits of furniture I had bought via auction with a plan to use in my kitchen. The plans have now changed, I've sold one piece and made £150 profit. So finally started this month.

  • I forgot I had a mandolin stashed away in the spare room with the guitars, it has fetched £40.00 Also made another £40 profit from online games
     I realised I had added an item to my total twice🤣 I thought I was doing very well lol. Anyway I have taken it back off then added these new bits and amended total x

  • Received £12 from Vintage Cash Cow for a box of bits and bobs
    Does anyone else use this company? I wouldn't recommend sending them anything hugely valuable or sentimental but I just had some old costume  jewellery in my bedroom drawer. I've got more I can send off, they send you free postage labels and the customer service seems very good so far
