Grabbed myself another couple of MS but I think those will now get paid next month (where on earth has this month gone??). Redeemed £5 at bingo port which was paid last week but Im pretty sure I havent included as Ive not applied it to my account yet - its about to be added. Requesting £10 amazon from VO later on, and still debating £30 amazon or £30 supermarket vouchers from ipoints, so again likely to arrive next month now.
Off to do some studying before 'treating' myself to an hour working through my dooyoo and ciao alerts (currently working on those from October last year :eek:)It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Just another 40p from Onepoll for me this afternoon (sorry, I know I posted an essay this morning, but I’m bored so posting again! Lol). Also got my mobile bill, so am adding the £10 a month saving I made by phoning up in Jan and asking to reduce my tariff. I don’t usually add savings on things, but I am for this one; my contract runs until September, so it's extra money in my pocket every month that wouldn’t be there if I hadn‘t phoned up!
I am annoyed as I joined Winkbingo (they are offering £15 free to play with without depositing)…and I won a line, yay! Only £3.03, but not bad for clicking a couple of buttons! BUT they won’t let me withdraw it? Even though I tried depositing - it will only let me withdraw my money, and not my winnings. How pointless! So won’t include it, as it’s not really worth anything is it?
Been a productive afternoon though…think I have been busier on my day off than I am at work! Cancelled my Equifax free trial which I’ve been meaning to do, ordered 30 free photos from Snapfish (had to pay 99p postage but should hopefully get £3.50 cashback through Cashbackkings!), emailed to find out info on joining AQA text researchers. Have also been searching on t’internet all afternoon too for educational charities/trusts to see if I can get any funding for my uni course next year. Haven’t found anything I’m eligible for so it’s been a bit of a waste of time, but at least I know now! And been good and resisted going to Asda for the cookies I wanted, so it’s been a NSD so far too! Hope everyone else has had a good day

I could understand maybe half of it, but what is the point when they take it all :rolleyes: Oh well, I'll follow your advice and only list stuff over £1.99 in future - thankyou
As for my challenge...I am FURIOUS today as some thieving person has pinched £10 out of my purse! So really I am £10 down today rather than upIt must have happened at work - I have to share a locker because they don’t have enough available. But the flamin’ thing doesn’t even lock as someone has pinched the £1 out of it, so it could have been anyone walking past really. Am going to make a complaint next time I’m in, and demand they get some proper working lockers!
Amazon do take a good chunk but I have more regular sales with them than Play, although I list on both and remove from one when something sells. Once you get used to it they are not too bad and at least you get something towards postage. Just check each set of fees on the last page as you list and you can see if you are going to make profit
Totally out of order someone nicking out of your wallet! Thats disgraceful. Definately complain to your work as thats not fair that you should have to put up with that :mad:
So far today I made 1p:rolleyes:
