  • Savvy,that is one cool cake! Ive got to make OH's birthday cakes for work next month and im soooo stuck for ideas. Ive checked my tax credit calculation because of martins money tip and i think ive been underpaid so fingers crossed that is the case then that can go into the pot if so. Ive had an email about cashback kings saying that i can put in a claim with the liquidators but im not sure if i will bother because it might not be worth it,but i was owed over £100.

    I made a huge boo-boo on ebay last night and realised that lots of used things had been listed as new so i spent last night cancelling bids and re-listing things,needless to say i got loads of rude emails about cancelling people's bids :(

    Please keep the ideas coming, we are all doing so well! Thanks for the motivation! :D

    I sold another thing on Amazon last night so posted it first thing this morning. Only thing was it was a book which cost £2.80something to post and I only made £2.07 profit. I get confused with amazon though so hopefully I might get some postage back? Going to rethink my book prices because of this.
