Had a kitchen declutter/clean/sort out session instead - much better for my health and wellbeing (and hopefully the GC too) but didn't really help this challenge. How do you all find stuff to eBay?

I did the kitchen clear out bit as well, but I hate listing so much that I boxed it all up and listed it on Gumtree and Freecycle as one lot! I just cannot get to grips with auction listing as I have nothing that anyone wants to pay money for and now, I'm having difficulties GIVING stuff away!:rotfl:

I picked up 2p today :rotfl:, found 20p when I cleared out the car and saved £12.15 on my vet's bill with a voucher :T I also saved lots of money on cat food but can't decide whether to include my half of this or not... Yesterday I didn't have the right change for the car park so I asked a guy if he could swop me some coins and he gave me 25p :j He had no clue just why I was so deliriously happy :rotfl:

Afternoon all,
Have just done my quidco enquiry about the A&L account because it didnt track at all when i did it. They instantly put the £50 into my account so now im all excited!!:j but not at the same time because it has to be investigated first so its pending, i hope they see i did it all correctly and i get to keep it!

I've done/had the same this afternoon to stacy. Though refusing to feel excited as I'm convincing myself A&L won't confirm it. Watch out for smilie shenanigins if they do though:D

Ooh yes, I need to do that too, thanks for the reminders Stacy and BB (sorry couldn't see you this weekend BB, wrote you a text last night but Marru's DD erased it before it sent! xx)
Quick question - the A&L was for £100, why's it only showing as £50??

Bails, the quidco cahsback was £50, and the £100 was from A&L itself...so £150 all in, provided A&L don't find some loophole to get out of paying my £100!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: I didn't have any SO or DD to switch from the account I used for the switching service so I'm not sure if they will count it :S

another £16.27 cleared from matched betting today i'm trying to find a decent match to place a £50 free bet, but not having much luck at the moment!

£11 to add from a payout from panelbase.

of course it was Mogwai, thanks for reminding me. Woop woop, that'll be £150 instead of just the plain old £100 I was thinking of. Who says memory loss is bad?:D

In other news, I picked a penny off the street tonight, after scraping my foot over it to check it wasn't stuck down. My boyfriend asked if that's what I was doing and then commented that noone would stick a 1p down. I reminded him of the credit crunch... :rotfl:

Also found another free scratchcard with Interbingo - it's 1000 PPs with £10 deposit but in T&Cs it only says one play so I'm experimenting by only playing one 10p game and then I've withdrawn the rest so I'll let you know if it works. (If you do this don't forget to deposit £10.10 so you meet min. withdrawal amount).

Ooh, I was just sorting some paperwork and came across a PP envelope with a £10 voucher in and £10!! :j Not that I'm disorganised or anything :whistle: I've put an enquiry in for A&L now as well so fingers crossed... That £1.06 is annoying me :rotfl:

Not sure whether to mention this as it's not guaranteed money - I've been experimenting with 'Paper, Scissors, Stone' (on the St Minver sites) and often win. That said, this is gambling in another form so don't risk it if you don't want to potentially lose. If you do play, you can reduce the stake to 10p which is what I do so if I lose the money it's just my free scratchcard money.
Off for a few days now to my brother's wedding so happy earning/saving and I'll see you all next week!
