I sold 3 more items on eBay at the weekend - only for 99p each but it all adds up.

Am going to relist the rest on Thursday and add a few more.
How's everyone else got on?

Many thanks Orchid-96 - I think this is a great idea - and I should know, I have lost £36 Amazon vouchers as I did not claim them in time - the company did not state very clearly that I only had 60 days to redeem the code - ah well, we live and learn.

So I have now banked my 2 x £10 voucher codes and they are sitting in Amazon just waiting for them to be used!!!!:T

I went onto Amazon, signed into my account then there is a tab at the top which says 'gift certificates' click on it then on the right hand sided there is a bit you can click on (very technical ) which says 'apply to account' then key the code in the box and it will show your balance - it tells you that that amount will be available for you to use next time you shop..

I have now banked 2 £5 ones as I did have enough on lightspeed to claim one woo hoo....

Thanks for the tips on how to redeem amazon voucher – MUCH appreciated!
You may or may not have noticed that I has not been here much the last few days. I have been in lurksville, I also haven't had the time to do a full update on points etc. and you are all doing so well you are putting me to shame!!



MARTIN has put a great link in this week's e-mail about how to boost loyalty points. I think there is probably something we can learn from it somewhere along the line!

Morning ladies, I apologise for being AWOL, Have had some serious problems the last few weeks so took a back seat on the forums and logged out for a few days! Not that I can hide from most of you as you all know my email address :rotfl:

I am still being thrifty, I made £39 on my 5 ebay items, all of it profit, I had hoped that one of the auctions would go for more but hey ho thats life and it has given me a bit to play with so to speak.

I managed to redeem £5 amazon voucher on sunday on bingo port for myself, I am now just over 3000 points to my next redeem. Then I managed to redeem on OH's bingo port on Monday and still battling away towards my next one.
We haven't done anymore tesco points (not been shopping for abuot a month or so now ...)
I am still doing onepoll and somewhere near £15 ... although it don't half drag lol
Not even looked at Toluna, although I really should try and just get enough for one voucher as I am half way there then knock it on the head!
I am also still battling away with my daily ebay sales on things you would never imagine that people would buy! (but they do!)

I think that is all from me, hope everyone is ok?

Morning Ladies

Everyone - Thanks for all the nice wishes yesterday, I am a bit better today thanks (Jammy). We had another shock yesterday, OH went back up the vets later to pay the bill and it came to just under £700!!! It was a PDSA vets too but it was expensinve because he had to take Rufus up there on Bank Holiday Monday in the evening. He stayed in overnight but they couldnt do anything for him. OH asked if he could pay by installments but was told they needed a full payment within 4 days or they would take us to court. You can imagine how this bomb dropped on us straight after losing our dog. Luckily we have wonderful family who clubbed together to help us out, we have even managed to pay to have him brought home after the cremation. Must say yesterday was one of the most stressful days of my life but I have slept well and feel so much better this morning, just a bit of a head ache.

Have been trying to clean the carpet and rug in the living room as poor Rufus had no control over hsi bladder for the last day or so and although we tried to put lankets under him it has still seeped into the floor. The carpet has come up ok but the rug is a big heavy shaggy pile thing which we havent had very long and its taking an age to get the smell out. Havent been able to hang it in the garden as the weather has been foul.

As to the money neutral pot - Had a 50p win on the Littlewoods free scratchcard this morning which put me over a tenner so have withdrawn the £10. Also managed to redeem another fiver on bingoports Sunday and still have 7250 points where I have had a few nice wins over the weekend..

Anyway, catch you all later xx

That must have been a shock on top of eveything else rufus - how :mad: insensitive of the vets!

Well done everyone on their totals - I made about £43 from choccy's challenge (still waiting for 1 more payment) and have scheduled unsold items for Thursday . I must iron and take pics of the rest so I can add a few more.

I'm up to £17 on onepoll but like you rusty I do a few toluna ones and then get fed up and still only have 16000 points!

Rufus sorry to hear about your dog It's horrible news

Sorry guys, I am going AWOL again ... my mum has just called, my grandad passed away in his sleep so I am waiting for Tom to get home from (about 1pm today) so I can break the news and head south

Sorry to hear your news Rusty, take care.

Quick Qype question......when you signed up with them did you get emails from people wanting to be your 'friend'? Is this normal? Part of the whole qype experience. I've had 3 since I joined last week.
