    That's cool, I love finding money, and in the sand too, impressive! :D

    I've got 5 things on Ebay ending next Sunday but no other moneymaking plans at mo (except scratchcard) so will be getting my thinking cap on!
    I felt the same when I first started using cashback BB, like 'this can't really work' but it does :j I've only ever had 1 thing not track and that was a 50p sign up to a newsletter thing that didn't track for anyone. A&L could be my second stumbling block but hopefully not as I'd really like that £100!

    Here's to the next 20 days everyone :T

    Its great to see peoples totals - I am doing much better than I thought I would - just hope I (and everyone else) can keep it up for the duration!

    Just listed about 20 items, going to list some more on eBay - don't know where all this motivation has come from suddenly :S

    Also got an offer through the post for £20 if I sign up to ING direct savings account - seems straight forward enough. I notice the web doesn't mention the £20, but if you call up and say you got this offer through the post but want to open the account on the phone, it might still work. best of all its not through a cashback thing, so you wnt have to wait ages to get the £20 (not that I am complaining about cashback sites - they are fabuloso) :D

  • Well hello all - been away for the weekend so a bit late but my current total is £178.93 so am quite pleased with that - nearly keeping up!

    It comes from MBetting, Quidco and survey/click payouts which hasn't been too taxing! Will have to make more of an effort to ensure I don't slip behind any further!! I have lots of Quidco tracked, A&L, Nectar credit card, Scratch2cash which is good but not at all convinced any will pay before NYE... we will see... :D

    I keep forgetting to update this thread and say hi to everyone, although I do lurk a fair bit!

    My current total is £227.40, although most of that is still in Quidco. Very glad that I have been doing this, as OH's computer is dying. Have just spent £160 on ebay getting new bits, but at least that is his xmas present sorted out!

    Just had two auctions buy now, both within hours of being listed! Don't get it, one I had listed three times before and no interest lol :confused:

    And the other was a book I paid $1 for at a garage sale, didn't like and it sold for $5. Crazy. I always check expired listings and current listings to gauge a good price, but think that book could have fetched a little more lol. :p

    Well, really good start to the week anyway. :T

    ETA: Had 3 more auctions close tonight lol, crazy. Thats over $50 just today pretty much, almost all my weeks worth in one day. Feels SO good to get another chunk out of my mound of junk lol. Much more fun than my job too. I think I should go full time seller lol. Wonder where you could source all that junk, must look into it as I have 7 weeks holiday from work in 9 weeks, and it would be a great hobby for me then...

    Jumble-Bee, you seem to do pretty well on-selling things you have got for cheap, where do you get it all? (Hope I am referring to right person lol)

    WOW! Is this just 'extra' money over and above your normal earned income? :eek:

    I've had a very non-eventful weekend, wasn't feeling too good, so did nothing. Unfortunately, this means I didn't list anything else on ebay. Hoping to rectify that tonight.

    Have had a few sales though and can add 60.62 to my total.

    Can anyone point me in the direction of the scratchcards please? and can you make the instructions simple as I'm none too bright I'm afraid...:o
