    Oh and I would like to report that I listed my first ever items on e bay last week :D I put on some clothes that were new or in really good condition that I was just going to send to the charity shop.

    2 sold for 99p each and the other 2 I have relisted this week and one has a 99p bid :)

    So with fees etc, I've made about £1.50 so far - it's a start and I will be off rummaging later to see what else I can list :D
    It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission ;)

    Tranmere - sorry to hear your little one had bad chicken pox. We had it bad here in February, and my 4 year old is still really badly scarred from it though it has faded more on my 3 year old. It takes a while. I found mine were tired so easily for ages afterwards too, and my littlest had it worst and seemed to catch everything for the first month - colds, tummy bugs. We seem better now thankfully.

    Plan here today is we need a big house tidy up as there just seems to be stuff everywhere, and we have loads of ants running round. I keep hoovering, so maybe one of the kids dropped something sticky under the settee.

    Happy morning though, as the postie brought a £50 YG cheque for DH which he said i should use as i think, and 2 duvet sets which i got to put away for the boys for christmas. Ordered from amazon using vouchers. :D

    Monring all

    Is that DY fridge thing on for a while? We have quite a new fridge I could do but wont have time over the weekend to do it as family round.

    Managed three surveys this morning from different sites, not sure how much they added up to as were for points. Got a 99p thing going tonight on Ebay as well so hopefully that should be £2.50. If not I had £20 payment in bank from TCB yesterday which I hadnt counted in yesterdays total so I will use that. I have over £5 waiting to claim on there too but just got another £4 waiting so might as well hang on for that too.

    Not sure when it's on 'til Rufus. Perhaps you could pop over and see if your fridge is listed, and make a suggestion if not. That gives you a two day head start than if you didn't make the suggestion until Monday ifyswim. ;)

    Well done Tranmere on you ebay sales - What's our motto? - the same as Mr T, every penny helps. lol. It's a bit more in your pocket and that's what counts hun.

    Neice and DD's best friend both had chicken pox over Easter, and both are badly scarred. Could you try bio oil Michelle? It's expensive, but perhaps you could just use it on their little faces. :(

    Thanks Elysia. Just managed two surveys on Viva and have redeemed £10 for first time on there (bit behind everyone else I think as never any surveys on there when I go on lol).

    Morning all, very slow this morning, just 2400 TL points, i didn't qualify for any other surveys I tried this morning. But I think I have managed my £2.50 for the months weekends anyway if they're all slow like this. Just got £160 tracked in quidco from vodafone :)
    Total Debt at LBM - £19107.03
    Total now - £11091.22

    Well done Samm - you jammy thing. ;) What have you bought nice?

    I'm sorry, I haven't noticed your signature before - Congratulations on your marriage. :)


    Rufus - no surveys at all for me today. I'm sat in the garden listing all my ebay items instead. :)

    Ladies a question with shop and scan! I have just ordered DS a 8ft trampoline from Tesco direct so do I still barcode it and what does it come under? The internet barcode? Made my money for today as Mum gave me money for DS to buy him something and all my friends are giving me £10 each so its paid for and I used my quidco and clubcard so points and cashback! It was down from £119 to £90 and they have a code for £10 an over £75 spend and free delivery! So got it for £80!!! He will still have money left to buy some other bits too!
