    Hi Gemmzie

    Thanx for the update, but you've scared the life out of me, putting me down for platinum instead of gold, now the only dilemma is, do I stay there and hope to reach it, or do I stick to wanting gold, which is what I had planned to upgrade to, re post 933. Not sure now lol. Decisions, decisions. Well done to you too, it's great, isn't it! Such a buzz, what do you think?

    Cheers

    Thanks Gemmzie. I sold 34 items on ebay today (was off sick last week) so have managed to add just under £200 to my total, delighted! Don't stand behind me in the post office queue tomorrow, I'll be a while
    Thanks for the advice Martin! :money:

    Well I have just added my last big lump of money for a while thanks to weekend work done by OH which has now come to an end. From now on it is going to be any money I can get from survays, clicks and ebay etc. Never mind - I never expected to get past bronze, so any more I manage from now on is already a huge bonus! Well done everyone else - it is great to see totals steadily rising!

    Cheers

    Had another rubbish month :mad: Total at 8th April is £182.57

    Got £2.37 interest on OC account yesterday so now total is £184.94.

    Got tomorrow off work as I worked Saturday so I'm going to have a look at play trade as I haven't tried that yet and get things together for a car boot sale and see if it's worth doing one - think I've got enough stuff - and then find one to do as I haven't done one since we moved house and the one I did last time is a bit far away now, won't do it yet, give it a few more weeks - and also got to persuade OH to get up that early on a Sunday - why can't we have civilised car boots round here :rolleyes:

    I'm getting pretty close to a cheque on You Gov and need to keep doing with daily clicks - onwards and upwards.

    Not much activity for me this month. Did sell a couple of bits on ebay but not transferred from paypal yet so won't count that till I do. Banked £50 of coins 1 x£2, 1 x£1 and 1x50p. Also, 28p interest brings my running total to £340.72.
