    Anyone else get extra clicks today on SuperPoints? If it is a promotion they are hiding it well :D. I have 150 instead of 100 today. Will see tomorrow if it was just a one off.

    Sat watching the footy with ds this morning (he had to go to bed last night before extra time and penalties so I recorded it for him) He asked me if he could have some boots like Rooneys - I had a look on eb £120 - er no mate, ok Joe Hart £25 - ok I said I'll go halves with you on them. I've just ordered them and the complete goalie kit from Sports Direct for £46.25 delivered - whole kit was less than £25 and used voucher code from HDUK for an extra 10% off - he will be over the moon and I've got his first "big" Christmas present to put away. Was able to pay with paypal as well so not denting the bank balance any more.
    OH has had a couple of phone calls today from potential jobs and is hoping he will get an interview at the end of the week.
    We had a good weekend of ebay sales and I am in the process of getting the next pile ready to list too - every little helps as they say, and we are really keeping an eye on the bank balance - although bank with Natwest and the money we paid in on Saturday is not showing in there yet :-(
    Not too far off my next swag redeem and am determined to have a day on Wednesday of eb listing comp entering and swag!

    glad everything going ok for you elysia.

    mum2one - can't believe some of these sites , fancy banning you , but power goes to some people's heads

    foxy - great deal on the footy things , I know boots can run into so much money

    I love my kindle it goes everywhere with me . I have thousands of books and if I start reading one and don't like it , I delete it straight away. with a paperback I keep going until the end and then think what a waste of time

    Good morning everyone :). Well yesterday's extra clicks on Superpoints must have been a one off, back to 100 clicks today :(. Oh well, never mind, just shows it is worth logging on every day, some days you obviously get extra bonus clickies ;)

    Finally found a receipt to womble at Asda on Sunday. There's usually none around as the trolley boys keep things very tidy ;). Got myself an APG coupon back for £3.50 yay :D, very happy.

    Hope you are all doing well and earning lots of extra money :D.

    Hi Susan. - I'll do a mini challenge with you.

    I can't get into Toluny lately as the surveys are worth so little, but as we say every penny helps, and my voucher pile is so low. :(

    I do SB's every day but only managed the daily challenge on there once this time, but I'll give it a go ;)

    I need to raise some pennies for school holiday days out etc, so I'm having an Ebay session on the next free listing - anyone care to join me?
    I :heartpuls M.S.E.

    Elysia - i`ll do the ebay challenge with you, just have to route around for somethings. I did start listing 100 things a month for 99p as they`re free listing. But went away and havent got back in to it yet

    Elysia - is Toluny not worth it? I was just looking for a site that would give me some vouchers. m&S ones preferably, like their meal deal thingys

    pounds - whats a AVP for Asda?



    Swagbugs 100 today reached :j

    count me in for ebay challenge, gt a few things already, and Miss Hoodie wants to sell her Pandora bracelet, (i don't mind, 1 its too small, and 2nd she doesn't want it - she says bad memories of her Irish lot!)

    Yes to Toluny - upto 55,000 points need a kick up the rear, let that slip.

    Did well yesterday, made myself write 5 reviews on dy, aiming to get £20 by Sunday........

    Looking forward to the monthly challenge, got to work you hard! xx (only joking xxx)
