    Had a bumper morning, £10 from bb paid into acc and £5.50 from v bingo paid into acc plus my hip grant got paid in today too. I wasnt going to count this but as its money i otherwise wouldnt have had i thought i might as well.
    So my total today is £205.50:D, not sure how much of it we'll actually see tho as we've had to call locksmith out to fix our lock:mad:

    Whoop, got £19.25 from another eBay sale last night and I've got auctions ending tonight and some of the bits I listed over the weekend already have bids on - so feeling quite happy about that! I've also cashed up some coins to go and deposit tomorrow but won't count that until they are in the bank. OH and I sold a book on Amazon yesterday for £4.05.

    So my total is £116.98/£280
    I like to make money
    Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder

    £5.03 to add for me today (£5 discount on DH Sainsb*rys top up card, we get 5% discount everytime we top up through his works employee benefits scheme) and 3p I found under the bed when I was hoovering :D.

    Going to be changing over my contents insurance on 1st March and have found a potential £110 saving on what we're paying already ! A few policy changes but nothing that will affect any drop in cover for us - looking forward to adding that amount in March :j. I might have to go for the full blown £10 per day next month ;).
    :jWeight loss to date 1st 11.5lb :j

    I'm doing so badly this month. :( Maybe cos I haven't put much effort into anything?? ;) Anyway, first amazon sale for ages, profit £3.76, takes me up to £4.18. Hmmm, can't remember if I've already declared the £5.50 I got from ciao surveys that I can't access as it's on my paypal account. Must go and check. That would help a lot :rotfl:

    Mmmmmmmm going to count this as £30 income as would have spent it normally and had budgeted for it sooooooooo - been to get haircut and decided not to have colour on as well thus saving the said £30. Have decided that if end up looking lke a badger (all the grey showing through!) after 3 weeks will apply shop bought temporary product to ease transistion :o Hair looks fab though with lovely cut
