Morning everyone, nothing like some early morning half asleep talk lol mm. Have a good day at work. I'm on a late shift today so not in till half 2.

Update on my freezer, fingers crossed it's freezing up again. We defrosted it last night and turned it on again this morning. OH assures me it;s making the right noises so the thermostat hasn't gone which we thought. I'll have to wait till later to find out.

Yesterday at work OH had a prize for doing something good over last few weeks, and it was an ipod shuffle! That was a nice surprise as we've put it away for dd for xmas, so one pressie done for free

I spent my amazon voucher last night so got another couple of pressies for £6 which was good.

Still waiting for Vernons to verify my age however!! Did anyone else have to wait for this? My cashback tracked so am still up but want to withdraw the tenner I have in there.

Yukkibear - good news about your freezer and the ipod! :T Not sure about vernons. Mine has tracked in quidco and Im going to have a play today when i have done all my work.

MM - yey!! 1 day to go. :j I cant wait. :rotfl: Have a nice day at work.

Well im in work late today, i just couldnt get up at all, but it was only 30 mins.

No-one is in anyway, so its not a problem.

Anyhoo, off to get my work done.

Ebay has gone really slowly hasn't it lately. I've got bits on Amazon I could put on ebay but if they don't sell I've wasted the fees.

Well done on the sig Jen, getting there

I was due an Amazon payment this morning but it isn;t in my bank so I guess it'll be processed today and reach me at a later date (wanted to pay it off my debt, only £12 but it will still be £12 less)

Have money tied up for mb too so at a complete standstill with money today and frustrated lol

Should go and cook something to take to work later, but really can't be bothered this morning.

yeah i am getting there but i want it now!! roll on 1st sept i might have some money then £50 mbm and quidco
also i have nearly £50 in payapl need to list and sell loads then take it all out as i won;t be using ebay or paypal!

**Amy**

Sounds like a plan Jen. I know how you feel about ebay/paypal, their fees are just way too high. I think they have let greed take over!

i thought they already had let greed take over no i feel they are taking the mikki! they have lost me and loads of others with this increase! i have loads to list though so i am listing now. the tv didn't sell so going to put it in the trade it and try that. was hoping the electrician quote would come today but it hasn't. wages went into the bank so i am a happy bunny

i recieved a shopping scanner from factfinders today not sure what i have signed up for but i bet they pay or give gift vouchers so going to look back into that and see. i will update you later!

Just wrote a long post and it's gone

Ah well, what I said was

Been productive now, paid £13.66 off my debt to bring it down to a nice round figure.

Emailed vernons to find out why they are holding my winnings until they verify my age (apparently they do it to random people but even so)

Also emailed a bookie to find out how long my withdrawal should tke as it was to paypal and I thought that was instant?

Was going to transfer £50 to me emergency savings too but my laptop on go slow still so doesn't want to work at mo.

I hate ebay and paypal too but I still use them both, the mug that I am.

jenjade

there is no really alternative though!

i am sure something else will take off when people start leaving e bay one of the other bidding sites might advertise etc and take off!! oh well the proce increase is good motervatuion for me to get rid of as much as possible on e bay now!!
