    well done on the camera. that was good.
    my currant job is a early years worker for a childrens centre. the new job is called "nursery nurse!" but it is working with the health visitors weighing babies and delivering post natal groups it is a step up from what i do now but it is less hours. 15hrs a week might be able to get 16 so i can claim working familt tax. i currantly am contracted to do 16hr but do 19 hrs a week.
    it is a bit of a scary leap because i find group work quite challanging and very scary but what the hell it is more money and less hour. it is a great oportunity i am going to go for it and apply.
    to be completly honest since i have been single i find it very hard to make big choices. but i am going to apply now and i can always say no if they offer it to me and it doesn;'t fit in can't i.
    also a bit scary i have listed 38!!!! items on e bay i did spread the ending out a bit but i think i might be busy for the next 10 days.!!

    i spent a summer putting my things on ebay a few years back, I made about £100 but I found it SO time consuming!

    But judging on what you guys are saying I may give it another go, it will be good to get rid of junk and if i can make some money at the same time!

    I've also read a bit about online Bingo - is it really possible to make any money on these? I've always thought it was hopeless and addictive all the online gambling etc?

    i don't find the bingo or betting adictive. but the roulette i love!! to much so try to limit or avoid!! my advice is if you think you will get hooked don't play as you will lose money not make it

    Online bingo is fine if you just use the free initial deposit , its when u start betting ur own money that it gets dangerous, just know when to stop and its fine.
    I'd go for that job if I were u jen, like you say you can always turn it down if offered. More money, less hours- more time for ebay LOL!

    :hello:

    With regards to ebay i have just discovered ebay turbo lister. Its a free download by ebay that makes things so quick in listing (its all done on one page, and you can save the items as a template in case you have more to sell etc.). It has halved the time i spend listing. ;)
    Debt: just my mortgage :D

    Hi everyone

    Everyone is doing brilliantly, well done!! Hopefully seeing all you list stuff on ebay and making money will give me a kick up the bum to start listing some stuff!!

    I have updated my totals today as have now been paid, i haven't been able to knock a lot of this month due to paying out £500 for my driving intensive course which I'm going to be doing in June.

    Been entering lots of comps tonight, hopefully i might win something this month that i can list on ebay and put towards my debt.
