I got 50p from T@keabreak today so others might be lucky too! No other news here...The 1,000 Day Challenge:Feb 16, 2016500/30,000

Hi to all, I got 50p on one ticket and 25p on another. I was kind of hoping there may be a second one from St.M!nver site today. I received the email asking me to post out all my details and proof of identity, which is going to be a pain when getting ready to move house! And I STILL haven't received my money from C!ao, yet it left that account over a month ago.
Jenjade, I think it was agreed that we'd do the next totals on day 50 - Tuesday 11th. Only problem is I'll probably disappear for a few days whilst moving house and losing Internet access.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

Just got £24.15 from Amazon for another textbook sold (this one was £29.99 8 years ago, and just sold it for £27 :T ). Anyway, turns out this buyer lives up the road from me so will just drop it round when in the area tomorrow, saving £5 on delivery
Have another 13 items up for sale on eBay- due to end Sun, and only 1 item bid on so far...fingers crossed will get some last min bidders, and some more to add to my total
BTW does anyone know how and when the money from Amazon book sales is transferred to your account?We got rid of the kids. The cat was allergic.

Got an extra £35.39 in my wages today so added that to my total - takes me over the £500 halfway mark!!! :j
Should get about £25 from g*easypalm on 4th november, also waiting for TCB to pay out as about £200 in it!!0 -
I've solved the mystery of the C!ao missing payments - they have had a problem sending out all September payments and now have an announcement on site. It'll be interesting to see from which bank their payments originate.
I've checked my TCB account and it's now showing £6.95 payable, £5.07 confirmed and £89.74 pending, including the cashback from insurance. All dates showing are up to and including 31st December, so that should be a bit of a help with this challenge. I'm not adding any of it to my total until it clears, though. In the meantime, I still have nothing more to add because I'm hopeless at selling online.
Well done to everyone having success with their auctions and matched betting, most impressive! :T :beer:I reserve the right not to spend.
