    The trip today went really well, the weather was actually lovely and the place was really quiet, so everything went very smoothly :) So far it has been a nsd :T

    I have also just won £5 on a games offer and reached payout on a survey site (£50), and have a free bet tonight that should hopefully make me approx £30, so that should go some way to recovering the deficit from this month :D

    Off to rearrange finances for the start of the new month :)

    Signature all adjusted, we're back up to July 2019 :( although tonights free bet should get that back down to June, it basically puts me a month backwards, but hey ho, lets get going again and hope that May is a better month :o

    Quidco has paid out £51 today and a survey site has paid out £5 too. Also I have the £6 from the electric reduced direct debit to chuck into the mortgage pot, so things aren't looking so bad this morning :D

    I've got a load of stuff on Quidco that has been 'tracked' for months with no movement whatsover! A few bits are waiting to be paid but that money will be swallowed up by the £5 fee.

    BenBen, could I please pick your brains? I have just sold my first ever item on Eb*y, and I am all of a dither. Its a cd, and with the new postage charges coming in tomorrow, I have no idea how many stamps to put on it. I am totally confused, read RM website, but don't have any scales so no idea how much it weighs, I think I will need a large G&T to steady my nerves!:eek:
    I've sold loads of CDs on ebay and I've been sending them first class which used to come in at £1.09 but I usually charge £1.25. I got a new 'Postie' app on my phone which has all the up to date charges on it and it says £1.20 now. I always add a little extra on to take into account packaging, sellotape shoe leather etc.

    You're better off taking it to the post office because you'll be losing money if you stick stamps on and will be eating into your profit :D
