    Morning all! I'm smiling today as I've received my Dooyoo cheque - another £50 to add to the pot! I'll update my sig when it arrive.

    ...AND... Despite losing my initial £10 with B1ngoBr1tain, I've won £60 which I've now withdrawn. My strategy has been to play bingo as soon as I wake up... and with any winnings put this on the roulette table! I won £15 bingo today and put it on red a couple of times and hey presto - got to £60 which I quickly withdrew. I have tried this before and lost it all, but nothing ventured and all that hey?

    Anyway, that's another £110 for me today. Not bad - have definitely surpassed the £5 a day goal when it all gets added to my account. Hope you're all having just as good a saturday as me!
    March 2016 - £178,914.59; July 2017 £146,160.38
    Mortgage end Sept 2043; Target - pay off by March 2022, now Sept 2021
    Target balance July 2018 £112,560

    sweetpeas - so glad you decided to go out and really hope you have a fab night, although I am very very jealous! 80's fancy dress is my favourite, I do have a full on Madonna costume :o Did 80's for my bday too and made me and OH matching 'Choose Life' T-shirts (yes, very MSE!) Just thinking about it is making me feel like getting the dressing up box out! What's sadder is that I'm sat home alone in my PJs (and have been since half 5) :o

    And to top it all off I STILL haven't made any more money!

    Looking forward to seeing the pics x

    Its a website i came across the other week, greentec.org.uk. I had a faulty digi cam that i was going to put on ebay for spares or repair but decided to see if there was a site that would recycle them and pay me for the privilege. Its the only one i found, they recycle phones and mp3 players as well. I got quite a good quote for it £23.80 - that was the working price as my camera powers up and takes photos but the photos have lines all over them. However, it was posted using the freepost option on Monday and have not heard anything yet. You can give them your bank details so they pay you direct into your account, or they can send a chq - I opted for chq as didnt like the idea of giving out my bank details just in case. They say chq takes a bit longer, up to 7 days after getting the item and checking it. So i will let you know if I receive payment!

    the post office recycles and pays for old digital cameras too. oh and boots too I think.

    this is the link for the royal mail site

    http://www.simplydrop.co.uk/


    Recycle your old mobile phones, MP3 players, digital cameras and inkjet cartridges

    the boots one is https://www.bootsrecycle.com but I can't get onto the site.
