    Thanks but I'll have to pass on the Rolos - I look like I've eaten all the Rolos (and pies :o) already! :rotfl:

    Can't really claim the lunches back, just me being stupidly generous - it's a hard habit to break.
    As for the Ebayer, I accidently left positive feedback for them too, in a flurry of leaving it for others :mad:

    Just requested £89.53 from Amazon :T So really happy with that! :j

    £103.58 landed in my account today from Quidco, Ebay and Amazon - Yaaaayyyy!!!!! :j

    (Yesterday's Amazon request was for £82.89 - I got it slightly wrong, but I should receive that within the week :T)

    Almost managed a NSD - spent 70p - so getting there :D

    That's about all, other than we had just had another inch of snow this afternoon. I'm sick of it now.
    Hope you've had a good day if you're reading - off to update my sig!

    Brilliant news on all that money coming in, makes it all worth it!

    We've had snow today and I too am sick of it as it stops us from doing so much and just makes life generally difficult.

    I bought a Euromillions ticket tonight, just in case......

    Hi Mac.
    Thats a good chunk of money, well done.

    We have also had snow and to honest i'm getting a bit sick of the stuff, can't wait for spring.
  • Hi Macgirl - That's a good amount to receive for your efforts - I have a non-paying bidder too - you've just reminded me to open a dispute so I can re-claim the final value fee etc.
    Have a good day :)

    Thanks Miemie and MissO (and Hopeful ;)), hope you're all ok!

    Minimum payment went out to MBNA today and £75 to Lloyds, so I'll adjust my sig in a minute. I'm trying to make sure my overdraft is paid off this month, so I'm not making any overpayments on CC's until it is.

    I need to list more on Ebay and Amazon this weekend, as well as continuing with the big decluttering project :cool:

    Next I'm going to sort out the non-payer and get the item relisted, then I'm going to dust off the running gear in prep for tomorrow morning :o

    I really don't get ebay non-payers:mad: If you don't want it don't bid!! It's not rocket science!!

    You are doing really well on the decluttering too, well done you!!

    Hope that the snow does not visit again so you can make your run:D
