    Thanks purpleroses, i'm just waiting for £4 of book vouchers from GFK and am going to claim £7 of boots from ipsos but they won't come in till next month now. So that should give me a good boost with my ciao and quidco money that i'm due! Should take me up to over £30 and thats at the start of the month!

    Am registering with MS companies this week and have the offer of s/e typing but they want daytime typists and my DH just got a job (yippee!) and he starts full time on monday so would only be able to do limited hours during the day, although night time and weekends i'll be able to do unlimited hours. I have just been round with my first lot of Avon books as well, so fingers crossed I get loads of orders with christmas coming up! apparently if 20 people order £16 of avon stuff i will earn £80 so keeping fingers crossed for a hell of a lot more!

    We are also going to the bank tomorrow to see if we can consolidate everything into one big lump sum debt. We owe 4 different companies and its coming in at £28K paying out £800 a month so if we get £25K from the bank we will only pay £500 a month and I'm sure I can manage to clear that in my earnings (hopefully!). If they agree to that we can pay the car off and then sell it and buy a cheaper one and put the rest of the money into the bank to pay the big loan off. Fingers crossed that it works. If not we are well and truly screwed lol.

    I know that hubby's new job is a big pay cut but hopefully we will also get higher CTC and WTC which will make a difference as we have been using that money to live on at the moment (JSA have not sorted out his money yet and its been a month!) so we are going in tomorrow so he can sign off!!!

    And being a canny scot (lets be honest I'm tight lol) i'm sure that we can manage this - I should then be able to claim back a heck ofa lotof money as well (especially considering we are waiting for £2500 from his previous work). Hopefully things may just start to look up for us.

    Am off now to open a play account, see you all soon xx
    LBM - August 2008 - Debts then - £33390 :eek:- 2nd LBM - November 2009 - Debts then - £18500:mad:

    Bonsibabe - why not list them on Play and Amazon. That way if something sells on one you can remove it from the other but you've got twice the chance of selling each item.

    All mine are on Play.com and its great but I'm planning to list all the CDs and DVDs on Amazon too over the next couple of days.

    Today I have redeemed £2 HMV online vouchers from GFK, posted Ebay item sold last night leaving £15.42 and made 52p cashback

    I think I joined GFK through Toluna - I'll go look and come back if I find out

    Found the site address http://www.gfknop.com/customresearch-uk/ although I can't see if they are taking people on or not but if you have a look around you might have better luck than me :)
