A few weeks ago I blogged my boot sale haul, and here I am to let you know what has sold on eBay since then, and how much I’ve made. Purchases: MAC eyeshadow bought for £1.50. Not sold yet 3 Benefit, 1 Burt’s Bees and 1 Too Faced make up items bought for £2. The Benefit Erase Paste sold for £6. The others are yet to sell. Barbie camera bought for 50p – not listed
This past weekend has been a busy one – it was free eBay listing (I don’t always blog about free listing so be sure to follow me on Twitter) and I was looking after Tony’s 7 year old niece for a full day on Saturday. But despite that, I was determined to go and visit a car boot sale as a buyer, especially as it had been tipping it down the weekend before so I
As you all know, I love boot sales! Both buying and selling, I think they’re a great way to spend a few hours outside at the weekend, never mind making money!

I really hate food shopping. Mostly because I’m aware of how much things have increased in price, but also how buying in bulk isn’t always cheaper. I check everything to make sure I get the best
A friend of mine recently sold something on eBay, where the maximum postage she was able to charge was £6. So imagine her surprise when she arrived at The Post Office to post said parcel to find that it was going to cost her a massive £12.85! But what are the Royal Mail alternatives? Royal Mail changed their prices in April 2013, and whilst the price of stamps and large letters remained the same, parcels
We’ve been spending too much money lately. Story of my life! It has been a very long haul between jobs and whilst things are manageable, they have been extremely tight. We have a buffer in our joint account, but this buffer has been damaging to us because we think nothing of nipping to the One Stop we live opposite and spending £6-£10 on junk – a bag of crisps we fancy, some fruit bars on
