    not sure which way to go on this one
    - either I claim £350 for a company funded weekend away,
    - or I deduct £150 for some slap up meals with the family while we were there.

    I think I'll just leave it as I was, and return to my £10 making ideas tomorrow
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    £20 for my birthday:beer:.

    £25 for cinema vouchers. I will count these as it was only due to me being an :money:thinker that I decided to try to get some money back. (It was also my daughter's birthday, we took her to the cinema to watch Up 3D. She found it way too noisy and cried so much I had to take her out. She is 7 and has never had to be taken out a film before. Having spoke to a manager, we got 3 free vouchers for our next trip to the cinema. The manager ran after us in the car park and gave us a box of pixar models to say sorry, and hoped she'd still enjoyed her birthday:A:T.) Result: one happy birthday girl:D. Moral of the story - if you're not happy, just say something, as politely but as firmly as you can.

    £135 from selling old cooker on ebay :D:beer::j had secretly hoped for more, but at least it is another bit of clutter out of the house (have been hiding it under a throw in the dining room for last 11 months!):o

  • Hi all,

    Nothing to add today, although I did do a load of Ebay listing last night yay me!

    I havent done much else for the challenge, in last few days as I have been busy starting to mount my first PPI reclaim - so have spent hours going through the old paperwork!

    13 hours overtime last week @ £20 an hour.

    Going to try and beat that total this week!!
  • =( Havent managed much the past couple of days – eBay has never been so dead for me! No body seems to be buying anything – Will put lots on tonight though and hopefully something will sell. I keep having lots of watchers but no buys ~ Maybe it’s when my items are finishing? Hmmm .. I don’t know :0(

    Finally got life insurance last night, got a free £50 voucher and the monthly premium we were quoted was no different to any of the others :D ~ Not sure whether it counts but I’m counting it .. Just to make me feel better!

    xx
    2017 wins so far: Diddly squat :(
    Make £10 a day in February - £16.05/£280
