    I would only count money I would have spent - and transfer the amount into my savings. If its a "virtual saving" and I do or buy something I couldn't/wouldn't have done without the voucher then I don't count it.

    So if I was going to buy a book, log in to Amazon and find I have enough in my gift balance that I don't have to use real money then it counts, and I transfer the money into my saving account because I would have bought it anyway.

    If I receive an Amazon voucher for doing a survey and decide to use it straight away as a treat - and buy something I probably wouldn't have bought without the voucher then it doesn't count towards the challenge.

    :hello: hi everyone,
    not got anything to update at the moment. I'm doing the car boot next Saturday (weather permitting), so hoping to make a few bob from that.

    Thanks Ciara, tomorrow was my original start date- well remembered! My new Line Manager has now booked off 2 weeks leave though, from tomorrow until Monday 1st September. So they have said they will pay me from tomorrow, but I won't be starting until Mon 1st Sept now.
    They want me to learn how to man a generic mail box for the next 2 weeks while I'm still in my original post, so I will be training for that Tuesday.

    Obviously the fact that I'm now getting paid 3 scales more then my collegues for the next 2 weeks has not gone down very well- only to the ones that have been horrible to me about my new job. Kinda feel like it serves them right for being so horrible to me... :o

    xx

    Hi all, just popping in to say i have made an extra £15.50 today from mystery shopping, so thats another little boost to my earnings. Am in that catch twenty two position where i can't match bet as don't have enough money, but can't get any more money till i do match bet:rotfl:Still, where there is a will there is a way!! So will hopefully have some money to match bet with soon, once a bookie pays out, although they are a bit tough at paying out!
