My total as of today is £657.11! I won a £5 voucher today so am adding that, along with a paltry £3.47 from an ebay sale (though it was an item that was bought for £1 so I can't complain really). Hope I get some surveys or a win soon! I have five 'buy it now's on ebay, just hoping someone buys them :S0

Well done! The ID thing is a bit of a pain - I sent them everything they asked for, they siad I'd receive a receipt and all I got was an email saying my query was resolved. Next day, I got a reminder for the original request for proof of ID! I am not happy, as I have sent then bank, card and driving licence copies! I also included a covering note asking if all staff with access to the details was police checked and if their systems were guaranteed as secure. No response to that yet. :mad:
Nothing more to add here, just waiting for some cashback and keeping fingers crossed for a win of some description.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

Took me about 2 weeks to get ID sorted on TAB :rolleyes:
They supposedly gave me my money back a week ago but still not in account :rolleyes:Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
Hi everyone...
How are you all doing? I haven't kept up to date on my totals, so I'm going to have to go for a guess!!
I've not had anything to add lately either. Oh well it's all better than nothing...0 -
Hi FrankieM
My extra income is slow on the increase too, but it all makes a difference in the long run and I do have over £150 accruing in various places awaiting final pay outs in December, so I am still confident that I can make it at least half wayBy the time I open my sealed pot, add in my cig savings, the remains of my £2 coins and my interest beater challenge money then it should give me a good head's start for 2009.
I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.
