    Had a few slower days the last few days as OH has been off work, so haven't been wanting to spend all my time doing Surveys and Cashback!
    Also need to get back in gear and get some more listed on Ebay, as there is still a big box looming, despite the fact that we've sold loads of bits over the last couple of months. I think I'm finding more bits that I want to sell quicker than I'm getting around to listing them! I might try and get 5 things ready each day tomorrow, Sat and Sun (ie, take pics and save descriptions to a word document, and work out P&P charges etc), so that I have 15 things all ready to list on Sunday evening, which shouldn't take that long. I prefer listing to end on a Sunday. Should try and get the biggest things so that the "To Sell" box actually looks like it has less in it. But then again, maybe I should go for the things that are likely to sell for more.
    How often does Ebay tend to have Free Listing days/weekends? There was one not all that long ago wasn't there, only 3 weeks ish ago, so I'm guessing there wouldn't be one for quite a while. Does anyone know if they tend to be quite regular (even if infrequently). I wish I'd got more of the things that I wouldn't start for 99p listed on the last Free Listing Weekend. I know the listing fees are only small, but it all adds up as a chunk about of the profits.

    I think I've worked out that I've got £12.85 to add since my last update. Have had quite a low spend few days - only bought things we needed to really.
    Also started the process of trying to Reclaim some of OHs bank / credit card charges. So fingers massively crossed for that, just wish it wasn't such a slow old process!

    Ebay have been having FLD/ FLW approx every 6-8 weeks recently - which is quite nice, I have a blitz on more expensive items when they do and then put 99p start items on at other times (I've resolved not to pay listing fees - I find ebay quite expensive now with FVF and Paypal - but it's still a useful way of getting rid of items and making small bits of money...)

    I've been blitzing my inbox of survey invites - got screened out of most/; they were closed but have had a few. I don't count them until I can redeem them, though. Wish there were fewer questions to answer before screening out though.... ;)

    Can I be a later joiner please at £10 a day. I am at £31 at the mo - which is free daily scratchcards, a £5 off token and £16 in vouchers. I also got £10 from quidco but think I may have counted that in a previous month lol! I am hoping to change my utility supplier this month which could deliver cashback plus a significant annual saving - but they have no record of a meter at my address so need to ring them!!
