    I add vouchers if I use them to buy soemthing I would have bought if I didn't have the voucher, and add the money saved to my savings account. If I get a voucher and "treat myself" to something I couldn't have otherwise afforded I don't count them.

    Yep that's what I've been thinking. Oh dear, look how much I have failed :rotfl:

    I'd be kinder to yourself - I count vouchers that I've not bought - and use some towards Christmas, Holidays, Birthday pressies, luxuries that help me be good the rest of the time....

    I've done some surveys but will try and hold off cashing the money in yet and then add it to October's total. Still need to work on OH to list a desk and TV for sale, the same ones I've been planning to sell since August:o

    Well done :T £3.99 is a good start. Some people pay straight away, others take a while :mad: . But DO NOT post anything until you have the payment. They may decide not to pay you if you've already given them the item.
