I've just got my eBay account changed back to personal (from business) so I 'could' count my re-lists I've just put up as they were free instead of 40p but I won't as really I was spending money listing things I didn't need to before.
Now I need to find stuff to list I wasn't going to put on as it wasn't worth paying to list...you never know I might make a bit from it.You have to start to finish.

LOL - yes it is a pain that they can only function in IE.0 -
Woohoo! finally cashed out a £10 DP voucher on spud shillings! so will stop playing with that account now, Thanks Aesop for the heads up on that!
i think i will now stop playing as the accounts don't seem to glitch points anymore, shame really, but i got something for very little effort, so pleased, was secretly hoping to get the m&s voucher but ah well.
Also been collecting sun perk points this week, i have only bought the paper this week as it is double points, will buy 6 papers tomorrow, as it is double points, so that will be a further 600 points, which means i will have enough for my SATC2 dvd and a £5 tessie voucher, I am hoping to womble enough points for a further tessie voucher. so its all starting to add up towards crimbo, although i spend it with my family at my grandmas, so will just contribute to the food and Bring Schloer, which has been the dinner drink for as long as i can remember.Lose 28lb 3/28lb

Valued Opinions, I emailed then to say I've been waiting 8 weeks for my voucher and they've got back to me saying its been lost in the post. Lucky for me though they are doing the right thing and sending out another voucher recorded delivery...take note surveyfriends! I've just read the local paper and it seems a postman has been arrested following a find of 30,000 letters in his home address....hmm...

Have finally worked out Ebay profits from the month so far, as I'd kept putting it off!! Too early in the morning for maths really, but even so, means I can add £74.25 to my total for the challenge, which is fab as I've just added it to my sig already, and brings me almost up to target for the month so far!!
Pleased with that as I was beginning to think I wouldn't get there this month. I could have added tonnes more really from saving so much money on Christmas presents, and baby things from the special Double the Discount Days at work at the start of the month. Didn't add anything for that here as I wouldn't have known how to work out 'savings' really, as although we saved heaps, we wouldn't have bought everything now had it not been for the discount (although would have bought it at some point). Should hopefully make the challenge without needing to resort to changing my mind about adding it
Could also have added some money from saving on food shopping this month, as we have barely had to do any while we use up freezer and cupboard food, but although we have actually used some of the savings there to pay off the CC (which was only the money spent on the Double the Discount Days anyway!!) we haven't had an actual budget in place for food shopping yet. This is something I want to start to try to do. We are thinking £40 a week, and I might get that out in cash each week and have it set aside to include all top up shopping as well. And more importantly all the 50p here, 40p there etc that OH spends on a bag of crisps/chewing gum/ pot bloody noodles, McDonalds etc while he's at work. Really winds me up that he doesn't realise how much they all add up.
Great news about your voucher from VO Nat, at least they have been helpful for you. I've got a bit frustrated at their communication not so long ago when I was trying to sign OH up. (Wouldn't let him sign up as it said his email was already registered, but if I tried the Forgotten password link, it said his email address was not recognised!?! No one seemed to want to explain how come or help!!! Thank goodness for unlimited free email addresses)

Anyone else going to do the Daily mail thing starting tomorrow, £100 off your shopping? I want the tesco vouchers really
I got DM vouchers through Wowcher promotion a few weeks ago, so the paper cost is neglible for me.
But the Tesco voucher is £1 x 5 vouchers that can be used in Tesco. Individual products, see mse post below, not worth it unless you want these products.
Today is £5 of £30 spend at Debenhams - well according to website it is, and according to Paper, Marks and Spencers.

I have been a bit slack in updating this month so have got a few things to add-
£3 P1necone, £20 proft from a G'mes offer, £5 won on free bingo cards and £27-50 from a bookie offer.
Well done everybody, everything we add on here, is stuff we would not have had otherwise - so all those extra pennies are brilliant!2023 Weekly Cash Envelope Savings Challenge #04
