    Hey lilmissmup why dont you go through quidco and use envirofone, they pay bout £3 if your new to envirofone or just over a £1 if your an existing customer and then you get money from envirofone for your old phone and because its damaged you willl probably get less for it on ebay than envirofone. Envirofone still pay well for damaged phones. You probably already know this but just incase.

    Envirofone actually seems cr*p i just checked my phone on there and theyre offering me for the U600 £19.59 cheque or £22.42 argos vouchers.
    Just found a site called bananagreen.com and they are offering £35, much better than envirofone.

    Well i got £95 from Quidco in end as they took £5 for admin fee on OH's account.

    But i have also cashed in £12 worth of change today to bank so paid £107 into ISA this week :D

    Shame the Bank of England has dropped rates again, means my ISA will only be 3.25% sooon :rolleyes:

    My pigsback boots voucher showed up today so will have £20 to spend in there this weekend, hoping to get 4 x £5 pressies then will get 2 free on mix and match.

    I am not feeling well still, given in today and off work and going to take tomorrow off too and rest, went Doctors as was bit worried about my right ear as hurting but he just told me to rest.
