An update from me - £4 from those shy people at P*nec*ne Surveys and £12.25 from TopCashBack both now in my PayPal account - plus I have an odd one to add .......... we were at the car boot last Sunday, walking round the stalls, talking to our friends, etc and when we went to put some stuff in the van, I thought I'd picked up a stone in my shoe, so I took it of and shook it, and out dropped a 10p coin!!!! Now it couldn't have been in there long as I would definitely of noticed, and it wasn't mine as I had not used my purse for a good half hour before, so someone must have dropped it and by luck it went in my shoe - shame it wasn't a pound coin though !!!!! P.S. thinking of wearing my wellies tomorrow at the car boot - not just 'cause of the rain but also more space for money to drop into them
Right, that's £16.35 to add taking my new total to £335.13

Have you thought of putting a query onto the TCB thread?
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/25864093#Comment_25864093
TCB reps come on at regular periods to check out any queries. They might be able to help you out. I know they are having problems with some retailers at the moment who are taking a long time to pay up.:( Still my fave cashback site though.
Thanks LadyfromVenice - that's really helpful - I didn't know there was a TCB thread. I really like TCB too & 9 times out of 10 they are fantastic & I have to say that even though my query has taken forever to resolves they're always wonderfully polite.
Aureol - You sound like you've done amazingly well over the holidays - especially given the setback with DS' arm - hope he recovers soon - although it doesn't seem to be cramping his style...
I recovered from my lack-of-holiday wobble - it really helped posting on here. This weekend a very kind friend has let us use her caravan for free (I'll treat her & her OH to a nice Sunday Lunch when we're there) so I will get to see the Sea this year. Must admit though, not having a holiday this year has made me realise just how important having a holiday is for me so I am going to try my best to save up for one next year.
Have a good weekend allHave nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.

Hi all, I have another £17 from paypal though ebay sales...my stuff is going well
yay
RubySewSew if you have time list the Jamie at Home stuff on ebay. I did when I stopped being a rep and got £49 for my anti-pasti platter and did equally as well on all the other items...I had lots of those 20p mags and sold each one at £2.95 to loads of Aus and NZersI found it to be most profitable that way. Only took two weeks to get all my money back give or take a quid or two
Good luck x
