    Do vouchers such as Leisure Vouchers count? :confused:

    I've got a small pile that we're saving towards a hotel for a weekend away. We would probably have gone away for the weekend anyway, and this just makes the hotel free!
    Another £5 voucher arrived this morning from Pigsback! :j

    Sold three of my Angora rabbits for £80. Promptly spent it on hundreds of books at the local auction (got a bit carried away - OH not pleased!) Here's hoping Amazon sales go well!

    is it too late to join say the bronze one to complete in 5 months. I guess its just extra money that I can save ie, from pigsback ( do you just click on the 10 point pink adverts?) and Ebay. Is there anything else I could do / include. Also what is Quidco ? Is it like pigs back. Can someone answer my questions. Many Thanks Tracey

    Go for it! You're only competing against yourself :). There are lots of things you can do on Pigsback to get points, there is a Pigsback thread here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=359420 that has lots of interesting tips and usually the answers to the quiz questions too!.

    You can also sell stuff on ebay or amazon, take on extra overtime at work, do people's ironing, one person on here has started a dog walking service..... anything that makes you money that you wouldn't have had before. There is quite a lot of tips on Annie's first post at the start of this thread.

    Good luck :)

    Hi Tracey
    On Pigsback just click on the 10 point pink borders for 10p each time. Check out the Pigsback thread, and especially the 1st couple of posts for lots more point earning opportunities.

    hurray! I'm off the mark - found 5p on the floor :) Also have £9.66 in Ciao. Will add surveys, pigsback etc when I get the vouchers to sell on ebay to add to the pot.

    So now £9.71 towards it! Can't wait til I get broadband at home again. Have a towering pile of things just shouting to be ebayed! :)

  • Hi all,
    This week a little better. Have got a tax rebate (it's so nice when they give you something back isn't it!) of £99.66 so I am including this. :j :j Also just received first £10 gift voucher from pigsback. My plan is to use these towards Christmas presents and save what I would normally put away. Sold a few things on Ebay, will add to my total when I have worked out fees and postage.
    I am waiting for money from Allience and Leicester to be tracked with Quidco (from September). I put in an enquiry before Christmas. It has been saying "ready to send" since then. Has anyone ever received the money from Allience and Leicester. If so how long did it take.

    I am waiting for that one too! mine was back in Sept too. Not holding out much hope, not fair as I opened 2 with them so would have £100
