I don't know about these £1 cashbacks Are they for any item you return? I've got a very local argos :D

Sorry, looks as though they've just stopped it, it was £1 Quidco for every completed reserve & collect but now they're just offering a prize draw instead (see http://www.quidco.com/argos-co-uk/). Will keep thinking!

I'm off the mark as Asda refunded me for the freeview box that I got for Christmas so I now have £17 to play with .

Not sure what to do with it. I might have a look around some charity shops, Gumtree and Ebay for some local bargains that I might be able to make money from.

Forgot to say ......... WELL DONE :T:T:T and to Laura with her 10p from nothing already :T:T:T (look after the pennys and all that )

I've finished listing 15 items on ebay (mostly avon stuff that I got free when combined customer orders meant that I qualified for a freebee) and have bids on 2 of them already :j:D I've also put on a pair of DD's brand name trainers that she's outgrown (always seem to sell :cool:) and a Christmas present that (although much appreciated) I will never use.

I had slowed Avon right down in the last few months - to the point that I have only ordered personal stuff in the last 2 campaigns but because of this challenge I'm going to really pull my finger out and get my backside in gear again - have just written out some order slips and am going to do the rounds with my books tomorrow :T

Still no luck with the first £ , all the my gifts/freebies i have i dont want to let go , so cant sell anything unwanted.

How is everyone doing?

I have decided what I want to do to make some big bucks but I need to get a stash of around £50-£60 in my Paypal before I can do anything.

Therefore, I am going to go through the house tonight and find anything that I can which didn't cost me anything to list on Ebay tomorrow evening to finish on Sunday.

Off the top of my head, I've got a £5 Amazon voucher which I got from Bingoport, a PSP game that I won and a mascara that I won. Will see what else I've got later on.

With my £17 cash, I'm going to look around the charity shops tomorrow to see if I can buy some things to sell at a profit.

I was looking for house insurance today and there are still quite a few of the comparison sites offering between 50p and £2 Quidco just for getting a quote - might help someone get off to a start.

Would you have to wait for the cashback to be paid to count it in the challenge?
