Do we have a thread 'Martin Lewis for PM' I would vote for him!

Is that the buy one get one half price voucher? I wanted to use it to buy 2 annuals but was told annuals aren't books....and got a book half price in WHSmith so saved £3.50.
:rotfl: If it looks like a book and acts like a book it IS a book.
Anyway, nothing to add today but I have some overtime to come next week, (from last month) , doing o/t on Monday & Tuesday (helping out the school nurses with the HPV jabs
).
I have some ebaying finishing tomorrow and it's already up to over £100 :j

£7.17 for a book sold on Amazon. Have lowered a few prices on there to try and sell my remaining books. You have to watch out with Amazon though, that you're still going to make a profit. Have got into gear a bit more today by listing 9 DVDs on Play and approx 20 CDs. Will do some more later and update.
Even further behind than usual this month so REALLY need to get going!O/draft 1Abbey:£1000 Student Loan [STRIKE]£10,825[/STRIKE] £9030 Personal Loan: [STRIKE]£4900[/STRIKE]£4809 Apple Finance: £1000
