    Ooh it's all started. :j :j

    Off to sort myself out a new sig and develop a plan of action - need the amazon/gm sales fairy to visit again I think as sales have slowed (well stopped :rolleyes: )

    Have about £50 owing for 4 mystery shops I did over the weekend so that'll come in at the end of the month which is a start when that arrives.

    Good luck everyone - here's to the next 7 months :T

    I got a christmas card from my Gran today..........she'd made a complete mess of my address which is why it took nearly two weeks to get to me! Anyways, there was a £20 cheque inside so I will use that to start off!

  • Hello, is it too late for me to join? I've been too shy/lazy so far... Have never sold anything on Ebay or Amazon, though I have a pile of stuff to get rid of and really want to generate some extra money. This could be the kick I need!
