OMG I nearly fell for a phishing scam!!! I had an email from 'ebay', which looked so realistic, asking me to confirm my seller details, I believed it as I have only just started selling on the account. It took me to the ebay log in page, again perfect, it even had my username already there. I logged in (:o) and it asked for my email address and bank details... I thought that was dodgy as I'd already set my payment method. Checked the email... it came from [EMAIL="aw-confirm@ebey.co.uk"]aw-confirm@ebey.co.uk[/EMAIL]!

I went straight to ebay and changed my password. Phew. normally I can spot the fake emails a mile off so am pretty shocked about that!

In other news... I just checked on ebay and I've got free listings! It came up as free for both 99p and over £1 so it looks like I've now got my 100 free listings a month as well ... I've got no excuses for not listing now, lol.

It probably more common than people realise, and i'm also pleased to hear i'm not the only one going through this. This month, after all bills we had £85 left for food for 5 of us. Its amazing what meals i can come up with, all thanks to my daughters allotment! She is only 8 but has her own land next to her Grandad and i can honestly say i have no idea how i would have survived the last couple of month without all of the "free" veggies!
Hence the reason i'm doing this challenge! :rotfl:
Have a good weekend everyone! xxxxxxxx

CountingPennies - you're spot on, and I know from my own feelings - that many of us don't admit things like this, because we feel embarrassed or guilty even though it's no-ones fault. I know the thread running recently about the worst thing people have done brought quite a few people out of the closet but most of them were talking about things they'd done way ago in the past - not necessarily recently.

I for one can definately empathise, with how close at times we've been to me wondering when I would need to resort to more extreme measures to get us by. Whilst things are improving a bit for me, I'm still very much in that category.

It used to be said ... that we shouldnt knock people who do odd things - those that society percieves as tramps and the like ... as in reality, people are generally only 6 paydays away from a similar fate.
The sad truth is,,, these days I think many would be lucky for it do be 3 paydays.


On a lighter note ..... It's weekly update time again already :eek: Unexpected O/T of £52.50 and a £4 S/Card win (bought out of the winnings I got from the last one !!) So a nicely satisfying £56.50 added to my sig totals

:beer: To everyone on your achievements so far,,, keep going as we've plenty of month left yet !!

:money: To the lucky souls who've managed an early Target bashing !! :T Can you bottle whatever you're taking & post it to the rest of us ? :rotfl:

Welcome to the newcomers too, don't feel too shy to jump right in

Oh forgot to add £3 for a piece of lamb for tesco home shopping had ordered a leg of lamb but got some funny meat in a bag with no bone was £6.09 they refunded it but think only worth about £3 so only added that as had hoped to get couple of dinners of it. Also saved £1.50 a month on phone bill as being charged for family mobile discount which never use no idea why it was even on !!
Hope saving is going well for all of you.

I did they told me to report the other bags as they could not find anymore :mad: only oput them on as seen they where selling so well. As radley is designer unless they sell the bags seperately then I can not as they could be used for counterfiting classed as packaging when I asked then about people selling empty bottles of perfume apperently that is not allowed either or any type of packaging was at about £10 profit too with 6 days to go :mad:

Oh forgot to add £10 from sales they did allow also DH has got the bug he had to get phonecases for sales guys new phone they where on 3 for 2 only need to get 2 so brought one home to put on ebay.
