    Sorry a day late but here are my month totals.

    tcb:£39.32
    quidko:£4.40
    global:£30.31
    sample survey £10.00

    ebay £18.72
    shop savings £36.10
    roadkill £1.67

    Not a great ebay but I sold my best bits last month.

    This months challenges, loving the shop saving as it's good to watch it mount up, saving my odds in my pig and adding the roadkill to that.
    No carboots start round here until Easter so will have to wait for that one. Definately going to look at the sample sites and the petrol one although I live in the Dorset country so not sure wether it will benefit. Going to look through the cupboards for the ebay one and see what I can find.

    Well done on everyones totals. I can't believe how well we are all doing. What a team!!!

    Take care

    Kec09 : I was born with ezcema too but I am the opposite, it has got significantly worse as I have aged, as well as my asthma and developing hayfever. At the age of about 16 it was literally all over my body and I had a very unsympathetic doctor that simply told me 'you're stressed you will grow out of it' !!! I stopped seeing him a couple of years after that!!! The ezcema spread to my face about 2 years ago now (wasn't reallly on my face before that) and it's caused me alot of distress and embarrassment so I am willing to give anything a go now!

    Had a good sort out of my wardrobe tonight and have discarded about half of it. I was very brutal! Going to eBay most of it and some are in a pile ready for the car boot!

    Search on here for that first, I'm sure a lot of people were complaining about the time it took to get the code.

    Good morning everyone, I'm virus free!! It was a nasty piece of kit, malware scareware thing the IT guys said. I will have to buy them a box of chocolates to say thank you now I think. Plus I still have all of my files!

    So in total from surveys I got £32 this month and managed to achieve my one voucher per week :) £23 in my bank from MS'ing too with some more pending.

    Everyone's totals are fantastic !
    Dribbling my way to £11k... so far £653.69/£11000
