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.ilovefreegle.org - give it away don't throw it away

Yep that's what I've been thinking. Oh dear, look how much I have failed :rotfl:Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.0 -
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....Yep that's what I've been thinking. Oh dear, look how much I have failed :rotfl:
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:oAchieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

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.vinakanailavo wrote: »hey everyone!!
