  • I made £41.96 in savings today at Mr T BUT as it is not 'real' I will not add it to my total...I want to tally physical cash rather than what I would have spent. Not sure but I think a savings pot full of cash would be nicer than a big number and nowt to show for it :O)

    I'm really annoyed with myself for loosing track and not counting all the pennies exactly for the last few days. I think I got too complacent once I'd reached my target. Even though I had said that I wanted to keep going as the first £90 I made on the 1st was from bits and bobs that I had listed already, rather than the rest which has been because of motivation from doing this challenge.
    I have just listed about 30 things on Ebay today and yesterday as I had a couple of Free Listing Days, so have got nearly all of the box of things waiting to go on Ebay to start at over 99p finally listed.
    Need to edit about half of them tomorrow though, as I was running out of time tonight, and don't like things to end too late as it reduced the liklihood of last minute bids. But to make sure I took advantage of the Free Listing, I've just done them really quickly, and not added pics yet or writted descriptions properly. Therefore no one is at all likely to bid on them straight away at the moment, so tomorrow can Revise them, and do them properly in my own time without rushing but still not have to pay the fees! :)
    If they do well then I'll join this Challenge for next month and get a nice little head start again.

    Amongst other Cashback, surveys etc, I've also got £4 to add from my very first Mystery Shop!!! :D

    Glad to hear everyone else is doing so well as well!

    That's what I always do on FLDs - get basic details on for as many things as possible and then put pics etc on after :D:D

    £2.02 TCB & 1p found in the street.

    I am waiting on £40 from TCB from switching utility supplier but it hasn't tracked yet after 4 weeks. I find TCB fantastic when it works but they take forever to resolve queries - I've had an query outstanding for almost a year & its worth £75. Whinge over...

    I can't believe I hadn't thought of it before. I could have had my big box of "To Ebay" clutter out the way long ago! I find it just takes so long to put things on, especially if DS is being clingy, and by the time I've had to stop to feed him, the evening has wizzed past and it's too late to list things and I look and have only managed to get like 5 or 6 things listed!
    Just means I'm still plowing through them now though!!
