    Sold a couple of items on Amazon today and got some Quidco validated. Only about £18 so far but every little helps! I won't be adding them to my total until the money is in my account, but at least I know it is coming!

    Just listed about 15 books on Green Metropolis - not used it before so thought I would see how I got on. Anyone had any success there before? There are a couple of titles where I am the only one listing so fingers crossed someone comes looking for them!

    Greenmetropolis is very hit and miss - and very slow. But it doesn't hurt to try, and costs nothing so you have nothing to lose.

    Just got £2 from Lightspeed so added it to my total.

    well already managed to sell 2 books on Amazon so off to a start. Will update total once I know how much I've spent on postage. It's been a while since I've sold much, postage seems so expensive nowadays!

    I've just found £6 sitting in my Green Metropolis Account so I've transferred it into the Olympic fund. Have included it in my sig also.

    Through Quidco, a lottery win of £10, some Pigsback rewards I sold on Ebay I'm up at £40 so far. Still a wee bit to go then!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
