  • hey everyone, £5.20 from ebay, getting there slowly but surely, have some items ending on friday which have bids on! one has EIGHT people watching!! woop!!! hopefully they start a bidding war!!!

    im going to ilst like mad at the weekend!!!! to take advantage of no listing fee for all my wee small items!! to be honest the most i've ever listed something for is £1.50!!! haha so it wont be much of a change for me..llol....i think i like seeing the bids go up and up so dont mind if it starts low! and if i only make a pound, its a pound i didnt have before...

    i think thats one of the most important things this site has taught me....dont turn your nose down on even the smallest amounts of money!! because its money you didnt have before!!! im a total convert now!!! and if i drop 1p i cant let it lye! lol....

    thanks everyone!

  • £15 cheque from Shopping & Rewards. Free 500 Boots points = £5. Oh and £3.25 cashback!

    OMG! I had a letter sat on the side which was from Direct Line and I assumed it was junk mail so I eventually opened it today and immediately tore up the envelope and put that in the bin then just as I was about to put the letter into the recycling, I glanced at it and saw "your £5 M&S voucher"!!!! I was just about to dive into the kitchen bin when there it was lying on the kitchen floor and nice and crisp £5 M&S voucher! Phew! I don't even remember requesting a Direct Line Quote! :rotfl:

    Just added it to my total!

    Just posted my Ebay parcels leaving me £66.45 profit :D

    Mum and I had lunch while we were out and I found 1p on my seat in the cafe

    I also went to Tesco and got some freepost recycling envelopes for printer cartridges. I posted a while ago about getting 100 Boots points (£1) per cartridge but they have limited the type of cartridges they take now. However Boots do still take the one I have at the moment so each one will give me 100 Tesco points which I have now found out definately means £1, or £4 in deals. I'll add that after I have sent it off but it might be useful for some of you

    Well I got my payrise (that I asked for at the start of the month) not as much as I wanted but I got some of it back dated - so I've made my challenge for the month. As net I should get at least £200 extra this month.

    110 lightspeed points today. Also I signed up for a Waterstone's Loyalty card - silly sales assistant gave me a leaflet, what she didnt say was that I could sign up in store:mad: I discovered that after I got home and went online - so I rang them to complain and as I have kept my receipt can go and get 44 points added to the card:j

    You get 3 points for every £1 spent:j
