    Money making things which I have done today are I opened an A & L account through quidco (£50 cashback) so I can start MBing again. I also took the Time Magazine free trail for £10 cashback and Payday Loan for £65 cashback with £20 interest to pay so profit of £45. These have all tracked already so just have to wait for them to be paid. Not bad for an hours work.
    Check your T&Cs with Alliance and Leicester for the £50 via Quidco (Think you have to move at least one DD)

    Also, if you don't fund the account with £500 per month there is something in my brain that says you get a fee.....will try and find the info later.

    Didn't take long!

    You must be over 21. You’ll need to pay at least £500 every month into your bank account (or fees may apply). You need an e-mail address and access to the internet.

    Thanks FF

    That was the only conditions I could see when I opened the account. Transferring £500 every month is not a problem.

  • I know it is a bit early to be making invitations for the wedding but OH was bored last night and he made some designs on the computer. So today I bought all the bits and pieces of ebay and our total wedding stationery is coming in around £50. This includes day invites, evening invites, RSVP cards and thank you cards. I am quite chuffed and I cannot wait until the wedding now.

    I know what I'm having for my invites too lol, but resisting buying bits until the loan is paid for. It's really frustrating as I have bits on my watchers list on ebay of things I want and I saw the exact colour and paper I want in hobbycraft last week too lol.
  • I have just won the wedding boots on ebay for £27 and £3.50 postage. I had a budget of £60 for shoes/boots so I am well within budget. I just hope they fit now lol.
