    This may not be the right place to post, but if you have a loyalty card for the West Cornwall Pasty Co (they stamp your card every time you buy a pasty and hot drink until the card is full and you get a free one) act now.

    They are finishing the scheme at the end of the month and if you have a card - even partialy completed, they will give you a free pasty and drink before the 30th October.

    I had a card with only three stamps and got a free pasty and coffee yesterday - saved £4 for my lunch.

    Quidco = 8p (woopydoo!!)
    Amazon = £7.52 profit as of today (added to the £2.77 from earlier in the month)
    Avon commission earned = £56.76

    CompletelyLost - a few ideas for postage materials:
    • Try asking on Freecycle for unwanted bubble wrap or padded envelopes - I got 2 bin bags full off a nice lady near me
    • Tesco do some cheap brown paper
    • Pound shops do cheap padded envelopes
    • Your local post office will give you as many free special delivery envelopes as you want - just turn them inside out. Got this tip from thread here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=22455

    Today I sold a CD on play.com giving me £1.89

    Thanks for that. I tend to be quite thrifty with packing, reusing it where I can, but have completely ran out due to selling a lot recently! I never knew that about the special delivery envelopes though so will definitely ask for them when I'm in today x

    Today I was able to withdraw £20 from mutualpoints so have added that to my total. Also received my £500 cheque from last month so will pay that in later :D:D:D

    I'm looking forward to free listing day too, that should make me a few extra pennies.
  • Received cheque today for £35 - car tax back due to downsizing car, £2.20 from selling eggs, £2 Argos voucher received from GfK.
