If any of you have a b!ngo account with Foxy, log in and play the "everyones a winner" game - its free for all users and I just won 25p to play with. You get the money in b!ngo points so you can convert into playing credits. You never know you might win something with it, I have on a couple of occasions before

Aha!! Found the August thread. I've made my own template to log my savings and I'm raring to go. As there are only 14 days left for me in August, I will count £140 as a success. I will be in the swing of things by September.
We have just cleared the garden of a trailer we were storing things in and it weighed in at the scrap merchants to much more than we anticipated. While I was there I noticed a price list for all the scrap they pay for and included in the list was drinks cans. I have started crushing my drinks cans (and any I find along the way) and am collecting them to weigh in while scrap prices are so high. It's my way of kicking back at the council who have us all recycling our cans which they are getting paid a lot of money for but we aren't seeing our rates coming down or any kind of reward. Now they say they might have to start charging us for having our bins emptied ... er ... isn't this already charged for in our council tax?? They won't be getting any more of my aluminium cans. Squashing them is quite therapeutic too. I'll keep you all posted when I go for the first weigh in.

Hi, I've been lurking for a while, but I've been keeping a running total of my savings for this challenge. I've always been terrible at saving, but I know I need to change. So, here goes!

To add to my total:

£43.20 for working in my second job, £0.77 in change & £0.61 from some online surveys.

So far: £230.25/310

Evening all!

Had a good day today. Sold a dress which i bought about 2 years ago in the Wallis sale. I paid £10 for it, wore it twice, and just sold it tonight for £34!! Really happy with that! Too tired to work fees out tonight so gonna add £30 onto my total which takes me to £135/£150!

My step-daughters are visiting their bio-mum for 2 weeks so i've spent the day clearing out their wardrobes. Got loads of stuff which i've already taken pictures on. Gonna start preparing the listings on word ready to start selling tomorrow evening. Will be doing a couple of bundles and selling all of their decent stuff individually. I find that whenever i list the Next stuff with a 99p start price i often get £5-£10 per item so i'm keeping my fingers crossed! Need to make as much as possible to start and pay off my council tax arrears off before they take me to court *hangs head in shame*.... But at least i'm doing something about my debt these days. My rent payments are all up to date now so i'm happy with that!

Another 2 years and i might be debt free...lol!

when you sign up you get 20points, do the quiz, that is a further 200 points, play the pinata game, currently paying out 5 points, but I did win 100 points one week :j

then on preferences, don't choose anything for mailings.

when you are playing the games, the fair games, you will see in the top right hand corner, earn 10 shillings for signing up. click on that, it will sign you up for one thing, next week do the same again, and you keep earning 10 shillings.

play the games, 5 shillings each, each week.

play the competition. earn shillings - keep an eye on your emails for extra shillings.

you can cash out at 500 shillings for £5 voucher or 1000 shillings for £10 voucher, 2000 shillings for £20 m&S voucher

Hun save yourself this middle step of doing things on Word, and go as if you are going to list on Ebay right away, make your listing but where you put your start price there is an option to either 'Start immediately' which will be ticked already, or to Schedule it for another time.
Click on that and select either late tomorrow evening if you are going to start them tomorrow, or the next day in case you forget or don't have time tomorrow etc. It will say it will cost you 6p, but then when you actually want to start them, before the scheduled time of course, you click on the listing under the 'Scheduled' bit of My Ebay, in the same menu as Sold, Unsold, Selling, Watching etc etc, and change it back to Start Immediately.
Then it will be like you've just done the listing then so it will start immediately as normal, and the 6p will disappear as you've edited it and got rid of that option.

Hope this makes sense, but it's a fab time saving device on Ebay, and makes it easier to get listings ready so you can start them at a time that you want.

That's a great tip monkeynut - I didn't know that

Morning everyone. Decided to get the Quidco cashback from PP bingo site last night and ended up winning a £150 jackpot. Really chuffed...that'll pay for my mini camping camping trip at the end of the school holidays. Will eventually be £160 up with the cashback. Hurrah! I transferred the money straight out...anyone know how quickly that appears in your bank account?
