    welll.... it was one of those things, I thought I count vouchers as they help towards things.ie if I get a £10 boots voucher, it helps with DS' pullups and nappies, and £10 I don't need to spend off real money, etc.

    and this £350 vouchers means pleasedelete does not need to pay that amount from her wages, so she has saved money.
  • Whopping £1.26 to add from Quidco ;), plus 79p rebate from a tea offer (tea cost £1, rebate was £1.79, so 79p in profit).

    Also sold a book on Amazon today; total after fees and postage was £12.21, bringing June total so far to £24.26/£150.

    Morning all :)

    Pleasedelete : Lots of people count savings they make on shopping, money that has been gifted, found or even won, so i say count it all!!! :T

    Someone early on in the thread were doing a tally of money actually earned ( ebay, overtime, surveys ect ) and money saved ( shopping offers, coupons, ect ) I think its a good idea, identifying the two different ways you've got to your total.

    Personally i count money earned, i dont count savings on shopping, but do count t3sco club vouchers when they come.

    Actually from next month i may start counting money saved, but keep that separate. hth

    Question re: scheduling listings on ebay :o

    Now i sure this has been covered before, but i just wanted to make sure ive took it in right.

    If i prepare some listings today for ebay, and schedule them to start next monday @ 7pm, but then actually manually list them to go live earlier, say saturday @ 8pm, i dont get charged the scheduling fee's??

    If this is right how far ahead can you list items on a schedule?

    I really should know this :o:rotfl:

    you can schedule listings 3 weeks from the day you create it so if you then change it manually before this time you wont get charged the fee

    Absolutely, I do this all the time. It is particularly useful when a Free Listing Day is coming up as well and you want to be nice and organised!
    Think it's 3 weeks you can schedule for :)
