£34.21 added into our OP savings pot today thanks to my Etsy earnings. My Etsy shop has been so quiet these last few months so I really need to find time to try and work on it as it used to provide me with a nice little amount each month but now it is barely anything. I'm still grateful for the £30 odd pound though as every pound counts

It is funny how you have to work on them to sell, although you have other listings. Brilliant about the 93.64%. I am placing a bet you will reach 100% by the first week of September.craftingmad said:£34.21 added into our OP savings pot today thanks to my Etsy earnings.

Yeah I cannot quite make out what is going on with Etsy at the moment - it is much harder work than it used to beHighlanddream said:
