    I havent been on because I have been sorting stuff out and have not had the will to post although keeping an eye on you all.

    My saving/ paying off debts is really struggling financially as had to pay unexpected bill totalling about £300 in the couple of weeks before Christmas in vets bills (one of the dogs got attacked,) cracked windscreen on car and the car broke down in supermarket car park on my Christmas shop trip.:(

    Have taken a photo of my first candidate for e bay so all I need to do now is find out how to transfer it to the computer and how to list on e bay. :T I rhought i would start very small and then when I know what I am doing build it up slowly.

    Hope all poorly people feel better soon and 2011 is a good year.

    I've just found a pinecone research referral link in my emails if anyone wants it PM me :) It's £3 a survey (paid by paypal or vouchers) and no benefit to me by you signing up with my link, but I think you can only join by referral. The email is from mid-dec but I just tried the link on another browser and it's working for now :) PM if you want it :) xx

    Hope everyones doing well with their challenges. My eBay one has failed because I have absolutely nothing I could list. But i've got my pots for saving change and added a savings account on my online banking so I've got those done. Hopefully i'll have some bits to ebay soon :) xx

    No problem hun, I saw it on the up your income board, so I can't take the credit, I'm glad it will help some of you out and fits in really well with our January challenge.

    Well done with opinio surveys reaching payout level, great start to January :)

    Keep checking my ebay listings it's becoming a little addictive, still have until Sunday but lots of watchers and well on the way to hitting target.

  • Thanks for mentioning free listing weekend - I'll use tomorrow to gather everything up. I managed to get a £5 amazon voucher off bingoport today :) Does anyone else get them? Am I right in thinking I can only use one with each order? I can't collect them together for an order?

    The fab thing about amazon vouchers is you add your vouchers to your amazon account which shows as a gift voucher balance, which means you can use as many £5.00 vouchers in one transaction as you like!

    Poohspals - you go into you amazon account and it says apply a gift certificate. Click on that and paste the code in. This will then be in your account ready - you can add as many as you like, so you don't have to use them one at a time - you can save them up for a big thing.

    Hello ladies - right then, it's free listing is it? Ha ha ha *evil laugh* Right then, mini challenge time - Take advantage of the free listing and list a minimum of three extra things (if you can - don't worry if you can't, despite the laugh i'm not evil - I promise LOL)

    Off to bingoport - will catch up later.

    ETA: sorry Savvy didn't noticed you'd posted - note to self, refresh the page when you make a cuppa next time. ;)
