shrimpy_80

Hi everyone, great to see everyone doing so well!

Bit of a catch up for me - £10 Arcadia voucher from Ipsos, £40 in Tesco vouchers from a fabulous work colleague, £5 reward from Halifax, £5 Amazon from Justtheanswer and £15.50 from MS. Also bought something for someone off ebay with my paypal funds so will have that to add when they pay me, so only a tad behind so far this month. Am trying to convince myself to head to Ebay at the moment *shudder*

Found a £25 argos giftcard when cleaning up. Will come in handy for Xmas

Being lazy and not digging out receipts for moneysaving, but have got some stuff on ebay, just every time I try to list, DH says house is in tip, I say I know, but it stuff for listing, so have to have it out.

However, I am not going to include this but just went on the comparison site, through MSE for utilities suppliers and have found that by switching to Scottish Power which I did, as they called me up and offered me lots of incentives to switch, cashback, money back after a year, etc, etc, that I actually made the right move! I am going to save money with them over a year! I will save £192 and with Scottish Powers offers, I will be quids in .

Got DH on a lower tariff to with T-mobile by telling them theirs was too expensive and we were leaving, so he got a nice new phone and cheaper tariff.

Will go into 2011, a little better off I hope.

£40 in vouchers withdrawn and promptly spent on Xmas pressies, managed to get 6 people knocked off the list doing that!
Hubby has worked extra all this weekend too but gets paid end of next weekend (which is extra hours too!) so will see what he gets as bring-home before adding. We are a set of busy beavers at the mo!

0.90 Bank interest & £3.80 saved on fares. I've also done a couple of surveys but the money hasn't arrived yet so I'll wait to add.

So relieving to hear I'm not the only one in this exact situation.
They don't seem to realise that sometimes things need to get messier before they get tidier, and at least all our clutter is going and some extra pennies are coming in!

47 items just listed on Ebay over the last 3 hours or so.
Although about half way through when it started getting late I started doing the old trick of not adding photos and doing descriptions etc so I can get as many on as poss to take full advantage of Free Listing. So will have another fun filled day tomorro going through the ones that need doing properly and sorting them out

Have lost track of the extra bits I need to add for this challenge, but I will get on top of it tomorrow!

Yes, I keep telling him that I am selling stuff so we can have extra money, especially to help him out with his overdraft, but as usual it is all visual. He has no idea how long it takes to list stuff on ebay and what you have to do.

I am tempted now to just bag it all up and take it charity shop.

Anyway, someone said, can't remember if it was on here or on ebay thread, but if you do that, not add everything to your listing, when you go to edit it tomorrow, they will add editing fees, as it is no longer classed as a free listing.
