    Just had a crying/throwing things rage fit over idiot problem ebayers. You don't get any problems for aaaagggeeesss (apart from npbs who don't get in touch) then they all come along at once, well 3 do!!! And in my rage I cut my finger on my computer desk and got glitter everywhere, grh! I feel like carp about it now too, for losing it over nothing :'(

    Anyways back on topic, myself and the boyfriend did a favour for a friend today and should be getting £50 for it, but I think I'm going to let him keep it all since I've been being naughty and putting some stuff in with his shopping and he's going to fix my car for it's mot.

    Apart from that nothing to add, boo!

    Need to update my sig - managed quite well last week, acquired £20 in loose change from my chap plus I pinched some of his £2 coins (I now have £72 of them:j ). Saved £1 on some shopping as I used some vouchers, also saved £15 on a new raincoat as I bought it for £20 instead of £35.

    I was away and my chap paid for 2 lots of petrol for my car as well as all meals out and camping expenses:j

    Hi All, glad to see everyone's doing ok. Had a few problems with npb's on ebay too. Including people who bid right up till last minute (and ask questions half an hour before end) then take 3 days to put payment through. Still so far on ebay made £63.25 and telephone survey £6.45 both added to my total.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    I referred a friend to TopCashBack and if he signs up I'll get 50p. Big Wows!!!
    Also, if he decides to go with BT for his internet connection, we'll both get a free night in a hotel with our partners. Hope it means two rooms!
    Alternatively he could sign up throught the cash back site and get £40 and I get nowt but my 50p
    It's such a worry! LOL!

    Well, just done a telephone mystery shop, so thats another £7.50 to add. Also have a further two mystery shops to do today so will earn around £20 from them, don't know what i would do this month without mystery shops.

    Have been entering lots of comps though, so who knows i may be lucky and then i can sell the prizes on ebay for money, money, money!!
