    Xmas Saver!
    We just decided to go to Japan for our honey moon next year sooooo excited but not about the cost, flight should be covered by OH airmiles from work but still going to be veryyyy expensive, thats what I'm being thrifty for!!


    You get £1 when you refer 5 people on onepoll

    my mini-challenge will be saving up all my recycling and instead of leaving it for the council to take away I will drive it to tesco where they will pay me in point for it all!! just been out for dinner on the tesco vouchers! more point means more meals out :beer:

    and i'm soooo up for £100 in amazon vouchers by christmas! there is (I think) 28 weeks until christmas, meaning we need 5800 points each week. ten posts each day for 7 days is 7000 points, so i can only spend 1200 points each week on games...170 points each day....... this is just about doable :j

    Hope u dont mind me being cheeky, just double check ur Tesco recycling machine, as our store use to recycle everything, but now you only get paid for pop cans and its 2 cans for 1 point,

    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    I'm up for the bingoport challenge, £75 sounds good. Pleasebe careful with the number of games you play, or rather dont play, as some people havent been allowed vouchers due to not playing enough.

    After some bad news last night and talks with OH I need to get serious with my online earnings such as ebaying etc. I've also had my email account hacked as well as ebay, grrrrrrrr, fingers crossed no damage done, just wish I knew how they'd done it, my virus checker cant find anything & I dont think I've downloaded anything dodgy.

    Furry, I know you can do the £100, you are so [STRIKE]addicted[/STRIKE] dedicated to bingoport.

    Hayley - dont know if I'll catch you again on here before you go on your hols so I hope its a fab one with loads of sunshine :)

    As for Jammys mini-challenge, hmmm, so many choices!! By sunday I WILL get started with dailey clicks.

    Sun is shining here, though the clouds are trying to take over - I hope you all have sunshine where ever you are, both actual sunshine & metaphorical sunshine in your life :D
    You cant take a step forward with both feet on the ground

    Im up for the Bignoports challenge, I think we should all get the £100 but as you say would be better to aim for £75 and then be pleased we are over the amount than have a run of bad luck and not reach it.

    I won £5 on the free scratchy on Littlewoods this mroning, most I have won on there yet, and it has boosted my amount to just over £6 as I have just had a payment.

    Cashback Cascade and Chief should be paying out any day now so keeping an eye on those, have a fair bit to claim if it all goes to confirmed instead of pending.

    Will have a search for Ebay items again next week when OH goes back to work as far easier when I am on my own. Just wish I could get in the loft, I cant manage the ladder anymore because of my disabled arms so no chance there.

    I'm off up town later to see if I can grab any bargains, need to get my gold charm bracelet out of the jewellers too, I got a charm off everyone with their initial on it for my 50th birthday and I have been having them soldered on all paid for out of my money neutral pot. The last ones I have to do have just been put on so now I want to buy some more for the other relatives who didnt buy one like the Grandchildren. Will be using only money neutral for these too.

    Suns coming out so hoping it wont be too chilly up there, I really feel the cold easily but feel stupid wearing a cardigan when everyone else is in vest tops lol

    I am definitely up for the bingoport challenge, £75 sounds doable especially if I'm allowed to count the one I claimed yesterday;).

    Sorry to hear about your email and ebay problems Sylphraven, good luck with the daily clicks.

    See everyone later on BP :rotfl:

    Hi all, I saw choccy and furrypig on bingoport last night (well virtually saw them :D) I claimed a £5 voucher yesterday (hope it goes through) so thats my second one...

    I have only won once so far though, anyone have any tips to the odds being better? als I like the slots have got quite into them, but they do eat the points quite quickly...

    off now to post a few comments on there...

    How do you get points for taking it to the recyling at Tesco?


    At the big tesco's near my parents they have a recycling bit and if you put all your items into the special recycling machine it gives you a point per item I think!! I did it once when we stopped their for petrol as my mum didn't have plastic recycling collected so we used to take it for her so I got a few points but nowhere does it near me as far as I know.

    Is there a way to check where the nearest one is???
