    Yes doing ok thanks dfsd :)

    Trying to work budgets and make sure we have some back up savings now we're debt free etc. Always something that needs paying for though :(
  • I have listed another book on Amazon - the one I won recently in a competition. Current price is £11.99 so will be nice if it sells. It is very heavy though so am considering sending it 2nd class but not sure how well this will go down with any potential buyers.
  • Ooh, Just got home to a Philadelphia cook book waiting for me, seems I won it in a competition. :D

    10p on other scratchcard, no wins for hubby on BB, will be playing my bonus through as soon as I can withdraw the £100. :D
  • Wow, have you been sprinkled with lucky dust in that bingo room? You are doing really well, and how fab to come back to a free book :D

    I finished reading a book on Sunday, put it on Amazon, sold it during the evening and it was in the post by lunchtime today. How is that for quick recycling;) It will only bring me about £3 profit - I should have charged more - but I'm just glad to have sold something else to clear a bit of space.

    May the good fortune continue...
    Mortgage, draw down Sept 2014: £222,000

    Now: £173,229
  • Yes we've been very lucky lately with the bingo! I've worked out my bonus with BB ends Wed or Thurs this week though - I shall miss my daily fix! Hubby's is ongoing for a good while yet though so shall be doing that one until after Christmas.

    Well done on the book sale too! I love it when they sell quickly like that!

  • 2 x 10p on scratchcards this morning, played through BB bonuses - a win of £3 but bought some more cards with it and no win. :rolleyes:

    A £14.99 win on w!ink bingo though, all withdrawn and hopefully heading to the bank account. Sunday night's withdrawal is still saying 'pending'... :confused:

    Petrol low, so hubby is going to fill up today so about a £40 spend there. Also picked up a few bits from the supermarket last night that we'd run out of, cost £11 which I need to record on our spending diary thing.
    I also need to update all our bingo wins into my diary today, am losing track of what money should be where.

    £3 earned on a survey this morning (early!) so that should be on its way to the paypal account shortly.

    Have got the lurgy today - was awake most of the night with a bad throat and feeling rubbish - it's agony to swallow at the moment, so eating's a no-no today - drinking is hard enough at the moment! I have called in sick this morning which was met with a dubious reaction, but tough. I'm feeling like cr&p and sure they wouldn't appreciate this bug over Christmas. :mad:

    I may go back to entering some competitions today, not feeling like moving from under the blanket on the sofa so am forseeing lots of laptop time...

    Hope you feel better soon. I always send my Amazon sales second class. Never had a prob.
  • Thanks Yukki, and thanks for the advice on the Amazon postage. If it sells then I will definitely send it second class now - otherwise I can see it being £5 just for postage and then hardly worth it!

    Hope you have a wonderful first debt free christmas!
