Jacks xxx, lol i always find your posts great! you're always so positive do you have turbo lister for ebay? makes things a lot easier

Cheers honey!

I don't have Turbo Lister cos I'm technically challenged and basically scared of it! I do use Auctiva though, so I've got a template saved that I use, and all my old listings are saved so that if I'me selling something similar in the future it's quite easy to adapt one of them for the new item.

I am coming on in the computer literacy department though so maybe I'll take another look at Turbo Lister and see if I still find it so scary! :rolleyes:

I know what you mean Jacks...I'm quickly catching up on these posts before my BF, comes back from work and yaks to me so much that I have to turn the PC off and listen lovingly to him!:A :rotfl:

Actually, he's being a bit of a frugal zealot, as am I. You should of seen him running around Morrisons last night asking the 'hot food' counter guy to reduce the bargains even more! He did too! Try it....it works:T :rotfl:

just to say that although I am not posting much on this thread, I am still doing the challenge - receipts are being kept and are added up periodically. Daily got to be too much for me to cope with :rotfl:

Hiya Hypno!

I know what you mean. I sometimes get into the slightly ridiculous situation where by the time I've posted all about maybe doing something I don't have any time left to actually DO it.

I need to do more moneysaving, earning, cooking and chasing down of deals and less time talking about it all!

Aww LOVE him! I think in that case he deserves some of your attention then honeybun.

To be fair to my hubby he is banging on about electricity suppliers and whether we should switch now or leave it a while - so it's relevant and stuff, but I'm just not getting anything done!

Is it wrong that I find moneysaving men sexy?

Go to the website at www.dialwise.co.uk and it'll give you your best codes for international calls. Maybe they are different depending on where you are calling from in the first place Or maybe the exchange was having a bad day, as they have only ever failed on me once in the past couple of years and it was a silly technical fault somewhere. Good luck

According to MSE rules (well, the nice email they sent me ) we are not allowed any animated graphics in our signatures either. In fact, I have no way of getting them there in the first place as the option is blocked. Have PMd you about how to get the smileys

Bannockburn... I've been there loads. :T In fact, I took a Furby on a photoshoot there some years ago. :rotfl: (I've done some really wacky jobs in my time )

It just struck me (slow as ever ) that the people on the thread who are making £10 a day for a month, if they were to do it all year would make £3650. This is close(ish) to £4000 a year. If they could find an extra £350.00, and then keep spending down to £4000 a year, they could almost break even.:j Maybe next year, you could have a combined thread lol :beer:

The above is something already discussed I'm aiming at getting my household living expenses down to an average £10 per day and being completely, financially 'balanced'. However, if you decide to attempt to earn the £3660 extra, please make sure you are fully aware of the tax laws. Most of mine needs to go through my accounts for tax purposes, although I'm assured that cashback or vouchers accrued through spending is non taxable. Premium Bond wins and gambling wins are also tax free. If you aren't in employment and this isn't your second job, then consider registering as fulltime self-employed, paying your own national insurance contributions (we all need some sort of basic pension) and then the £10 per day is below the tax threshold. I have a full breakdown of it for the 2006-7 year. Allowances are going up for 2008. Likewise, if you are earning this amount extra, the ISA allowance is increasing to £3,600 which means you could stash it all away and earn tax free interest on it so long as you aren't earning it in a way that is taxable. (I believe taking in a lodger is tax free up to a certain amount. )

Earning this little would also mean you'd qualify for tax credits if you were to carry on the above as your fulltime job. :cool:
