    £13 from Her Majesty's taxman has just turned up in my bank account unannounced! Got a few quidco and TCB items tracked but going to wait until they are confirmed before adding them to my total. Free listing on ebay this weekend so time to turn out those drawers for a last push before the end of the month....

    btw does anyone think its worth me listing a really grubby large cotton wool Laura Ashley rug? It's a current style and retails at about £150 but when I asked a local carpet cleaner to clean it they said it was too dirty for their machines to cope!!!!

    smiths84 - I have no idea I'm afraid. I am fairly new to ebay myself.

    I have £90.54 from Ebay to add on from 4 sales last weekend. I am running out of things to sell now. I also have £40 to add on from Mr T which I was particularly pleased about as I had taken a joint of meat back that had gone off & they refunded the £20 there & then but yesterday I also got a letter of apology from them with a gift card for another £20. Considering I hadn't really even paid for it in the first place (I had used a £20 DTD voucher originally) I was rather pleased & felt less negativity about Mr T than what I often do. (oh, just realised that I can take £20 off my grocery challenge spends!)

    I also had some normal Mr T vouchers the other day for points. I think they were for £12 but will double check. So for now, total for the month is £130.54 plus my previous bingo win of £13.84 so £144.38.

    Hi All, I am really pleased this month as I have done £330 already. This was helped by a £50 cashbak from H*lif*x home insurance for staying with them for another year. The rest has been ebay and surveys ect and a MS payment of £15. Well don e everyone on the great totals.

    Well done everybody :j

    doing really well this month.

    I am not sure if I will ever make the challenges again, but worth the challenge to keep trying, as someone said to me yesterday, it keeps you motivated to keep trying :)

    not even sure if I will get a chance to do the free listings this weekend, have so much i can sell though.

    Cashed out £10 on Valued Opinions yesterday.

    yes you do! LOL, you have 7 years of Godlessness to deal with and in that time should have ebayed everything! And it is not the end of the world, it is the Rapture today... lol. We heathens will not ascend to eternal bliss.
