    well done amy i might list a few more things later some vouchers and a bit of clothes!
    funny the two non payers i had on ebay were both new. i hate to say it but i might state bidders with 5 feedback or more only. sounds bad but i had to do second chance offers which cost me more listing fees!
    got one more second chance offer on the go then i am sorted.
    i have a few items on there but should be all done by monday then i can take £80 out of ebay and add to my totals!!!

    who else is on the make £10 a day thread?

    Oh dear Amy-hope you have managed to sort out the aftermath of the cat attack!!
    Jen, hope you manage to sort out the tickets, if no is there anyone local to you that would like to go that could buy them off you? would it be worth travelling there to pick tem up and give to someone else? or would cost not be worth it? Well done on your ebay stuff-£80 thats brill!!!
    Just had £78 cheque for jewellery at last so will update my sig now (cant wait til it clears!!) other shop reckons they have posted theirs as well so hopefully early next week should be another £70 ish.
    I dont do the £10 a day challenge, did think about it but too confusing with 2 threads!!

    yes i haven't put much on the £10 a day thread. it moves to fast people tend to put on what they have made and there isn;t much coversation or support. but it is interesting to see if i can make an extra £300 a month!!! i would have said no to be honest but i am half way there!!!

    if i have to collect the tickets my self i can;t collect them till 1 hour before the performance. i think we would just have to go and see it. and i need my credit card to collect them and no one is having that for the afternoon!!!
    i will see if i can pay the extra to get them sent they cost me £33.25 i should be able to get the money back on e bay and maybe some profit!

    Hi MM

    oOo well done on the cheque, and fingers crossed the other one hurries up.

    Yeah i have just finished tidying up. The boys are sound asleep now, look like little angels! :rotfl:

    I went onto alliance and leciester website to see how much roughly i could borrow for a mortgage.

    It said if i had £7K in savings (which i should hopefully have next year) i could get a mortgage for £110K. :eek: I checked not so long ago and got told £80K. So god knows whats going on there. You never know, next year if the prices go down a bit i may be able to buy my own house without going through a shared ownership scheme! :confused: Never know.

    Im a member of the £10 a day thread. I look at it every now and again, and sometimes post but like Jen says it does move very quickly.

    I saw at the end of the last one they got everyone to say how much they had made adn it was shocking how much extra everyone had made.

    Good luck with the tickets jen!

    Amy thats sounds great about the mortgage, would be brill if u could have the house all yours instead of shared ownership scheme.

    Blimey those totals are impressive!!

    Those totals are mad arent they??

    Yeah it would be so much better to have it as mine. You never know my salary might increase (im still on my probationary period and I think they go up in December), and the house prices might go down.

    :j

    Would be great if i could... it would mean i could do what i wanted with it.
