    Good morning everyone
    News from me. Yesterday I received a free electricity usage monitor from British Gas - I saw an ad somewhere on MSE and applied for one. Well it's worth £60 for the kit - so I'll add that to my total - £828.83.

    But the thing is I spent the whole night running around the house powering on and off all the lights and appliances. Gave me quite a shock to see just how much the units changed. Ended up sitting in the dark with the log fire on!
    :eek:
    Looks like a great piece of kit though - it also had a standby switch off thing which I haven't used yet - so I'l let you know how it goes.

    And thanks I got the £5 off £40 from the Sun so I'll going shopping later and see what I can save.

    All the best to everyone as we're on the home run - Thanks to Purpleroses.

    My purse sold on eBay for £30 so I think that means I made my total!

    Still some more bits on to end this weekend so fingers crossed will have more to report :)

    Made my first sale on Ebay today. Competition prize (free) went for £36. Fees totally £3.75 so profit of £32.25.

    This brings my total to £225.15 for this month. Am very very proud of myself. Whoop Whoop.

    Seeing a rumour on the forums that Free Listing on Ebay Sunday and Monday 22 to 23 August.

    Not sure why ebay would do that, but seems to be working. Someone with a turbo lister has started getting stuff ready and said when they put date for tomorrow, listing as 0.

    Ebay showing Sat and Sun 21 and 22?

    Ok, they have edited the post on ebay! It didn't say the same thing earlier! Thanks purpleroses, I just checked again and they have changed it

    My email this morning says the 22nd and 23rd on the header - but they've got the dates wrong before when they've meant the sat and sunday.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
