Thanks for the advice JesaRose, he's got loads of stuff to clear out, he has a rediculas amount of playmobile which seems to go quite well on ebay.
Just done the scratch cards and won £1 which took me upto the payout level, so I've just withdrawn £10.0 -
£12 from Bingo. £57.71/£155
And don't worry, the bingo wins aren't a false economy as not depositing anything. Both Mum & I have won small amounts on free bingo on Gala. What we've done since then is buy 1 ticket (5p) in City for the Battle of the Clubs link game each evening - as if someone wins the full house in that club everyone in the club is given a divi. Because of the high number of players in City they win more often than not, but the divi is low 80p-£1, but it's enough to swell the coffers, collect it up and withdraw or play a few penny games as we do (always leaving a £1 in the account to do the 5p ticket a day see). So I'm only counting money we actually withdraw in the January total. Clear as mud, eh?! :rotfl:0 -

Hi everyone :hello:
I've had a better evening so far then I had afternoon... was one of those where everything goes wrong. Broke down in tears a couple of times, before eventually caving in and deciding I might as well laugh cos crying won't make any odds anyway! :rolleyes: (No one to cry to anyway cos I was on my own, so seamt a waste of effort..)
Anyway, posted ebay parcels and found out child care saving was actualky £25, so will add that to my total.
Apart from that nothing to update, will be doing some more ebaying at the weekend hopefully, if I can a) be bothered and b) find something to sell :rolleyes:
Hope everyone's having a nice evening xx
ps- I know it's been mentioned on threads before but thought some of you might still like to know- I'm reading a brill book at the min by Kath Kelly called How I survived on a pound a day for a whole year. It's really good and quite an eye opener, but funny at the same time to see some of the lengths someone will go to to cut their cloth! Have a read if you can
