    I don't know about these £1 cashbacks :confused: 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 :D .

    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 :D)

    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 :D: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 :D - have just written out some order slips and am going to do the rounds with my books tomorrow :T

    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.
  • yay! i got my first £1! my partner kindly gave me my bus fare to work and gave me £1 to much..i did offer to give it back but he said i could keep it, bless him
    ;)

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