    £40.00 cashback for switching fuel (only recording £5.00 as counted £35 last month - long story but have now gone with a new and better deal) + £2.00 PayPal voucher.

    I'm really unmotivated at the moment as far as Ebay selling is concerned but have arranged to do a boot sale at the end of the month - haven't done one for years. I guess I should try to summon up enough enthusiasm to do at least a little bit of Ebaying before then though.

    £10 amazon from valued opinions, and got a new satnav ordered via quidsinuk, so hopefully some cashback to come from there too (already had £6 odd in my account so need to work out how much more I need for payout etc).

    I spotted that when I managed to get back on (why do I never remember my passwords!!) need to make sure I remember to claim the cashback though, and then keep using the site.....:rolleyes:

    Monkeynut - I was gob smacked at Ebay charging 10% last time I sold something too - it only used to be about 4%, it’s a huge jump! They’re getting soooo greedy!

    Jesarose - LOVE the lemsip/necklace story, that’s hilarious! Re. the bike, maybe try advertising it on the notice boards at your local supermarket for a bit - it’s usually free to put ads on there so you can put it at a higher price and see how much interest you get? They maybe lower the price if you don’t gtet a buyer!

    £1 Lightspeed. £17 cashback is in my bank account from taking out AA breakdown cover (v.pleased - I had to pay for the cover anyway, so nice to get a bit extra back!) £2 tips from work. Onepoll 55p - just finally been able to request my £40 payment, yay! (I’ve already counted what I’ve made each day for Onepoll though, so I won’t add the whole £40 to my total). Also just done a Pinecone survey so should hopefully be getting £4 for that :D Did a mystery shop today too, which should be paid soon. Have sorted out loads of Ebay stuff too, which I really need to get motivated and list!

    Anyone watching Martin on the telly right now?! V. interesting! The man on there is exactly the same as me and OH, rubbish credit rating and wanting to get a mortgage - will be watching with interest :D

  • Hi
    Quick Question: If you buy an object e.g. a bottle of wine each week and get given one as a pressie, would you count the money you usually spend on the wine towards this challenge?
    Thanks SFT

    I would if it was something I was definitely going to buy anyway... but not if it was an extra little treat that I might not have bought otherwise :) If you buy a bottle of wine for £5 every week, and this week you got given one instead, then it's really put £5 back in your pocket hasn't it!
