    Back from town. Filled my car up, my tank wasn't quite empty and I used a 5p Tesco fuel voucher, so I've added another £6.21. Which is the difference between my fuel budget and what I actually spent.
    Last month I only needed to fill my tank once...so heres hoping for another month like that!

    Thanks for the info about the scratch cards. I'll have a look at that.

    Purpleroses, thanks for the link, will give that a go too. Better still if there are any cashback sign ups :)

    JB, you are doing exceptionally well on the slaes front, excellent news!

    I just received £2 (after postage & Paypal fees deducted) for one of my eBid items - MUST make the effort to list more, I must, I must, I must!
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    Mogwai, please pardon my ignorance and don't think this offensive in any way, but I really don't know what Eid means. Until I saw it on the front page of MSE, I had misread your post as eBid!

    No problem! I'm glad my post motivated you to find out about Eid! :T It's our (muslim) celebration after a month of fasting. Its our big religious festival. I don't normally get any money for it, being deemed too old by most of my rellies now, but I my aunt has heard about this challenge that I'm doing and I think this was her contribution. Every bit counts! :D
    We got rid of the kids. The cat was allergic. ;)

    Good for your aunt Mogwai and Happy Eid!
    Over a £100 JB, that's ace! Everyone's totals are coming along nicely :T Mine will follow suit soon, I promise! :D
    Thanks for the scratchcard link, may try that, and for the market research link - must go back and get that one before I forget.
    No more money here, 10 watchers on 2 Ebay items so fingers crossed for a profit; supply hopefully happening soon. I don't seem to ever get any PPs any more, anyone getting any? :confused:
    I got turned down for the cashback credit card unfortunately but not surprisingly so no cashback there. A&L paperwork is coming through but still no cashback...
    I've just signed up for Littlewoods through Quidco. If you deposit more than £10 and paly half through within 3 days you should get £10 cashback. Won my first 10p on the free scratchcard too.

    No PP's here for ages either - think its another sign of the recession biting, maybe these reward sites are on their way out:confused:
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.

    I haven't had any pp's either...very sad...

    Right, well, I can't find the free scratchcards on butlinsbingo. Are they still there or am I stupid....also littlewoods, is there a cashback site to go through?
    Sorry, feel like I';m being a bit stupid...!

    Littlewoods I used Quidco, although you do need to play through half of your deposit, which I'm doing right now, yawn. No wins obviously.
    OH just gave me £15 for something he owed me though, woo hoo! I'll take that, thanks very much! :D
    EDIT: Quidco tracked almost immediately for Littlewoods.

    Frankie, if you go to butlins and click on the scratch card tab the free one is the third one down on the right hand coloumn I think. You aren't being stupid at all, I had the same problem too... maybe we're both stupid! lol

    I got £20 cash in exchange for some argos vouchers I got from doing surveys so I'll go and add that to my sig now...
    Finally bought a home

    ok, I'll check the bingo again in a sec...I've just had £8 transfered to my account from my daughter who owes me some money, so I've updated my signature...
    I'm sure it can't go on like this and very soon my money making will grind to a halt but its certainly exciting at the moment!!
